Arrive in South Korea and transfer towards Seoul for check-in at your selected accommodation.

The first day is intentionally relaxed, allowing you to settle in after your international journey. Depending on your arrival time, enjoy a gentle introduction to the surrounding neighbourhood, a Korean dinner or some personal time at the hotel.

Overnight: Seoul

Begin your introduction to Seoul's beauty culture with a relaxed exploration of the city's contemporary lifestyle.

Visit a beauty-focused shopping district such as Myeong-dong, well known for cosmetics, skincare brands, fashion and retail experiences. Take time to browse Korean beauty products and discover the range of brands and beauty concepts available to international visitors.

The afternoon can remain flexible for personal shopping, café time or relaxation.

Overnight: Seoul

Today brings together traditional Korean culture and personal wellbeing.

Explore one of Seoul's historic areas, with the opportunity to experience traditional architecture, cultural streets and, where desired, a hanbok experience. Seoul is particularly distinctive for placing historic palaces and traditional neighbourhoods alongside modern commercial districts.

Continue with a wellness-oriented experience or personal relaxation time. Depending on the final arrangement, this may include a spa, traditional Korean wellness activity or another suitable leisure experience.

Overnight: Seoul

Today is reserved for the beauty and aesthetic focus of the journey.

Travellers may choose to explore suitable beauty-related services, consultations or wellness experiences according to their interests and the final package arrangement. Services are subject to availability and should always be discussed directly with qualified professionals before any decision is made.

For travellers who prefer a non-clinical experience, the day can instead focus on Korean beauty shopping, personal styling, skincare discovery, cafés and leisure.

The emphasis is on personal choice rather than a fixed treatment schedule.

Overnight: Seoul

Enjoy a slower-paced day exploring another side of Seoul.

Depending on your interests, the day may include neighbourhood exploration, shopping, cultural attractions, cafés, contemporary Korean design, local cuisine or simply time to relax.

Travellers interested in fashion and modern Korean culture may enjoy exploring districts such as Seongsu, while those looking for a more traditional atmosphere can spend time around Insadong and Bukchon.

The evening is free for dining or personal activities.

Overnight: Seoul

Your final full day provides another opportunity to focus on wellbeing and personal interests.

Enjoy a wellness experience, spa-style relaxation or a leisurely day designed around your preferred pace. Alternatively, use the time for final beauty shopping and souvenirs.

Seoul's combination of sophisticated shopping, accessible public transportation, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions makes it easy to create a flexible final day.

Overnight: Seoul

Enjoy breakfast and your final morning in Seoul.

Depending on your departure schedule, there may be time for a final walk, coffee or shopping before transferring to the airport.

Best Time to Visit South Korea

Spring and autumn are particularly attractive for travellers who want comfortable conditions for sightseeing and walking. Korea's spring season generally runs from March to May, while autumn is from September to November. Summer can be warm and humid, while winter brings colder conditions and opportunities to experience a different side of Korea.

For a beauty and wellness journey, spring and autumn can be especially appealing because the moderate conditions make it easier to combine outdoor sightseeing with indoor wellness and shopping experiences.

Visa & Passport Requirements

Entry requirements depend on your nationality, passport and purpose of travel. Travellers should check the latest requirements before departure.

For eligible visa-free travellers, South Korea's K-ETA system applies to relevant nationalities. The Korean authorities have extended a temporary K-ETA exemption for the countries/regions currently covered until 31 December 2026, but eligibility must be checked according to the traveller's nationality and current rules.

If a visa is required, applications and supporting documents should be arranged well before departure. The official Korea Visa Portal provides current visa information.

Currency

The local currency is the South Korean won (KRW). Currency exchange facilities are available at major airports and elsewhere in Seoul.

Language

Korean is the official language. English is used in many tourist-facing businesses, hotels, transport facilities and major visitor areas.

Local Transportation

Seoul has an extensive public transportation network, including subway lines, buses and taxis. The AREX airport railway connects Incheon International Airport with Seoul Station, with the express service taking approximately 43 minutes.

Transportation cards such as T-money can make travelling around Seoul more convenient and can also be used at participating retailers.

What to Pack

Pack according to the season and include:

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Weather-appropriate clothing
• Personal skincare products
• Light layers for changing temperatures
• Travel adapter suitable for South Korea
• Prescription medication, if applicable
• Passport and required travel documents
• A small day bag for sightseeing and shopping

Travellers planning any aesthetic or medical service should also discuss practical preparation and aftercare requirements directly with the relevant qualified professional.
