Seoul questions

Is two weeks enough for Seoul?

Two weeks covers central Seoul and day trips without daily rushing. Book DMZ tours and palace time slots at least one week ahead.

Do I need to book the DMZ tour ahead?

Yes, reserve DMZ tours one to two weeks in advance. Most depart from Seoul at 8 a.m. and cost 50,000 won including transport.

How do I get around Seoul with public transport?

Buy a T-money card for 2,500 won and load credit for subways and buses. It works at all major stations and reduces per-ride costs.

How much does a Han River cruise cost?

Evening cruises from Yeouido start at 15,000 won per person. Buy tickets online or at the pier on the day for the 7 p.m. departure.
