Itineraries in Korea
Day-by-day plans you can load into the planner.
These itineraries are built around how Korea actually works: palaces that close on a set weekday, a Bukchon village that is only open to visitors in the daytime, markets that shut on Sundays and tickets that sell out days in advance.
Each plan groups nearby sights so you spend your time seeing places rather than crossing the city, and lists opening hours, closing days, prices and the nearest subway exits. You can load the Seoul plans into Plan My Days, rearrange the stops and share the result with your travel companions.
Short on time? Start with three days in Seoul. With five days you can add the Secret Garden and Gangnam, and with a week you can take the KTX to Busan. Day trips to the DMZ, Suwon and Nami Island fit into any of them.
