📊 Understanding Your Results
Korean public holidays follow the Government Holidays Act. A substitute-holiday system ensures that when holidays fall on weekends, an extra weekday off is given. Seollal (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok (Mid-Autumn) each span 3 days — expect heavy traffic and higher accommodation prices during these periods.
💡 Useful Tips
- •Many restaurants and attractions close during Seollal and Chuseok. Verify operating hours in advance.
- •Combine holidays with adjacent weekends to create long breaks with minimal leave days.
- •Around Children's Day (May 5), family travel surges — book accommodation well in advance.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does the substitute holiday system work?
When a public holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, the next non-holiday weekday becomes a substitute holiday. This applies to Seollal, Chuseok, Children's Day, Buddha's Birthday, Christmas, National Foundation Day, and Hangeul Day.
Does public transport run on holidays?
Subways and city buses operate on weekend/holiday schedules with longer intervals. KTX trains run normally but sell out fast — book tickets in advance.
