Getting Around : Gyeonggi-do & Seoul

Gyeonggi-do surrounds Seoul, the capital city, and is the economic hub of the country. It is also home to beautiful national and provincial parks, islands and beaches.

Gyeonggi-do has a convenient public transportation system and a transportation pass, T-money card, will save your time and money to move around between cities.

Seoul is easily accessible by subway within one hour and maybe a must-visit if you don't have time but can still taste Korean tradition and modernity together.
