This day and age it's all about the perfect picture. And you're in luck because South Korea has some of the most aesthetic tourist spots that'll be the perfect backdrop for that "Instagram-worthy" photo.
1. Namsan Tower: You can't forget the most iconic trademark in all of Seoul, the Namsan Tower. Particularly if you go at night you'll get the entire cityscape within your picture and with the city lights twinkling beneath, it'll feel like you're among the stars.
2. Gamcheon Culture Village: This vibrant village in Busan can add a pop of color to your pictures. Known for its cluster of neatly arranged multi-coloured houses, Gamcheon Culture Village is truly a unique spot for photographs that stand out.
3. Arc-N-Book: A haven for bibliophiles, this extraordinary bookstore is a hidden gem. While the massive Starfield Library in COEX Mall often claims the spotlight, Arc-N-Book offers an exceptionally enchanting backdrop. The sweeping arches interspersed amidst the bookshelves create an illusion-like photo structure.
4. Seokchon Lake: If you're all about the florals, then take a stop by Seokchon Lake. Especially popular among locals as the spot to be when spring arrives, Seokchon Lake is where you'll get wonderful photos of all the cherry blossoms. Your photo will look like it's straight out of a K-drama scene.
5. Jeonju Hanok Village: While many tourists visit Bukchon Village to capture the traditional houses of Korea, Jeonju Hanok Village offers a slice of old-world charm with a subtle difference in architecture.
6. Secret Garden: This garden, nestled within Changdeokgung Palace, was once a haven for the Korean royal family. The UNESCO World Heritage site is another excellent spot for photography enthusiasts, offering a unique blend of nature and heritage.
7. Dae O Bookstore: This secondhand bookstore and café gained fame after BTS member RM took a snapshot here. It's now a tourist hotspot, especially among fans of the popular band.
8. Damyang: Known for its expansive bamboo forest, Damyang epitomizes serene beauty. With eight different trails traversing through lush greenery, it offers diverse, tranquil backdrops perfect for capturing the peace and tranquility that nature embodies.
The beauty of South Korea lies in its diverse landscapes, the ability to conjure up aesthetically pleasing panoramas at seemingly every corner. No matter where you are, you are almost bound to find an exceptional photo opportunity just around the corner!
