    Itinerary Overview

    Important Notes Before Traveling

    • • To get to Seoul, I flew to Incheon Airport, which is the largest airport in South Korea. From there, I took the AREX train to Seoul station, which was fast and convenient

    • • To get around Seoul, I used the public transportation system, which included buses, subways, and trains. I bought a T-Money card, which was a prepaid smart card that I could use to pay for transportation, food, and shopping
