Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Releases Multilingual Transport Guides for Foreign Visitors

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has produced image-format transport guides for foreign visitors, available in English, Japanese, and Chinese (both simplified and traditional). Presented as images, the guides let users quickly see how each transport mode works and highlight the key information at a glance.

The materials list route options for traveling from airports to Seoul and to other regions, and provide step-by-step instructions for using rail, bus, subway, and taxi services. They also cover whether overseas payment cards are accepted in Korea and include instructions on installing and using domestic transport apps — useful reference when planning initial travel arrangements.
