This relaxed five-day, four-night trip combines gardens, lake views, a hanok accommodation experience and the East Sea coast, with hot springs, barbecue, coffee and mountain views along the way. The early morning views of Nami Island, Pocheon Rock Wall and Jeongdongjin Sea View each have their own appeal, so take time to enjoy every stop.
Ms Karyl's firsthand tips
Firsthand Experience
This five-day, four-night itinerary is for guests who want to avoid rushed schedules and crowds, and simply enjoy the journey.
Recommended by Ms Karyl
It suits guests who value experiences and a comfortable pace for their stays more than the number of attractions they visit. These 14 locations are my recommended route options; you do not need to visit them all. Accommodation, activities and restaurants can be adjusted to the season and the needs of your travel companions.
Planning notes
Open-air bathing is offered in autumn and winter; confirm the opening dates and make a reservation before departure. Mountain slides are suspended in rainy weather. Confirm winter operation and age and height requirements before riding. The Hanok bonfire may be canceled if it rains; check the hotel pool opening hours and access conditions for the room type you book.
