Helpful Tips for Travelers

Use a T-money Card for seamless payments on subways, buses, and even taxis.

Download Naver Maps or Kakao Maps—Google Maps has limited navigation in South Korea.

Avoid rush hours (7:30–9:30 AM & 6:00–8:00 PM) if taking public transport.

Look for English signs—Seoul’s transport system is tourist-friendly with announcements in English, Chinese, and Japanese.
