My brother Kevin and his best friend Mike visited us in Korea again, and on their second day, we explored Seoul. We started with a delicious lunch, then visited Bongeunsa Temple, which truly blew us away with its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful lanterns. Afterwards, we enjoyed affogatos at a cafe and did some shopping at a mall, finding some stunning items. We ended the day with a fantastic Korean BBQ dinner, revisiting an old favorite. It was a great day helping them adjust to the time difference and enjoy some local sights and food. — Seoul

Travel tips

Late April is a great time to visit Korea as everything is green and lush, and it's warmer.

The period around Buddha's birthday (May) is the best time to visit Buddhist temples in Korea due to the lantern displays.
