Start Your Korea Trip at Incheon Airport
Incheon International Airport is the gateway to Korea. From the airport to downtown Seoul, it takes just 43 minutes by AREX Express or 66 minutes by the local train. The airport connects to all major accommodation areas including Myeongdong, Hongdae, and Gangnam.
The T-money transit card can be purchased immediately at a convenience store after arrival. It works on the subway, bus, and AREX — an essential companion throughout your trip. For currency exchange, we recommend the Woori Bank counter at the airport or the exchange shops in Myeongdong.
Travel from Seoul to Busan by KTX takes about 2 hours 30 minutes. After Busan, Jeju Island is just a 1-hour domestic flight away. For trips of 5 nights or more, the Seoul–Busan–Jeju golden route is highly recommended.
