Before travelling around Korea with a pet, check two different questions: is the animal allowed at that venue, and what conduct is expected on site? The Korea Tourism Organization's pet-travel advice emphasizes keeping animals under control, cleaning up waste promptly and considering other people in crowds, lifts and shared spaces.
(1) Paths and attractions: keep the leash secure, avoid blocking walkways and follow site-specific signs. (2) Elevators and shared indoor areas: keep your pet close and give others space; follow any building rules on carrying animals or using a carrier. (3) Cafés, restaurants and lodging: a 'pet-friendly' label does not guarantee admission to every room or seating area. Ask about indoor versus terrace access, size/number limits and extra fees before booking. (4) Trains, subways and buses: carrier requirements and eligibility depend on the operator and service, so consult their current rules before departure.
