Seoul Metro Map (New)

This is quite mostly up dated Seoul Metro Map.

From Incheon Airport to Hongik University station, it takes 1hour.


I recommend buying a T-money card(2$ USD) and top up.
T-money is very useful.
Most people use credit card instead T-money, 
but for travelers T-money is enough. 
(You can spend money in 24 hour convenient store!!!)

Myeong-dong Closest Station

This Blue box is a map of Myeong-dong
and also where people mostly go for shopping and hang out.

When people want to go to Myeong-dong station, 
they normally go to Myeong-dong station (Line 4)
EVEN though they are near Myeong-dong area.

I am a Green line user, so I mostly go to Uljiroilga station and get off.

Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station (Seoul Subway Line2) Exit 6. is Myeong-dong also.
(This is how Korean people go to Myeong-dong)

At Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station (Seoul Subway Line2) Exit 7, there is a DUTY FREE department store, called Lotte Department Store.

Save your time!!
