Local Tips
Practical tips to make your Seoul trip more enjoyable
Get a T-money Card
Purchase a T-money card at convenience stores (CU, GS25, Seven-Eleven). It works on both subway and bus with discounts. The card costs 2,500 won and can be recharged as needed. You can recharge at convenience stores or subway station machines, and remaining balance can be refunded.
Subway is Fastest
Seoul traffic can be terrible. In most cases, the subway is much faster and more reliable than taxis or buses. Seoul subway has 23 lines with convenient transfers. Rush hours (7-9 AM, 6-8 PM) are extremely crowded, so avoid if possible. Last trains run between midnight and 1 AM.
Use Taxi Apps
Download Kakao T app for convenient taxi booking. Available in English and accepts credit cards. Regular taxi base fare starts at 4,800 won, with surcharge during late night (midnight-4 AM). Deluxe taxis (black) at airports and major tourist spots offer safer and more comfortable rides.
Airport to City Transfer
AREX (Airport Railroad Express) is most convenient from Incheon Airport to Seoul. Express train takes 43 minutes with transfers to major areas like Myeongdong, Hongdae, Gangnam. Airport limousine buses run to major hotels and areas with spacious comfortable seats. For late night or heavy luggage, taxis are good option (about 60,000-80,000 won).
