Frequently asked questions

Do I need to speak Korean to get around?

While English is spoken in major tourist areas, having a local guide is invaluable for navigating menus and public transport in authentic, non-tourist spots.

What is the best way to travel around Seoul?

The T-money card is essential for seamless access to Seoul’s world-class subway and bus networks, which are efficient, clean, and highly reliable.

When is the best time to visit?

Spring (April-May) for cherry blossoms or Autumn (September-November) for crisp weather and stunning foliage are widely considered the ideal times to visit.
