Tips

If you need more time, add an extra day in Seoul to explore the Seoul Forest and take a day trip to Incheon Chinatown. To shorten the itinerary, combine the DMZ tour with the Seoul City Tour Bus and drop the Skyline Luge or Busan Yacht Tour; the core cultural sites can still be enjoyed within a tighter schedule.
