4 Must-Have Items When Traveling Around South Korea

Making your way around South Korea can be a bit daunting especially if it’s your first time there. Even if the country is known to have an efficient transport system and a tourist-friendly culture, having these four travel essentials is a big help to anyone traveling around this top Asian destination:

 

AREX ticket

Start your Korean escapade by taking the Airport Railroad Express or AREX train for a worry-free and comfortable commute from Incheon International Airport to Seoul Station. It’s the easiest and most convenient option to make your way to the city, thanks to its comfortable seats and luggage storage. 

You can skip the lines and go straight to your destination in the city by booking your AREX tickets in advance with KKday. Reserve them online, print your voucher, and scan the QR code at the ticket counter to claim your train pass. You can book your return ticket as soon as you alight from the train.

 

 

T-Money card

Once you’re in the city, the next essential you must have is the T-Money card. It is a public transport card that you can use to access main modes of transportation all over South Korea. It will come in handy should you need to take the subway or public buses, and even if you need to purchase something at convenient stores.

You can get a T-Money card from KKday, either without credits or with ₩5,000 credits. Both can be topped up in Korea, and can even be delivered or picked up before your trip if you’re coming from Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong or the Philippines.

 

 

Portable Wi-Fi/SIM Card

Having internet connection when traveling in a foreign country is now more of a necessity than a luxury. It keeps you in touch with your friends and family back home and allows you to access important apps and online maps anytime, anywhere.

You can get either a portable Wi-Fi device or a local SIM card in Korea by booking through KKday. Wi-Fi devices can be picked up at airports in Korea, and returned to the same location after your trip and before you go through immigration. Local SIM cards, on the other hand, are either picked up at airports in Korea or in Taoyuan International Airport if you’re coming from Taiwan. You can easily dispose the SIM card once your trip is over.

 

 

Discover Seoul Pass

Complete your Korea must-haves by getting the Discover Seoul Pass. If the T-Money card allows you to access public transportation, the Discover Seoul Pass lets you gain entry to 35 of the Korean capital’s iconic and most visited tourist spots. It is considered as the most cost-effective way to see the best of Seoul, as it also provides discounts to 14 other services and attractions.

Depending on the length of your stay, you can get a 24, 48, or 72-hour pass. If you register your pass, you can get a complimentary one-way AREX ticket, which you can use from the airport to Seoul Station or vice-versa.

Get your Discover Seoul Pass from KKday and you can even book the limited edition BTS card!
