A Journey Through Korea’s Old Soul and New Energy
South Korea is a honeymoon dream when it’s paced properly: cinematic city nights, layers of history you can actually feel, and a coastline that surprises you at every turn. This 7-night itinerary starts in Seoul, flies south to Busan, then slows down in Gyeongju—before returning to Seoul for a final night wrapped in skyline glow.

Seoul — Palaces, Hanok Streets, and Market Flavours
Your honeymoon begins in Seoul with an easy first evening: modern city lights, late-night bites, and the feeling of being dropped into something exciting. For the next few nights, your base is Four Seasons Seoul, perfectly placed for a private guided deep dive into the capital’s most iconic heritage.
A classic cultural pairing sets the tone: Gyeongbokgung Palace followed by the National Folk Museum of Korea—then balance it out with street-level Seoul at Gwangjang street market and a stroll through Bukchon Hanok Village. If you want to lean into tradition, we’ll also weave in time to walk alongside locals in hanbok, without making the day feel staged.
Where to stay: Four Seasons Seoul
Old Seoul, slow steps—tradition that feels intimate, not performative
Busan — Beach-City Glamour, Seafood Markets, and Coastal Cliffs
Next, take a short flight down south to Busan—South Korea’s “city on the beach”—where the mood shifts to coastal and effortless.
Check into Park Hyatt Busan, set in the heart of the beach-and-shopping district, then take the city by night: head up Busan Tower for panoramic views and the landmark details below, including the Statue of The Great Admiral Yi Sun-Shin and the Bell of the Citizens.
For food lovers, Jagalchi Fish Market is essential—fresh, vivid, and unapologetically local. Then trade city energy for nature at Taejongdae National Park, peering over the cliffs toward the ocean from the lighthouse (with a hidden temple nearby for an unexpected pause). Finish with a wander through the colorful storybook streets of Gamcheon Culture Village—equal parts history and creative reinvention.

Gyeongju — A “Museum Without Walls” and Night Reflections at Anapji Pond
From Busan, travel north by train into Gyeongju, the historic capital—your final cultural chapter before returning to Seoul.
You’ll spend the night at Hilton Gyeongju, then head to Anapji Pond, where the reflections of Donggung Palace create one of the most quietly romantic scenes in the country.
Gyeongju is rich with architectural and archaeological depth, including the world-famous Bulguksa Temple and the Seokguram Grotto. If the timing aligns, Yangdong Folk Village adds another window into tradition—calm, authentic, and beautifully contrasting with Busan’s creative village.
