Four decisions before booking
Choose a base by the final connection
Check the walk from the actual station exit to your accommodation, including luggage handling. On a late arrival day, plan dinner and rest near your hotel.
Separate airport and intercity transport
Write down your arrival terminal and accommodation location first. Use the airport rail information and KORAIL booking channel to check your travel date. Leave time for immigration and baggage before a train departure.
Anchor each day with one or two priorities
Schedule places with reservations or last-entry times first. Add markets and cafés around them. Keep an indoor alternative in the same area for wet weather.
Keep Korean names with your sources
Save the Korean name and address to distinguish similarly named places. Check the information date on each place page and the operator’s current notices before relying on hours or prices.
