How to get to Seoul Downtown from Incheon Airport
South Korea is filled with hidden gems and delicious eateries, but it feels fitting to begin by introducing Seoul. While many blogs already highlight popular attractions such as Myeongdong, Namsan, and Gyeongbokgung, I aim to introduce lesser-known but equally worthwhile spots for your visit.
But today, I’d like to start by sharing some essential and practical information about Seoul first.
For those arriving at Incheon Airport and looking to travel to Seoul or other cities, I recommend checking out Seoul’s official travel website. It provides not only transportation options from the airport to the city but also a variety of helpful information in multiple languages, including English, Chinese, and Japanese.

Seoul boasts a well-developed public transit system, especially its subway network. The city’s subway system is affordable and highly reliable, comparable to Tokyo’s in terms of punctuality, making it convenient to plan your itinerary around. Be mindful of rush hours and popular lines, which can be crowded. For a full subway map, refer to the Seoul City’s official guide.
