Monday 5 October 2026 is the substitute holiday for National Foundation Day. We suggest one programme at the festival starting today in Seongsu, Seoul, or a Haeundae Beach and Dongbaekseom walk in Busan. Choose the option near your base; this is not a one-day trip connecting both cities.
Visit Jeju lists the 65th Tamna Cultural Festival for 17–21 October 2026, including Jeju Civic Welfare Town Square. This is an upcoming event, not an event already running on 5 October.
Start at Gwanghwamun. Choose one exhibition you most want to see, then arrange the palace and market around it. You do not need to visit every exhibition in one day; leave some stops for another trip to allow time inside.
This route connects forest and coastal stops in Gijang. Check each transfer separately and allow spare time. Without a car, consider focusing on the forest or the coast instead of attempting every stop in a single outing.
Combine stone culture with a forest walk. Before choosing both walking stops, consider your companions’ mobility and the weather. Arrange transport first and prepare a shorter outdoor plan in case of rain or strong winds.
Visit Jeju describes Seongsan Ilchulbong as a volcanic landform created by interaction between magma and seawater. Leave time to appreciate the landscape rather than treating the summit as the only goal.
Give two beaches time rather than collecting stops. Explore Gimnyeong, then take a bus or taxi to Woljeongri for a sea-view break. In autumn, focus on shore walks and scenery rather than swimming; shorten outdoor stops in strong wind.
Gimnyeong Beach
Compare pale sand, dark rocks and sea colors from public beach areas. Keep off wave-washed rocks.
Woljeongri Beach
Finish with a coastal stroll or choose a nearby café. This route does not propose walking the entire stretch between the beaches.

Lovely Runner · Hwahongmun and Motgol Market, Suwon
Combine the drama’s romance with everyday Suwon. Rather than stopping at the fortress, continue south along Suwoncheon to the market: a good pairing for photography and food browsing. The Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival runs October 4–11, 2026; follow local event routing.
Hwahongmun Gate
The watergate featured in Sun-jae’s confession scene. Take in the pavilion and water before heading south along Suwoncheon.
Motgol Market
Sol and her mother shopped here in the drama. Browse rice cakes and side dishes to finish the walk. Individual stalls keep different hours.

Pair lively streets with a quiet hilltop: a rewarding contrast for fans comparing animated Seoul with the real city. Explore Myeongdong first, then take public transport toward Hyehwa before walking uphill to Naksan. Bring a layer for an autumn evening.
Myeongdong Theater forecourt
The street outside the theater inspired the Soda Pop scene. Explore the facade and street; theater admission is not part of this route.
Naksan Park
The fortress-wall setting appears in Rumi and Jinu’s meetings. Enjoy the skyline from public paths. Expect slopes and stairs.

Slow down outside Seoul with a song as your starting point. Visit Iryeong, then travel to Jangheung for a meal. Jangheung is a food stop, not a filming location. Use a bus or taxi between the stops and plan your return transport.
Iryeong Station forecourt
A filming location for the 2017 Spring Day music video. Trains run here today: stay in public areas such as the forecourt and never enter the tracks.
Jangheung Korean Food Village
A cluster of restaurants for a relaxed meal. Compare menus and prices before choosing. The course photo shows this food stop.

The Attorney · Huinnyeoul and Yeongdo Bridge, Busan
Read Busan through everyday streets that recall the film. Explore Huinnyeoul, then take a bus or taxi to Yeongdo Bridge for harbor views. The bridge is a scenic extension, not a filming claim. This route excludes the lower Jeoryeong coastal trail.
Huinnyeoul Culture Village
A filming location for The Attorney (2013). Enjoy the alleys and sea while keeping doorways clear and respecting residents’ private space.
Yeongdo Bridge
Finish with harbor and city views from the pedestrian area. The route does not depend on seeing the bridge lift.

Compare royal history, contemporary art and everyday market life. A good first Seoul route for history and art lovers: choose one exhibition and shorten the stop list if time is limited.
Highlights
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Explore palace architecture and its historic spaces.
MMCA Seoul
Contemporary exhibitions offer a visual contrast to the palace.
Tongin Market
Finish with market lanes, food and everyday neighbourhood life.
