Good to know
Subway stations are your best bet for toilets
Station toilets are free and usually clean. Toilets at parks, gas stations and public buildings are open to everyone too.
→ ToiletsExchange money in the city, not at the airport
Private exchange shops in areas like Myeongdong, Hongdae and Seongsu usually beat airport rates. Change just enough for transport at the airport.
→ Money exchangeGet a T-money card first
Buy and top up a T-money card at any convenience store for subways and buses. Transfers within a set time are discounted — just remember to tap out when you get off.
Use Naver Map for walking directions
Google Maps has limited walking and driving directions in Korea. Naver Map works much better and supports English.
Use the K.Ride app for taxis
K.Ride is Kakao Mobility's taxi app for visitors: sign up with your overseas phone number, pay with an overseas card, and chat with the driver with automatic translation.
Missed the last train? Take a night bus
The subway usually stops around midnight. Night buses with an "N" before the number (Owl buses) run the main routes until early morning.
Bring your passport when shopping
Stores showing a Tax Free sign can refund VAT when you show your passport — either on the spot or at the airport when you leave.
