Tourism in South Korea is tied to a beach holiday in the summer and the provision of a full range of services to fans of winter active sports, primarily skiers. The picturesque country can also surprise you with its national flavor, standing next to historical monuments and sophisticated skyscrapers.
Travel in comfort
South Korea is a relatively small country that can be traveled around in a day. Tourists prefer to travel by rail, especially since not so long ago a novelty tourist train appeared here, which resembles a good hotel.
Although the rooms are small, but very cozy, there is a restaurant where you can brighten up the road, and a viewing platform, from which you can see stunning Korean landscapes. Other popular modes of transport include bus and passenger ferries.
Complete security
This country is considered one of the most prosperous not only in Asia, but also on the planet, since street crime has been reduced to a minimum. Of course, a gape tourist can be deceived here, but still the chances of getting into such a situation are much less.
In South Korea, there is another thing to be wary of, namely, getting hit by a car, since the number of car accidents is quite high. Therefore, it is important not to forget about the traffic rules and be extremely careful on the streets.
Housing without problems
South Korean hotels have their own classification system, which they receive from the National Agency, only five classes and the difference between them is insignificant.
Some tourists prefer to stay in the so-called condominiums, small hotels with a bar or restaurant and parking.
Not everyone is ready to choose an exotic way of living, meanwhile, it is quite possible to stay in one of the local monasteries and even get to know its rather closed life. And the architectural reserves have their own amazing housing for tourists, decorated in accordance with national traditions.
