How to use this for your Korea trip
- Always carry a T-Money card: Essential for all public transport (subway, bus) and accepted at convenience stores. Top up at subway stations or convenience stores with cash.
- Download Naver Map or Kakao Map: Google Maps is less reliable in Korea. These local apps offer accurate navigation for public transport, walking, and driving.
- Be aware of night taxi surcharges: Taxis have a 20% surcharge between 22:00 and 04:00. Use Kakao T for convenient booking and fare estimation.
- Utilize instant tax refunds: For purchases between 15,000 KRW and 1,000,000 KRW at participating stores (e.g., Olive Young), you can often get an immediate tax refund on the spot. Present your passport.
- Understand Korean dining etiquette: Many restaurants, especially BBQ and hot pot places, have a '1 person 1 dish' rule. Be mindful when ordering for groups.
