Taxi

There are three types of taxis in Seoul (check detailed information about Seoul taxis here). You can opt for regular, deluxe and jumbo taxis, depending on your group. But, it is very likely that your driver will be fluent in Korean only – so it’s better to have your destination written in local dialect so that there is no confusion.

In addition to the local taxis, Incheon Airport and Seoul also has option of choosing from a fleet of international taxis. Drivers of these cabs are fluent in foreign languages like English, Japanese, and Chinese.

Important tips about airport transfers and Seoul Transport Hubs

Seoul is served by two major airports:

  • Incheon International Airport: Handles most international flights and some domestic routes.
  • Gimpo International Airport: Primarily for domestic flights and select international flights to China and Japan.

Best Transfer Options:

  • AREX (Airport Railroad Express): The fastest way to travel between Incheon and Gimpo Airports. Offers both non-stop and all-stop services.
  • Airport Limousine Bus: A comfortable and convenient option for transfers between the two airports.

Rail Services:

  • KTX (Korea Train Express): High-speed rail service primarily operates from Seoul Station. However, some KTX trains connect directly to Incheon International Airport.
  • Other rail services: Several other rail lines serve Seoul, including subway, commuter trains, and intercity trains.
