day 1Welcome to Seoul

Seoul - Myeongdong - Seoul. Your South Korea adventure begins this afternoon, when you’ll meet your guide and fellow travellers at the hostel. After a short welcome and pre-departure briefing, we’ll dive straight into the action.
Our first experience is a hands-on Taekwondo session led by professional instructors – an energetic introduction to one of Korea’s most iconic martial arts.
After working up an appetite, we’ll head to Myeongdong, one of Seoul’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, for a welcome dinner. It’s a great opportunity to get to know your group, share your excitement, and raise a glass to the journey ahead.
As night falls, we’ll ride the cable car up Namsan Mountain for panoramic views over the city skyline. Take a walk past the famous ‘padlocks of love’ at the base of Seoul N Tower – and if you fancy an even higher vantage point, you can head up to the observation deck for a full 360° view.
We’ll return via cable car and enjoy a relaxed stroll back to our accommodation in Myeongdong – ready for a full day of exploration tomorrow.
