Transportation

We listed transportation methods for popular destinations below. We recommend using Kakao Map over Google Maps while in Korea to get accurate directions (the mobile application Kakao Map has an interface in English).

To/From Incheon International Airport

International Taxis: International taxis can take you to any location in Seoul for a flat fare based on your destination (no meter charge). For best service, this service needs to be booked ahead of time at intltaxi.co.kr. Standard, luxury, and large taxis are available. Drivers speak English. This service is only reserved to foreigners and has the best price and convenience if you are traveling with one or several companions.

Airport Railroad (AREX): The Airport Railroad (AREX) service has express and all-stop trains between Incheon International Airport and Seoul Station. Express train tickets can be purchased on ticket machines prior to boarding the train. All-stop trains use a regular transportation card (T-Money) that can be purchased at convenience stores (a convenience store is located in the arrival area of the airport). More information at arex.or.kr. This is the fastest mode of transportation but can be less convenient than other methods if your hotel is far from Seoul Station.

Airport Buses: Many airport buses provide service between Incheon International Airport and Seoul/Gyeonggi area. Enter your destination on the Korean Airports website to find the line that serves your hotel. To pay for your fare, use a regular transportation card (T-Money) that can be purchased at convenience stores (a convenience store is located in the arrival area of the airport)

Travels within Seoul

Seoul Metro and Buses: Seoul has many subway and bus lines that serves the city and surrounding areas. Use Kakao Map to find directions to your destination and pay for your fare using a T-Money card that can be purchased at any convenience store and topped up at subway stations. Make sure to tap your card when entering and exiting the bus or subway station so that your fare is calculated accurately.

Taxis: Seoul Taxis work like many other large cities’ taxis and can be hailed in the street. Taxi drivers do not consistently speak English; having your destination written in Korean letters usually help drivers a lot. Most taxis accept credit card payments.

Travels outside Seoul

For Mainland South Korea: Inter-city trains and buses serve many Korean cities from Seoul. See these two resources below for more information:

• Train services in South Korea for inner- and inter-city travel
• Bus services in South Korea for inner- and inter-city travel

For Jeju Island and Japan: Many air carriers serve Jeju Island and Japan from Gimpo International Airport (in Seoul) and Gimhae International Airport (in Busan). Use Google Flights to find carriers that serve your destination.
