Tour South Korea
South Korea by rail and road

From €1359 per person – accommodation and transport included

Discover Korea comfortably by train and bus

This two-week journey through South Korea combines the variety of the capital with the charm of historic cities and the calm of nature — all comfortably by public transport. You start in Seoul, where palaces, markets and modern architecture blend in harmony. An excursion to the DMZ takes you literally to the border between two worlds. You then continue by train and bus to Suwon and Jeonju, where you are immersed in traditions, crafts and colourful culture.

In Suncheon you discover picturesque villages and protected wetlands, while vibrant Busan surprises with markets, temples and spectacular coastlines. The route then leads to Gyeongju, the ancient capital that today is an open-air museum filled with royal tombs, temples and ponds. You end once more in Seoul, with free time to relive your favourite spots. Every region shows you a new face of this multifaceted country.
