    Seoul subway is easy way to get around. All signs are in English and you can get anywhere you want to go. I'd buy a metro card and put $$ on it to save time lining up for tickets. It only costs about 800W each trip.. little more for longer hauls. If you're a group short distances are cheaper in taxi... but if there's alot of traffic- it might not be worth it.

    Seouls Subway system is massive, fast, efficient and cheap.... you take a ticket from either a machine or the ticket couner. If you are visiting seoul it's probably better to just tell the ticket man what station you are going to and he will give you the appropriate ticket. You have to put that ticket through the slot and collect it again before you get on the train. and you have to do the same when you get off the train... only it won't come back to you. If the alarm sounds then you can just jump over or under the barrier.. depending on whether there are any people around. Often a staff member will come over very shortly and help you out...

    Somewhat similar to the Tokyo subway
    system, just as efficient but at half Tokyo`s cost.

    It is so easy to get around Seoul via the subway..most stops are only 700 won, a real bargain compared to Tokyo (at 160 yen) and NYC at $2).

  • Subway is the best way to get around Seoul. Most of places of interests are within zone 1 (fare 700 won, around 60 cents) , but the fare structure is going to change in July 2004. Try to avoid rush hours as it's very crowded.

    The best and worst way to travel is via the subway system. Sure it's extensive and will get you everywhere but only if yoiu can figure out how it works.

    Looking at the subway map, you can help but feel a little overwhelm. There are lines intersecting, oversecting and undersecting each other. It's more than likely you'll get lost within this system nadnever see daylight again.

    So if you can ask the local, or anyone who's not running away from you.... Crazy foreigners

    Subway: Fast and Cheap

  • The fastest and cheapest way around Seoul is the subway and they also extend well past the boundries of the city. But they can pack they in so if you don't like tight enclosed spaces you may want to avoid.

  • The prices are very low, mainly if you come from Japan. :) For only 0.5USD you can travel even 40 stations on the subway. Although I do not know, how does it work if you have to change line, I do not think it is a big deal even if you have to but an other ticket for an other 50 cents.

    The subway in Seoul seems very big and it is but it is very user friendly. Everything is in Korean & English. Subway is very cheap as well... about 700 Won. And you can walso walk. I think the best option to see the real Seoul is to walk. Even if you're lost that how you can find out different place and not just touristic place.

    The subway is considered the most effective traffic system in Seoul. Eight subway lines and a surface line of the Korean National Railroad (KNR) merge to serve Seoulites and visitors to Korea. Seoul subway lines (each one a distinct color) link the farthest parts of Seoul and its satellite cities. The lines are well developed and you can find most of Seoul's attractions such as royal palaces, historical sites and theme parks along the eight different lines.
