How to use these itineraries
Each plan assumes you arrive at Incheon International Airport (ICN), Gimpo (GMP), or Gimhae Airport in Busan (PUS) and travel via KTX high-speed rail, subway, and express bus. 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 KORAIL Pass value helper with your final route to decide whether a rail pass makes sense.
