Seoul & Busan
Our 17-day South Korea trip joined Seoul's palaces, hanok neighbourhoods and high-energy city life with Busan's coastline. The places we visited felt clean, safe and well connected, and the KTX made the transfer between the two cities straightforward. Travelling with a three-year-old still brought real friction. Baby-changing facilities were hard to find in the cafes and restaurants we used, and vegetarian meals required more advance research than we expected. This guide keeps those trade-offs alongside the highlights, itinerary and costs we recorded in May 2024.
