Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider adding a day trip to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), an action-packed day at Everland Theme Park, or exploring the bustling nightlife of Gangnam. If you have less time, consider removing the Trick Eye Museum, Jeju Island, and Hyeopjae Beach from your itinerary. Alternatively, opt for a shorter stay in Jeju Island to save time and money.
