Built on polders in front of the big city, this airport is located 50 km west of Seoul. He makes international departures, but also on Korean territory. For all information and ticket purchases, there are useful counters on the first floor near exits 4 and 9 (Terminal 1) and at the Traffic Center in the basement "B1" (Terminal 2). The 2 terminals are connected by a very frequent free shuttle bus.

It should be noted that only four agencies are officially accredited in South Korea to visit the DMZ and Panmunjeom. Panmunjeom Travel Center is one of them. And stands out from its competitors because its employees make you discover the North Korean point of view! Indeed, all the employees went to Pyongyang, and above all, you will have the exceptional opportunity to be guided and to have the testimony of north Koreans who will tell you about their lives in their former homeland. Their website is really very comprehensive.

Second largest airport in Seoul and third largest in the country (after Incheon and Jeju). It is located 18 km from the centre, in the west of the city, but there are four convenient (bus, metro, taxi and car) and cheap means of transport to get there. There are two terminals which are linked very frequently by a free shuttle bus. Convenient for travel in Korea as well as China and Japan. Ideal for internal travel within the country, it serves the airports of Gwangju, Gimhae, Sacheon, Yeosu, Ulsan and Jeju.

Seoul National University is a national university located in Seoul. Founded in 1946, it is one of the country's most prestigious universities.

The university's mascot is the crane. Seoul National University also offers a variety of events and exhibitions, such as free first-aid training, anatomy exhibitions and architectural displays. The university is located in Seoul's Gwanak-gu district.

Seogang University is located in Seoul. It offers various study programs, including Korean language courses for foreign students. Courses are available at various levels and are offered throughout the year. Evening courses and summer programs are also offered.

One of the best institutes. Serious and effective.

Set up by the city of Seoul, although slightly more expensive than normal cabs, it avoids unpleasant surprises as all the drivers speak English (so there's no risk of overcharging). From the airport, as for all your other travel needs, this is the number to call to book a cab. Prices guaranteed by the tourist office; payment in cash or by credit card; easy to book by phone or online.

The capital is well served and the entire territory is impeccably serviced. It has three major train stations:

Seoul Station. It is the most important station in the capital and in the country. It connects Seoul to Busan in direct line. It is located in the northern part of the heart of the city.

Yongsan Station. It is the station to take for departures to the southeast and southwest. Located in the southern part of the city center.

Cheongnyangny Station. This is the station for departures to the east. A little off-center to the northeast.

Once there, if you want to let yourself go and enjoy your visits, call Cosmojin Tour! The latter offers a wide and beautiful range of tours, in Seoul (including DMZ and JSA) and outside, walking tours to discover the city at a different pace as well as "experience" tours (initiation to Korean cuisine, taekwondo, etc...), for families, and even if you feel like skiing. All at very low prices. The only negative point is that you might get a taste for it!

If you want to be totally free and not rely on public transport, you can rent a car. Be warned, however: driving in Seoul (and Korean cities in general) is hellish, and parking is often mission impossible. Nevertheless, driving on Korean soil is the best way to enjoy its splendid landscapes. A few conditions must be met: you must be at least 21 years old, have an international driving license, have had your license for at least 1 year and have a valid passport.

Voted "best travel agency for foreign tourists" by the Korean Ministry of Culture in 2015, the agency has set up several interesting tours in Seoul (including DMZ and JSA) as well as in the rest of the country: Gyeongju, Mount Seorak, Jeju, Gongju/Buyeo... In addition, they offer themed tours such as boat tours, religious tours (Muslim, Catholic and Buddhist) and even medical tours! Even if the website is a bit old-fashioned, it's still well done and you'll find all the details and information you need.

If you are sporty (fake flat) and have time on your hands, then the bike rental option is ideal. Be careful though, as there are very few bicycle paths (except along the Han River) and the traffic is very dense. Please note that you must be over 15 years old to be able to remove a bike. On the site, you will find all the procedure to follow to rent a bike in Seoul but also (and most importantly), an interactive real-time map showing you the nearest self-service points. You know what you have to do, saddle up!

There are an impressive number of cabs in Seoul, at any time of the day or night. There are several different types: luxury cabs, which are black and more spacious than the others, but also a little more expensive; international cabs, which are orange and whose drivers all speak English, which can be very useful; and finally, classic cabs. The "Call Taxi" service will bring the vehicle to you. There is no guarantee that the driver will speak English.

Buses are practical, as they enable you to reach a more precise destination than with the subway. However, they often only use Korean, so if you can't read it, it can be a bit complicated. Seoul's buses are color-coded. Blue buses will cover the whole city. Green buses run between major stations and subway stops. Yellow buses concentrate on city centers. Red buses run in the suburbs and beyond. There are also fixed-route night buses.

This agency offers tours of Seoul (which can be interesting) but above all accredited tours of the DMZ. It offers a variety of tours at different prices and with different programs (their website details the offers).

The tours are not necessarily cheap, but they have the merit of being comprehensive. You need to be careful, as some options include pick-up directly from your hotel, as well as lunch, but others do not. The guides speak English, of course, and will be with you every step of the way.

Enjoying a good reputation and having won an award at the TTG Travel Awards in 2017, this agency organizes a range of tours in Seoul (including DMZ and JSA) as well as night tours and various tours on the theme of culinary culture, Korean TV series or even the famous BTS boy band (fans will be delighted). It is one of the best agencies in the city and it is certainly the one that offers the most proposals to visitors. It can also allow you to have a SIM card or an Internet router if needed.
