 Jeju Travel Tips:
  •  Don't worry if you have not booked the hotel yet, unless you want to stay in one of the luxurious ones such as the Hyatt. There are plenty of rooms available, even during the high season.
  • Make sure to pick up a map from Tourist Information at the airport. It will prove itself invaluable during your trip to Jeju Island!
  • If you are using the public transport to get around the island, it is not convenient. So if possible, rent a bicycle, scooter or car and use the "coastal road." It's beautiful!

#2 Busan : The Most Popular Beach Spot in Korea

Busan Travel Tips:
  • Haeundae is outrageously popular and crowded but the other beaches in the area are just as nice.
  • Check out the Busan Shark Dive while you're in Busan. It's an experience to remember!
  • You can take the KTX (bullet train) which is fast, and surprisingly cheap. Then, make sure to buy your tickets at least a few days in advance if you plan on traveling during the weekend.
  • Wondering where to stay in Busan?Seomyeon! It's very central and makes a nice base from which to explore. Plus, it's at the intersection of the 2 major subway lines, so you'll never have to worry about getting somewhere quickly, cheaply and conveniently besides having sufficient facilities.


#3 Gongju and Buyeo: Ancient Capitals of the Baekje Dynasty

The former capitals of the Baekje Kingdom, Buyeo and Gongju are tucked away in the heart of Chungnam provinces. They are filled with cultural and historical relics from 2000 years ago. Tombs, fortresses, and temples can be found at every corner. The best way to see the sights would be by car, so either rent one or get a Korean friend to take you.

 Gongju + Buyeo Travel Tips: 
  • These places are best explored on bicycle, motorcycle or by car. Beg, borrow or steal! Or, rent a taxi for the day to take you to the sights.
  • If you have own transport, it's entirely possible to see both these places in one day. If not, choose one and have a relaxing trip.


#4 Seoraksan National Park: Beautiful Fall Colors

Seoraksan Travel Tips:
  • Rent a car and travel during off-peak hours (leave at 5am!) if you're coming from Seoul. You'll hit lots of traffic if you leave on Saturday morning at 10am.
  • As with the busy roads at peak times, the mountain gets crowded too. Try to hit it away from the prime-time weekends because it is not ideal to experience a line-up when you're hiking.
  • If you go hiking, especially in spring/summer/fall wake up early (with the sunrise). It will be much cooler and you won't be climbing in the middle of the day.


#5 Nami Island

 Located 63 km away from Seoul, Nami Island is famous for its beautiful Korean pine tree lands and the shooting location for Korean drama, Winter Sonata. No trip to Seoul would be complete without a visit to Nami Island.

 Namiseom Island Tips:

  • It is recommended to tour the island in an ultra slow pace to kill time if you are taking the 4 pm shuttle bus back to Seoul.
  • Traveling by bus is definitely an ideal mode of transportation but I guess it’s more adventurous to travel by train.
