South Korea, is Country that takes great pride in it’s history, as such little pieces of the past can be seen contrasting the the technologically advanced modern cityscapes.
I would recommend finding accommodations as you navigate and explore the country, as there are hotels and guesthouses located in almost every corner of every major city in the super developed country. If you want to visit Korea on a budget, you can definitely find accommodations in the Korean bathhouses, otherwise natively known as Jjimjilbang.
