FAQs – South Korea Travel Itinerary Guide
Still not sure if my itinerary is right for you? Allow me to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about this guide:
Who is this itinerary for?
This itinerary is ideal for anyone who may feel unsure about what to do and where to visit in South Korea and what to expect, especially if you’ve never visited.
It is perfect if you’re looking for an authentic experience, want to see the most unmissable sites in South Korea, have an adventure, enjoy Korean food and culture and generally have a great time!
Can I change the order of the itinerary?
Sure! You can choose how many days you wish to visit and don’t have to strictly adhere to the itinerary. You can pick and choose which destinations, tours etc you want to experience and which ones you don’t at your discretion.
What time of year is this itinerary planned for?
Spring and autumn are generally considered to be the best times of the year to visit South Korea. Summers in South Korea can be very hot and humid (especially in Seoul), while winters can be bitterly cold with freezing temperatures.
What budget is needed for this itinerary?
I have purposely curated this itinerary for a low to medium budget – South Korea has a moderate cost of living, but this very much depends on where you visit. Seoul is considered an expensive city to visit, while Busan is cheaper.
Most of the accommodations, tours and restaurant recommendations in the itinerary are reasonably priced, but I have also included luxury options as well.
What type of physical activity is required for this itinerary?
The itinerary requires plenty of walking most days, as you’ll be exploring cities, parks, museums etc. The itinerary includes a 6km hike recommendation at Bukhansan National Park, which requires a good level of fitness.
If you don’t feel comfortable with that level of physical activity, you can choose not to do the more strenuous parts of the itinerary.
What is your refund policy?
As this itinerary is a digital product, there is no refund policy. That is why I’ve purposely made it very affordable.
