Cirque du Soleil in Korea has a website - - with English Ticket information on hand; however, to purchase tickets you must call the box office directly at 02-541-3150. There is an email reservation option, but it requires your credit card information to be sent via an unsecured email. For your financial security we do not recommend this option; however, we do suggest you secure tickets (or a seat reservation) before leaving for Japan. { Return to Top }
We leave Tokyo bound for Seoul on a 9:20am Korean Air flight, arriving in Seoul by Noon on Sunday, November 16th. From there we'll check into our accommodations and hit the town to see a few sights. { Return to Top }
Keeping with a true traveler's spirit we've opted for a backpacker's guest house near central Seoul - LEE & NO. Lee & No is run by a family who are also long-time travelers and they have graciously opened their residence to us for the night and other visitors over the years. { Return to Top }
Because our time in Seoul, South Korea is short, special activities with the group and/or Cirque du Soleil have not been planned; however, anything can happen spontaneously so you never know! { Return to Top }

U.S. passport holders may enter the Republic of Korea without a visa for a stay of up to 30 days for tourism or transit to another country. When staying for more than 30 days or for any purpose other than tourism or transit, the U.S. passport holder must obtain a visa prior to entry. Generally, individuals staying in Korea for longer than 90 days must apply for an Alien Registration Card. Individuals who plan to stay longer than the period authorized must apply to Korean Immigration for an extension in advance. Individuals who stay in Korea longer than the period authorized by Korean Immigration are subject to fines and may be required to pay the fines before departing the country. Changes of status from one type of visa to another (from tourism to teaching, for example) are normally not granted in the Republic of Korea and must be obtained at a Korean embassy or consulate in another country after departing Korea. {Source: US Travel Website} { Return to Top } |
