Briefings, local updates and events to help you plan your trip.
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.
Gunsan Time Travel Festival 2026 is scheduled for 2–5 October. TourAPI lists the former city-hall square and Time Travel Village area, overall hours 10:00–21:00, and free basic admission with some paid activities. Today is its scheduled final day.
Busan Sea Library at Dadaepo Beach Park is scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays, 15:00–21:00, between 19 September and 11 October 2026. Its final planned weekend is 10–11 October; Monday 5 October is outside that schedule.
Creative X Seongsu 2026 is scheduled for 5–11 October. TourAPI lists S-Factory as an event venue; individual places, times and fees vary. For a visit today, choose one programme first.
We compared Korea Tourism Organization TourAPI with Dongnae’s schedule. The 32nd Dongnae Eupseong History Festival is planned for 16–18 October 2026 around Dongnae Cultural Centre and the fortress north gate. Today, 5 October, is not an event day.
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.
The official Seoul tourism listing schedules Taste of Seoul 2026 for 23–29 October at DDP and locations across Seoul. It has not started as of 5 October.
The festival takes place at four royal palaces and Jongmyo Shrine. It has not started today; check which individual programmes require advance booking.
Visit Busan presents Haeundae Beach together with nearby Dongbaekseom. A walk within one district can be a useful starting point for a coast-focused visit.
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.
Seoul’s official guided-walk catalogue includes Gyeongbokgung, Deoksugung, Bukchon, Seochon and Cheonggyecheon. Choose the history or streetscape you most want to explore rather than collecting every stop.
