Tips
If you have extra time, add a day to explore the southern region’s Cheonjiyeon Waterfall and the quirky Teddy Bear Museum. For a shorter trip, condense Day 2 and Day 3 by selecting either the east‑coast highlights or the southern attractions, and use a rental car to reduce travel time between sites.
