What are the Korean national holidays?
The two biggest holidays of the year are Sollal (New Year) and Chuseok (Thanksgiving). During these times it can be difficult to travel out of the country unless you make your arrangements well in advance as it is the peak time. Usually during these two big holidays Koreans travel to their hometowns. This makes road travel quite difficult as traffic jams can last for hours. The best way to travel during these holidays is by train. However, make your reservations early as train tickets go fast.
There are several other holidays throughout the year including Independence Day, Constitution Day, Children’s Day and Memorial Day. North American holidays like Christmas and New Years are also celebrated. You will receive these holidays off throughout the year.
