South Korea travel itinerary in September

hi there I’m planning a trip in September—here’s my rough itinerary. What do you think? Is it easy to rent a car to get around between my stops? Thanks so much!

Hi Philippe,

If I understand correctly, the itinerary is Seoul / Gurye for Jirisan Park / Suncheon / Namhae / Gyeongju / Seoul. How much time are you planning, and how will you split it between each stop? First trip to South Korea?

No problem with renting a car—I’ve traveled all these places that way. Obviously, in Seoul, it’s subway and bus 😊, especially since the traffic jams are pretty bad.

The one must-have for renting a car is an international driver’s permit. And watch out for processing times—they can take several months.
