Trip Planning and Logistics in South Korea: what actually matters to know

Short answer
For short trips, focus on two cities like Seoul and Busan to avoid a rushed experience. Always apply for your K-ETA before booking flights and accommodation to minimize risks, and prioritize major landmarks related to history and nature for your itinerary.

From real experience

For a short trip to Korea, it's recommended to focus on two main cities, such as Seoul and Busan, rather than trying to visit too many places like Jeju, which can lead to a rushed experience.
Jeju Island itself warrants at least a week for a proper visit.

The recommended order for planning a trip to South Korea is: first apply for K-ETA, then purchase flight tickets, and then book accommodation.
This minimizes risk if K-ETA is denied. Provisional dates and accommodation details can be entered in the K-ETA application and updated later before travel. K-ETA is valid for 3 years.
