🇰🇷 Seoul Travel Guide

The Seoul Metro is the go-to for locals and tourists alike. It’s extensive, affordable, and well-signposted in English. Trains come frequently, and most stations have free Wi-Fi.

💡 Tip: Grab a T-money card at convenience stores or stations for easy tap-and-go travel across subways and buses. Don’t forget to return it for a refund when you leave!

Seoul’s bus system is extensive and color-coded:

• Yellow circle around central areas.
• Blue buses go long distances across districts.
• Green buses serve shorter, neighborhood routes.
• Red buses are for express travel to suburbs.

💡 Tip: Google Maps doesn’t work perfectly for Seoul transport, try using Naver Map or KakaoMap for the most accurate routes and timing.

Taxis are plentiful and relatively affordable, especially when splitting with friends. You can flag one down or book through Kakao T, a ride-hailing app that supports English.

💡 Tip: Not all drivers speak English. Have your destination written in Korean or use a map app to show them.

Seoul is a very walkable city, especially around popular spots like Hongdae, Insadong, or Bukchon Hanok Village. You’ll discover cool cafes, street art, and local life just by wandering.

💡 Tip: Wear comfortable shoes, many areas have hills and hidden staircases!

You can rent a public bike via an app and explore parks or riverside paths like a local. Super affordable and fun, especially along the Han River.

💡 Tip: Look out for green-and-white bikes docked around the city, and use the Seoul Bike app to unlock one.
