    The Seoul Railway Station building is a colonial relic from the Japanese occupation of Korea (c1910 - 1945). It is loved and hated by many, however it is a fine architectural work none the less. There is now very little remaining significant buildings seen in Korea from that era. Seoul Railway Station had been threatened to be torn down over the past decades, but fortunately it has been harmoniously intergrated into the recent station redevelopment. From here one can take the new French TGV technology high speed trains to Busan in 2 1/2 hours for 45,000 won one way. These trains, which began in April 2004, now replace the saemaeul service that once took 4hours+. The high speed trains actually have to slow down between Daegu and Busan, since the tracks from there to Busan have not been upgraded yet.

  • It depends on the place where you are. Korea is surrounded by sea.( but not an island ) Located on peninsula. Air plane is the only one possible transportation. subway train.

    Korail operates the KTX (bullet train) and Korail (regular train). From our hotel, the Millenium Hilton, the closest train station was at the Seoul Station just east of the Metro in the Concos Galleria Shopping Center. We took the KTX to travel down to Busan. To sit in first class costs about US$20 more per person. The seats are more comfortable and lots more leg room. IT IS WORTH IT! We traveled back to Seoul after a few days and I forgot to purchase the first class tickets. We ended up in tiny seats, legs jammed into the seat in front of us, more people filled in the seats. When traveling the KTX for a long distance like we did, make sure to select a direct route. The train will still stop at other stations but no detours that would cause your trip to take longer than necessary. There is a KR Pass. Korean non-resident (foreign) pass for railroad travel by tourists. You wil need to show your passport. For 3 days, about US$76 and 5 days, about US$114 and additional costs of 50% for sleeping cabin and KTX First Class. So, do your math first to see if this is worthwhile for you. We did not purchase the KR Pass.

    One of Seoul's major landmarks, Seoul Station is a central hub for transportation throughout Korea, as well as Seoul. Trains run from here to most destinations south (along the Kyeongbu line), as well as a few to the north (along the Kyeongui line). Additionally, two of Seoul's subways intersect here (lines 1 and 4). Most buses running through downtown also swing by here, making it a good place to start exploring.
