Ms Karyl's firsthand tips
Firsthand Experience
When many people come to Korea, they go to Myeongdong, Hongdae and Lotte World first. If you want to know more about Korea, I recommend taking the Paju History and Peace Route with a tour guide.
Recommended by Ms Karyl
Guests who want to learn about Korean history as well as take photos at the sights can arrange to visit with a tour guide.
