  • South Korea ↗Check K-ETA and visa status on the official sites before you fly; the list of nationalities that must register online changes.
  • South Korea ↗Google Maps gives poor walking and driving directions in Korea; use Naver Map or Kakao Map for routes.
  • South Korea ↗Buy a T-money card (or use a phone-based transit pass) for subway and buses; it also pays at convenience stores and many taxis.

Incheon is South Korea's third-largest city and home to its main international airport. It has a historic port area with a Chinatown and a planned business district at Songdo. Seoul is about an hour away by train or airport rail.
