About Travel to Seoul
Seoul is served by Incheon International Airport and by high-speed rail from Busan. The Metro is extensive and easy to use; get a T-money card. Spring (cherry blossoms) and autumn (foliage) are peak times; winter is cold but clear. Book palaces, DMZ tours, and popular restaurants in advance. Neighbourhoods like Hongdae, Myeongdong, and Gangnam each offer something different—mix palaces and markets with K-food and cafés. Allow time for a hanok stay, a jimjilbang, or a day trip to the DMZ or Nami Island.
