National Geographic Traveller UK  |  Jul-Aug 2026
In the July/August issue, we invite readers to explore the landscapes, cities and culture of South Korea on a unique rail trip, leaping aboard one of the world’s fastest trains. Stops along the way offer a deep dive into this diverse East Asian nation. We join the locals K-hiking in the mountains around Seoul, unearth the secrets behind a special tofu dish in Gangneung and discover the surprising history behind Busan’s most creative district. Readers can also learn which dishes to try, from bibimbap to kimchi; visit an ancient folk village; spend the night in a hanok – a traditional Korean house – and much more besides.
