Korea at a glance 대한민국

South Korea sits on the Korean Peninsula in East Asia. Its capital, Seoul, is one of the world's great cities, and the country packs a lot into a small area: royal palaces and mountain temples, hiking trails and beaches, volcanic Jeju Island, and modern cities full of neon, cafés and K-pop. Korean food, from barbecue to street snacks, is a reason to visit all by itself.
