Bridge day check

Falls on a Thursday. Book the Friday off and you get a four-day weekend — the classic bridge day.

Book off 17 Sep 2027 for 4 days off.

What the day is for

The autumn harvest festival and the biggest family gathering of the year: ancestral rites, songpyeon rice cakes, and a mass return to hometowns over three days.

Do shops and banks close?

Most offices, banks and small businesses close for the full stretch; department stores shut on the main day.

Getting around

The heaviest travel period in Korea — expressways run at a crawl and KTX seats sell out weeks ahead.
