    Itinerary Overview

    Important Notes Before Traveling

    • • To get to Seoul from Incheon Airport, the fastest and easiest way is to take the Airport Railroad Express (AREX) train to Seoul Station. The fare is ₩4,150-4,750 depending on the terminal. Alternatively, you can take an airport bus or a taxi, but they may be more expensive or slower depending on traffic.

    • • To use public transportation in Seoul, I recommend buying a T-money Card, which can be used for subways, buses, and taxis. You can buy it at convenience stores or subway stations and recharge it as needed. You can also use your credit card or mobile phone to pay for transportation if they have NFC function.
