1. Make sure your flight lands before evening:<\/strong> Flights into Seoul rarely touch down in the evening. Arriving late in Seoul would be an inconvenience if you\u2019re on a budget. Instead of making use of the efficient and cheap public metro, you\u2019ll have to take an expensive taxi ride that takes around an hour to reach the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Install KakaoMap: <\/strong>Google Maps are pretty much useless in Korea for reasons unknown. Most, if not all Koreans use KakaoMap as their preferred navigation tool. The only drawback would be the lack of offline compatibility. However, that can be solved easily if you purchase a SIM card<\/a> from Klook<\/a>. \u2757\ufe0f Pro-Tip: Get up to 5% cashback via YouTrip Perks<\/a>! With that, you will be able to navigate around with ease!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Save a photo of the restaurant or building after Googling it: <\/strong>Restaurants and attractions normally display their names in Korean rather than in English. Saving a screenshot of the place may be a good idea when you\u2019re asking a local for directions or help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Get a TMoney Card:<\/strong> A TMoney card is essentially Korea\u2019s version of EZ-Link, making your public transit trips hassle-free and convenient. If you\u2019re going to be constantly travelling within the city to do your shopping, sightseeing or indulging in meals, it’ll save you quite a bit of money. All you need to do is top up money when needed and you\u2019re good to hop on any bus or metro. You can get the TMoney card<\/a> on Klook<\/a> before you embark on your trip to South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Book your accommodations early:<\/strong> Like plane ticket prices, accommodation prices fluctuate quickly, especially those at prime locations in the city. And because we\u2019re getting around South Korea mostly by public transport, a convenient location is highly important. As such, popular hotels or hostels sell out fast so be sure to make your booking as soon as you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
