How this page works
The forecast is the Korea Tourism Organization’s concentration index for each attraction, relative to that attraction’s own busiest day — compare days, not places. The page is rebuilt twice a day (around 09:15 and 21:15 Korea time) and republished only when the numbers change.
FAQ
What does the crowd number mean?
It is a relative index for that one place: 100 is the busiest day in the forecast window, 0 the quietest. A 30 at Gyeongbokgung and a 30 at a neighbourhood park are not the same number of people — compare days for a place, not places against each other.
How is the forecast made?
Korea Tourism Organization runs a machine-learning model on KT mobile-phone location data going back to 2018 and projects visitor concentration 30 days ahead for each attraction. It captures weekly rhythm, holidays and season; it cannot see a one-off event announced yesterday.
Is it better to visit palaces on a weekday?
In this window the quietest days for Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung are Gyeongbokgung Tue 12/01 and Changdeokgung Wed 12/02. Palaces close one weekday a week (Gyeongbokgung Tuesdays, Changdeokgung Mondays) — those days do not appear as "quiet", they are closed.
What about right now, not next week?
For live crowding use the "Is it busy now" pages, which read Seoul’s real-time city data every five minutes. This page is for choosing a day.
Where is the data from?
Korea Tourism Organization, "tourist attraction concentration rate forecast" (data.go.kr) — Seoul districts, 49 attractions selected, forecast fetched 2026-11-07.
