Gangnam
강남
Shopping, beauty and late-night Seoul. Plan by subway exit—the district is broad, busy and easier when destinations are grouped.

BEFORE YOU GO
Guides that apply here.
Incheon Airport to Seoul
Take the AREX all-stop train if your stay is near a station, an airport limousine if the bus stops close to your door, and an official taxi if you land late or carry heavy luggage.
Your first 48 hours in Korea
Handle entry paperwork before you fly, then get online, arrange payment, save your address in Korean and pick your airport route — in that order.
Using the Seoul subway and buses
Tap one transit card for both subway and bus, plan by station exit number rather than street address, and check the last train before you commit to a late night out.
Paying for things in Korea
Cards are widely accepted in Seoul, but carry some cash anyway — transit card top-ups, market stalls and older machines can still need it.
Ordering food in Korea
Learn the kiosk, carry your dietary needs written in Korean, and confirm the payment method before you order in smaller places.
Getting help in an emergency in Korea
Call 112 for police, 119 for fire and ambulance, and 1330 for the government travel helpline, which provides interpretation.
