TRAVEL TIP
Korea’s autumn harvest festival (known as Cheosok, Golden Week, and Korean Thanksgiving) will fall on September 24-27 in 2026. This is an auspicious and delicious time to be in the country but you should consider the following:
Many local businesses will close on September 25 however businesses in tourist areas will largely remain open.
Make dinner reservations in advance or plan to eat at your hotel or in a tourist area on that day.
The National Folk Museum and Namsangol Hanok Village customarily offer activities during Golden Week.
Try to avoid intercity travel on the 24th and 27th.
Seoul will empty out for the weekend and you can explore this usually crowded city at a relaxed pace.
