Prague, Zurich, Istanbul and Madrid are all very popular tourist destinations loved by Koreans for their rich history and culture.
Prague, one of the most popular travel destinations in Eastern Europe, is home to many UNESCO world heritage sites, where travelers can experience medieval times at the historic towns and villages.
Zurich is Switzerland’s largest city and serves as a gateway and hub to the Swiss Alps. The prominent peaks that represent Switzerland - Matterhorn, Jungfrau, Schilthorn, and Mont Blanc - attract millions of travelers across the world for their dramatic scenery.
Turkiye, the popular travel destination connecting Europe and Asia, is known for many famous tourist and vacation spots, including Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, and Antalya. Following non-scheduled flights once a week last year, the airline will resume its regular flights to accommodate increasing travel demand to Turkiye.
Madrid is considered to be one of the symbolic tourist cities with options such as a day trip to Toledo, the hometown of Don Quixote, and a tour of the prestigious soccer club Real Madrid stadium. Korean Air also resumed its operations to Barcelona last year.
Korean Air will continue to resume suspended routes and increase frequencies as travel demand increases.
