Welcome to Seoul. Arrive at Incheon International Airport and transfer to Seoul by AREX. Enjoy a welcome dinner after checking in at Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun.
Take a history and culture tour, visiting the War Memorial of Korea and Gwangjang Market. Gyeongbokgung Palace, one of Seoul’s five historic palaces, is also on the itinerary before trips to Insa-dong and Bukchon Hanok Village. End the day with a Korean traditional-style meal with various side dishes.
Set off to Korea’s Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ. The line, a buffer between North and South Korea, is drawn at the 38th parallel north and runs for 250 kilometers. Korea’s Freedom Bridge runs next to, not over, Imjingang River. Explore the underground tunnels and learn how each side defends their territory. After the tour, travel to Andong and spend the night at a traditional hanok.
Relax in the morning before visiting Buyongdae viewpoint and Hahoe Folk Village, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Hahoe Mask Museum. After the visit, travel to Gyeongju and dinner in Hwangnidan-gil, where the trendiest restaurants are located. Later, dress in traditional hanbok and take a walking tour under moonlight.
Start your day in Gyeongju with a visit to Cheomseongdae, the oldest-surviving astronomical observatory in Asia. Then, learn how to make bibimbap at a cooking class before visiting Seokguram Grotto and Bulguksa Temple, both UNESCO sites. End your day with a temple stay at Bulguksa Temple and gain a deeper appreciation of Korean Buddhism
The day begins with early morning meditation. At the conclusion of your temple stay, travel to Busan and visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple. After a stop at Jagalchi Market, enjoy grilled clams at a beach-side restaurant.
Spend your last morning exploring Busan before transferring to Incheon International Airport via Korea Train Express.
If fabulous food and beverages are a must-have for any weekend getaway, then look no further than the City of Brotherly Love.

(With the exception of Bolo, which is a short taxi or Uber ride away and definitely worth the trip, the rest of these spots are all within walking distance of each other.)
Whether it's the people, the craic (fun) or the coasts, travelers always find something to love about the island of Ireland. What fills your heart?
