    Clean and efficient, Seoul's metro will take you anywhere in the city. Signs are in English and all the most interesting spots of the city have a station. That means no worries about being cheated, getting lost or language barrier.

    Subway: Learn the Subway system

    In a city of over 12 million people, the traffic is horrible. My advise is to learn the subway system and use it often. I use it to and from work every day. It's easy, safe and well designed. The directions, messages and announcements are in Korean and English, so there is no problem. On your first trip, stop at the ticket booth and ask for a map in English. I use a multi-ticket (10,000 won)which gives me about 1 week or more of trips.

    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).

    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

    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.
