Seoul Transportation Tips by muratkorman

Walk and discover Seoul Walking Review

I have been repeating that Seoul is a very tourist friendly city. The reason is quite obvious. Although you may be a total stranger to this beautiful city, you can find directions quite easily. One of my favorites is the location signs which are put everywhere. Just a take a look at them and you will know where you are and the close attractions. It is very difficult to get lost in Seoul thanks to these signs and walking has never been easier.

Best way to reach city from Incheon Airport

AREX train will get you from Incheon Airport to Gimpo Airport where you can connect to metro and reach city. Compared to other transport options such as taxi or shuttle bus, this is the cheapest way and the total time will be around 70 to 80 minutes depending on your last metro stop. AREX train costs 3400 W per person. While you get your ticket, you can also indicate your destination and that can be included in the ticket you purchase. This will be an additional 900-1100 W to the cost. In total cost per person will be about 4300-4500 W while a taxi would cost around 45000 W and shuttle buses would cost from 9000 W to 14000 W. For budget travellers, this is the best option.

Seoul Citypass+

If you plan to stay at least a few days in Seoul and travel by metro and bus, Seoul Citypass+ will be needed. With this card, you can travel and shop in Seoul easily. It's a touch and go system so it helps to avoid the hassle of getting tickets each time you travel. Also you can do shopping and pay with your card. Seoul Citypass+ can be purchased at any metro station from automated machines. You can also put credit to your card from these machines. The card comes with some discount coupons and these could be useful while you visit some museums or restaurants. If you want unlimited rides for 1, 2 or 3 days, try Seoul Citypass. But of course this type of card is more costly. As you can easily walk around Seoul, I don't suggest paying a lot for unlimited rides.
