About

Day One Korea builds half-day and full-day travel courses, focused on Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The same courses are published in Korean and English.

Why this exists

There is no shortage of travel information about Korea. What is hard to find is not which places are good, but which order to visit them in and how to get between them. Lists of attractions are everywhere; the number of minutes between two of them, and which subway exit to use, usually are not.

So this site publishes courses rather than lists. Each one states the travel time between stops, the mode of transport, and the exit number or transfer you need. That is the part we are trying to do better than other sites.

What we publish, and what we don't

• A day course holds three or four stops at most. More than that and you cannot actually do it.
• No cafés or restaurants. They close and change too often for us to keep accurate.
• No admission prices or opening hours. They change often, and a wrong number is worse than none — we link to each venue's official site instead.
• If a course is awkward to reach by public transport, we say so.

Where the information comes from

• Coordinates: measured values from Naver's local search.
• Operating details: each venue's official website is the primary source.
• Photos: only public domain, CC0 and CC BY-family images from Wikimedia Commons, credited with author and licence at the foot of each course page.

Who runs it

This is an individually run site. Courses and places are added continuously. If you spot something wrong, tell us and we will check and fix it.
