Honestly
Things most travel sites won't tell you.
On-the-ground details your designer wishes every guest knew before they landed.
Things to Look Out For
The DMZ is booked, not walked-up
The Demilitarised Zone. The border with the North, the tunnels, the observatory looking across. Can only be visited on an organised tour with passports lodged in advance, and the JSA at Panmunjom in particular needs days of lead time and can close at short notice for diplomatic reasons. Book it before you arrive, not the night before, and bring the actual passport.
The banchan keep coming
Order one main in a Korean restaurant and a constellation of little side dishes. Banchan. Arrives free, refilled without asking: kimchi, pickles, sprouts, egg. It is not an extra to pay for; it is how the meal works. Korean barbecue you cook yourself at the table, and the staff will help if you hover.
The T-money card and the KTX
Buy a rechargeable T-money card from any convenience store the moment you land. It works on Seoul's superb metro and buses and saves fiddling with tickets. For the longer hops, the KTX bullet train links Seoul to Busan in under three hours. Korea's public transport is fast, clean and English-signed; you rarely need a taxi.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
Korea's two best seasons are spring and autumn. April to June brings the cherry blossom and mild, clear days; September to November is the famous autumn foliage, crisp and dry. The two windows worth planning around. July and August are hot, humid and wet, with a monsoon stretch and the odd typhoon. Winter, December to February, is cold and dry, good for the ski resorts and quieter cities but bitter in the wind.
