Here are three Travel cards just for you when you visit Korea!
What kind of cards, you ask? These are the ones that will be your legs, getting you everywhere you need to go!
With Korea’s well-developed public transportation system, I’ll help you find the perfect card for you—so no need to worry!
T-MONEY Card, the easiest card to grab anytime, anywhere!
The T-money card is the go-to travel card that Koreans love to use! Whether you’re in Seoul, the metro area, Busan, Gwangju, or pretty much anywhere in Korea, this card has you covered. And guess what? You can even use it to pay at convenience stores and some restaurants—no need for a credit card!
You’ll find the T-money card in every convenience store (CU, GS25, 7-Eleven) across Korea. Depending on the design, it costs between 2,500 and 5,000 KRW, and you can top it up with as little as 1,000 KRW.
The best part? There’s no deposit required, and you can grab it anytime, anywhere—how easy is that?
KOREA TOUR Card, your ticket to discounts all over the place!
The Korea Tour Card does everything a T-money card can do, plus it gets you sweet discounts at tourist spots, shopping malls, theaters, restaurants, and more! And here’s the kicker—it’s only for foreign tourists!
You’ll spot this card easily. It’s available at tourist info centers and convenience stores in Incheon International Airport (Terminals 1 & 2) and Gimpo International Airport. You can also pick one up from subway ticket machines or station offices in Seoul. And don’t forget, CU and GS25 convenience stores sell it too, along with tourist info centers in hot spots like Seoul, Busan, and Jeju Island.
Don’t wait! This card was made by the Korean government to give you an extra warm welcome!
WOWPASS Card, designed for everything from travel to currency exchange!
Not enough cash? Or is currency exchange just too much hassle? Then the WOWPASS card is perfect for you!
You can get your WOWPASS card at kiosks in Incheon Airport, Seoul subway stations, or even some hotels. To top it up, just head to a WOWPASS kiosk or simply recharge through the mobile app.
But that’s not all! You can also exchange your foreign currency to Korean won at the kiosks, making it ideal if you haven’t had time to exchange money in advance. Need cash in a pinch? No problem! You can withdraw your balance in Korean won from any nearby ATM—how convenient is that?
