Short, practical answers to questions readers send us about traveling in Korea. Notes are narrower than our articles — one question, one answer — and each one stands on its own.

• Haemi Without a Car — The Fortress at Dawn, the Shrine on Foot
  Sep 2026 — The Seosan city bus timetable in English, first bus 06:10. But the fortress and the martyrs' shrine are a 21-minute walk apart, so for most of the day you will not need a bus.
• Seoul After Dark — What a Catholic Pilgrim Can Do at Night
  Sep 2026 — The martyrs' shrines all close around five. What stays open at night is the churches — and the nearest palace is also the one open latest.
• Baeron Shrine by City Bus — The 852 from Jecheon Station
  Sep 2026 — Yes, there is a public bus. It runs three times a day, it does not stop at the train station, and the hard part is getting back.
• Opening Hours for Korea's Catholic Shrines — Seoul, Jecheon and Jeju
  Sep 2026 — Opening hours, Mass times and closing days in English. Almost every shrine museum in Seoul closes on Monday.
• Two Nights on Jeju Without a Car — One Shrine, One Wonder
  Sep 2026 — The cheap flights land at night and leave in the morning. With one night you get no daylight; with two you get one whole day.
• Baeron and Baeti Without a Car: A Public Transport Guide
  Sep 2026 — There is no bus between the two shrines, and the easier one to reach without a car is not the one most guides suggest.
