Start a K-drama trip by choosing one region rather than trying to cover the whole country. For a day trip from Seoul, Nami Island offers a starting point: it is known as a filming location for Winter Sonata.
Getting to Nami Island
- Take the Gyeongchun Line or ITX-Cheongchun to Gapyeong Station, then arrange onward transport to the ferry pier.
- Take the ferry to the island and leave time to walk the tree-lined paths, take photos, and stop for a meal or coffee.
- Check current train and ferry schedules and admission conditions before leaving. Travel times in the original guide are estimates, not guaranteed connections.
Keep the itinerary manageable
The English guide suggests combining Seoul with a regional stop such as Gapyeong. Its sample day trip puts Nami Island in the morning and Petite France in the afternoon. Treat that as an itinerary idea, not a fixed schedule: check opening arrangements and transport before adding a second stop.
Respect the places you visit
- Save a scene on your phone and confirm the actual filming location. A place with a similar atmosphere is not necessarily where the scene was filmed.
- Keep noise down in residential streets, avoid lingering outside homes, and do not enter private property without permission.
- Follow signs and access restrictions. Weather and the season may make a location look different from the drama.
