South Korea uses the South Korean won (KRW) as its currency. For travelers, it is generally convenient to use cards, especially credit and debit cards, as they are widely accepted in cities and tourist areas. However, carrying some cash is recommended for small purchases, markets, and rural areas where card acceptance may be limited.
In Seoul, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing in crowded areas like markets and public transportation. Common scams include overpriced taxis refusing to use the meter and street vendors charging inflated prices. It’s advisable to use official transportation services and remain vigilant in busy tourist spots.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
