About this itinerary
Jeju is known for its markets and long-running local eateries, which makes it a great city to eat your way through on foot. This itinerary centers on places like Jeju City Folk Five-Day Market (2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd, 27th), Seomun Public Market, Boseong Market, and every meal is a short walk from the stop before it.
From Gimpo Airport it takes about 1 hr 5 min by a domestic flight. Anything within about 20 minutes on foot, you walk.
You stay all 2 nights near Eoyeong Park and start every day from the same place — no repacking.
Day 1: Jeju City Folk Five-Day Market (2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd, 27th), Seomun Public Market, Boseong Market, Hallasan Arboretum. Lunch at Woojin Haejangguk, dinner at Podowon Heukdwaeji.
Day 2: Jeju Jeolmul Recreational Forest, Jangsengs Forest Trail, Ecoland Theme Park, Sangumburi Crater, Seon-nyeo and Woodcutter. Lunch at Jayeon-gwa Saramdeul Milmyeon, dinner at Seonheul Bangju Halmeoni Sikdang.
Day 3: Nylon Bookstore, Dongmun Traditional Market, Jeju Sungji, Ohyeon Platform, Seobu Du Susan Market. Lunch at Dongmun Olle Fisheries Dongmun Market Main Branch. Then head back to Gimpo Airport.
Some market stalls close by late afternoon, so earlier is better. Go a little hungry and share small plates at several places.
Times in this plan are worked out from the distance between stops and how long you stay at each one. Feel free to drop a stop or two for a slower pace. Every stop has location and directions buttons that open the map directly.

FAQ
QHow much does a 3-day trip to Jeju cost?
For this itinerary, budget about ₩514,000 per person (sharing a double room). On a tight budget it's around ₩328,000; for a more comfortable trip, about ₩823,000. That covers hotel, meals, admission and transport within Korea (flights not included). See the budget table above for the breakdown.
QHow do I get to Jeju?
Fly from Gimpo Airport — about 1 hr 5 min. Day 1 starts at Jeju Airport, where a taxi tour driver picks you up, and the last day ends back at the airport. Flights are not included in the budget.
QHow do I get around Jeju?
By taxi tour — a hired car with a driver for the day, picking you up at the airport or hotel (9 rides in this plan). Short hops under about 20 minutes are on foot. Many foreign licences can't rent a car here, so a taxi tour is the easiest option.
QDo I need cash in Jeju?
Most restaurants and shops take cards, including many foreign cards, but some market stalls are cash-only, so carry a little cash. For buses and subways, a T-money transit card (sold at convenience stores) is the easiest.
