- Days 1-3
  Seoul
  Begin your journey in South Korea's dynamic capital. Get to the Gyeongbokgung Palace by 9:30 AM to watch the guard changing ceremony at 10 AM. Visit Insadong Street in the afternoon when it's quieter to enjoy the traditional teahouses. For the DMZ tour, remember your passport and avoid ripped jeans or sleeveless tops. Visit Bukchon Hanok Village early morning before 11 AM to avoid crowds and get better photos.
- Days 4-5
  Sokcho & Seoraksan
  Take the 2.5-hour bus from Seoul to Sokcho. The Mt. Seorak cable car operates every 15-30 minutes. Book tickets online to avoid long peak season lines. Pack sturdy shoes and water for the Gwongeumseong Fortress hike. Stop by Sokcho Fish Market around 4 PM when boats bring in fresh catches.
- Days 6-7
  Gyeongju
  Gyeongju is often called "the museum without walls." Visit the Daereungwon tomb complex right at 9 AM opening to avoid tour groups. Take the hourly shuttle bus from Gyeongju Station to Bulguksa Temple. Visit Anapji Pond between 6-7 PM for beautiful sunset views.
- Days 8-10
  Busan
  South Korea's second-largest city offers stunning coastal scenery. Get a map from the Gamcheon Cultural Village information center to navigate the colorful hillside streets. Check out Jagalchi Fish Market in the morning when it's most active. Go up Busan Tower before sunset for the best city views.
- Days 11-13
  Jeju Island
  Take a 1-hour flight from Busan to Jeju. A rental car works best since public transport is limited. Plan for a 5 AM summer start to catch sunrise at Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. Visit O'Sulloc Tea Museum after 3 PM to avoid tour bus crowds. Check tide schedules for Jusangjeolli Cliff to see the basalt formations at their best.
- Days 14-15

- Days 1-3
  Seoul
  Begin your South Korean journey in the capital. Check into your hotel and head to Gangnam district to get oriented. Spend the next two days exploring Gyeongbokgung Palace (arrive before 9 AM to beat the tour buses) and make your own lunch box at Tongin Market. Walk through Insadong district's art galleries and teahouses - you'll cover about 4-5 miles so wear good shoes. A good tip: Use the subway between 10 AM and 4 PM to avoid rush hour crowds.
- Days 4-5
  DMZ & Sokcho
  Book a DMZ tour at least 3 days ahead - bring your passport and dress conservatively. Next, travel to coastal Sokcho (3 hours by car) where you can enjoy fresh grilled fish. Visit Abai Village to learn about its North Korean refugee heritage. Stop by the harbor market for squid sundae, a local stuffed squid dish you won't find in other regions.
- Days 6-7

  Start early at 5 AM for a temple stay at Woljeongsa. Take the Seoraksan cable car for stunning mountain views - book tickets online to skip the long lines. Your second day includes a hands-on bibimbap cooking class. Wear clothes that can get dirty.
- Days 8-11
  Coastal & Rural Korea
  Visit Taean National Park's coastline and experience a traditional Korean bathhouse at the Red Ginseng Spa in Jinan (pack your toiletries). In Damyang, watch bamboo harvesters work in Juknokwon Park during early morning hours. Visit the Boseong tea fields at sunrise for the best photos.
- Days 12-13
  Busan
  Spend two full days in this energetic port city. Start at Jagalchi Fish Market between 5-7 AM to watch the morning seafood auction. Take a bus to Gamcheon Cultural Village and prepare for steep hills - bring water and sun protection. A recent visitor shared: "The best views of Gamcheon's painted houses are from the upper platform near the community center. Go before sunset when the colors really pop."
- Days 14-15
  Seoul & Departure
  Return to Seoul on the KTX bullet train (2.5 hours - stick with economy class). Use your last day exploring Myeongdong's street food stalls which open after 4 PM. Leave extra time for your airport transfer since Seoul traffic can be unpredictable.
