    Important Notes Before Traveling

    • • The best time to visit Seoul is in spring (March-May) or autumn (September-November) when the weather is mild and the scenery is beautiful.

    • • The currency in South Korea is the Korean won (KRW). You can exchange money at banks, airports, or currency exchange booths. Credit cards are widely accepted but it’s good to have some cash for small purchases or tips.
