Hostelling Information

Country Overview

Hike over pine–clad hills; bike through stunning landscape; ski at one of 12 resorts; learn the martial art of taekwondo; play billiards with the locals; soak in hot springs. Dotted with 20 national parks and inhabited by zealously nature–loving people, South Korea is spectacular. Seoraksan National Park in the north features stupendous waterfalls, rugged peaks and ancient temples; Seoul, the capital, boasts pagodas, palaces and pleasure gardens; Buyeo in the west has the remains of the old capital of the Baekje kingdom; Gyeongju in the east offers one of the most magnificent temples in Asia. From the Korean Folk Village (not simply a tourist site but a genuine community showing the rural way of life), to the sport and fitness town of Cheju on Jejudo Island (or 'Land of Morning Calm'), Korea's hostels present a wide choice of accommodation in city centres, by the coast and in the heart of the countryside.
