Ok, I didnt really plan this, so I am counting on fellow travelers to enlighten me :)

Just finishing a 4 weeks trip in China, and decided to go to South Korea for a few days. Here is my itinerary so far:

July 29 Arriving in Seoul
July 30 Seoul
July 31 Seoul
Aug 01 Seoul - ?
Aug 02 ?
Aug 03 ?
Aug 04 ?
Aug 05 ? (must be back in Seoul in the evening)
Aug 06 Departure to Brazil

As you can see, I have nothing planned...I have read Kyongju is amazing, so are Incheon and Busan. Well, I only have 3 extra days... So which city would you go to in this short time?

Thank you all for your help!

Hey there!

Busan is a must see for night life and beaches and shopping.

Incheon isn't anything special. A lot of Korean cities are unfortunately similar, especially the major cities.

I live in Yeosu, in the south of Jeollanamdo. I definitely recommend it. We've got a few small beaches and the archipelago landscape is breathtaking. Hit me up if you plan a visit!

Is there anything in particular you're looking for?

Hello!! Awesome to hear you will be visiting Korea.

Well, if it helps here is the link to the Korea Tourism Organization Official Website http://www.visitkorea.or.kr which I think will be pretty helpful in deciding where you want to go after Seoul.

It depends on what want to do and what kind of things you are into.

Kyeongjeu is a very important historical city as it was Shilla (one of the 3 kingdoms)'s capital during the Three Kingdoms Era. So you will find many cultural heritage places.

I think that if you want to experience Korean Culture Kyeongju is a good option.

I suggest spending a day in Suwon and do a trip to the nearby Korean Folk Village.
