Money tips
- Cards work almost everywhere, including taxis, convenience stores and most restaurants; keep some won in cash for markets, street stalls and small guesthouses.
- Get a T-money card at a convenience store or station for subways, buses and many taxis; top up with cash at station machines or convenience stores. Seoul's Climate Card gives unlimited city transit for short stays.
- Some Korean apps and websites (food delivery, some ticketing) reject foreign cards; book trains on Korail's English site or app, and pay in person when an app fails.
- Use ATMs marked 'Global ATM' at convenience stores and major banks for foreign cards; fees vary.
- Shops with a Tax Free sign refund VAT on purchases from KRW 15,000 with your passport, often instantly at the till.
