Top places to visit

1. Seongsan Ilchulbong

There is a reason why the locals call Seongsan Ilchulbong ’Sunrise Peak’, as this is offers one of the best places on the island to welcome in the day. Thanks to its incredible position, the views are fairly fantastic at any hour. And despite the stunning vistas, it is only a short walk to the top of the peak, where you have the chance to look inside a vast volcanic crater – another good reason for making the journey.

5. Jeju Teddy Bear Museum

Whether or not you are a fan of the iconic toy bear, the Teddy Bear Museum is definitely worth a visit, as it has taken a rather unusual approach to exploring the heritage of the teddy bear. As well as some particularly fine examples of great teddies – including giant versions and some which are more than a century old – and displays explaining how teddy bears have evolved, there are also some interesting 'real bear' displays. For example you can see what historical figures such as Elvis Presley would have looked like as a bear, as well as some bear re-enactments of historical events.
