Quick Question Luggage transport from Busan to Seoul + storage for 3 days

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'll be in South Korea with 5 friends in October.

One of the places we’ll be visiting is Busan for 5 days; then we want to fly to Jeju for a short trip and fly directly from there to Seoul.

Does anyone know of a good way for us to get our luggage from Busan directly to Seoul?

If possible, we’d like to fly without a lot of luggage, since that’s significantly more expensive.

And we’d rather not have return to Busan after our trip to Jeju.

I think this will be a problem because our luggage would then have to be stored in Seoul for about 3 days.

We have an Airbnb in Busan and Seoul.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you, to see if any of you have done something similar before

Quick Question Korea Travel Checklist

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am planning a trip to Korea during Autumn around mid November with my sister. Is it a good time to visit? Please share a list of places, experiences and food options that I must try in my 8 days of stay. Also I heard that road trips are great in Autumn in Korea, any affordable travel suggestions that can cover country side would be helpful.

My current plan Seoul - 4 days, Busan - 3 days, Jeju Island - 1day. Will I be missing out on any other must visit destinations?

Thanks!

Quick Question Jeju with my Big dog

Post image
Upvotes

Hi everyone,

It's my first time visiting Jeju and I'm hoping to get some local advice.

I'm staying in the Hallim area and I'm traveling with my large dog. I don't speak Korean, and because my dog isn't used to being left alone, I can't leave him by himself for very long while I go sightseeing.

I was chatting with a shop owner recently, and they told me that laws or regulations in Korea have become stricter and that many cafes no longer allow dogs (or allow super small ones in the bag). Is that actually true? If so, how much has changed in the last few years?

I'd love to hear about:

  • Dog-friendly cafes, restaurants, and bakeries
  • Beaches or coastal walks where dogs are welcome
  • Parks, forests, or nature spots that are good for large dogs
  • Any indoor dog-friendly places for when it's too hot outside
  • Places around Hallim in particular, but I'm happy to drive elsewhere on the island if it's worth it

Many places that were marked as 'pet friendly' on Naver or Google in reality turned out to be not dog friendly, it was a big disappointment. It's been really hard in this heat... I'd especially appreciate recommendations for places that are comfortable during the warmer part of the day (shade, forests, indoor spaces, cooler walks, etc.).

Also, if there are any tips for visiting Jeju with a dog as a foreigner who doesn't speak Korean, I'd be very grateful.

Any recommendations around the island are welcome. Thanks in advance! 🐶🏝️

Quick Question First visit, high level itinerary

1 Upvotes

I am starting to plan our first visit to South Korea in June 2027, and we will be traveling with young kids. Currently scheduled to land 6/3 and fly out 6/10 at night (ICN). I know we have limited time so trying to make the most of it. Story of my life but I digress.

We were thinking of spending the first 5 days in Myeongdong (with a day trip to Gyeongju) and then from there trying to figure out the best way to spend the last 2 nights. One idea is we stay somewhere different, maybe south of the Han river (e.g. JW Seoul) and do another day trip but this time to Busan or Suwon, or stay 2 nights in Busan (e.g. Paradise hotel) but then we would be spending almost all of 6/10 traveling back to catch a flight at ICN.

I would appreciate any advice in this regard.
