South Korea itineraries

Day-by-day routes you can copy or adapt — from a one-week first trip to a two-week classic loop, plus family-friendly and budget versions.

How to use these itineraries

Each plan assumes you arrive at Seoul (Narita or Haneda) or Jeju Island (Kansai) and uses public transport. Travel days are deliberately light. If you're short on time, cut a base rather than squeezing in more stops — changing hotels costs half a day each time. Use our Rail Pass value helper with your final route to decide whether a rail pass makes sense.
