l From the Airport

Most international flights arrive at Incheon International Airport (ICN), which has two terminals (T1 and T2) — check which one your airline uses.
Some regional Asian and domestic flights also operate through Gimpo International Airport (GMP).

   AREX Express Train
  • Non-stop to Seoul Station (subway Lines 1 & 4, KTX hub) with reserved seats
  • No traffic, fixed schedule
  • Runs from around 5:20 AM to 11:40 PM

   Airport Limousine Bus
  • Direct routes to major hotels and neighborhoods
  • Fixed schedule, runs from around 4:00 AM to 11:00 PM depending on route

   Taxi or Ride-hailing
  • Door-to-door, 24/7
  • Best for late arrivals or groups
  • Drivers may not speak English — have your destination saved in Korean or use a ride-hailing app

※ During rush hour or on weekends, Seoul traffic can add considerable time to bus and taxi rides


l Around the City

  • One rechargeable T-money card covers subways, buses, and most taxis — highly recommended

Pick one up as soon as you arrive. It's the simplest way to move around the city.
