South Korea Travel Forum

I just wanna asked on what is the process on how to apply for a visa to go to South Korea? And what are the requirements. I hope that its not strict like the Japanese Embassy.

Thanks!

Is there any ski resort or place (high elevation - of course) that has snow in early october?

I want to travel to South Korea after my stay in China in September, and was wondering what the cheapest way is to do that. I've looked at flights but they seem incredibly expensive.

I will only have a bout 3 or 4 days in Korea, so I'm guessing flying is my only option, time-wise.

Thanks!

I am already in Taegu, Korea. I want to take a DMZ tour and am running out of time. My flight to home is May 6. This city is confusing and I am not having very much luck finding a place provides tours. Basically I want to take tour to DMZ from Taegu and come back to Taegu in a day or two the max.
If someone out there could help me, I'd greately appreciated.
I didn't plan this trip very well though I've never had this much trouble gettting around.
Thanks

Hi everyone, I am going to South Korea for the first time in july with my Girlfriend of 3 years who was born and raised in Seoul! I would love to suprise her with a great night out, in a good resteraunt! Any recomendations for a place that might offer very good food with a view for a budget of around $50 to 70 US per person for the night? Ideally I am looking for a korean menue and neither of us are fussy about what we eat.

I've been told by a questionable source that one of the tours of the DMZ, has a stop at a train station in/near Panmunjom that among other things offers a tourist passport stamp representing DPRK with the dove of peace.

I've toured the DMZ and JSA during my tour of North Korea, and done the USO tour... So one of my friends and I were looking for something else. Any insight on which other tours offer this station? No other posts or tips give any definitive information. is it Dorasan Railway Station?

We are going to South Korea this month and have to spend a few days in Seoul when we arrive. We only have 4 days to see other parts of South Korea. What should we not miss? We do not intend on driving but can do domestic flights within South Korea. We like everything from culture, history, nature, animals, especially the beach (but I think it's rather cold there still). Anything off the beaten path as long as it's not dangerous is great! Love festivals!

Thanks, in advance, for your recommendations!

Hi.

Can anyone suggest any good restaurants (medium to high budget - I'll be with some foreign business associates) in the area of the Lotte hotel? I prefer not to eat in the hotel.

They need to be:

- Asian: Korean and others
- With English menus or English-speaking staff (or if not, food easily identifiable from pictures)

Cheers,

Hi.

Can anyone give me directions from the Lotte hotel to the PNU bar area? I could get the subway there (need clear directions from the subway station, though, as my sense of direction is terrible). Depending on what time the subway closes, I'd probably need to get a taxi back.

Are there any other bar areas or individual expat bars near the Lotte? I'm interested in bars with cheap drink, good music and the opportunity to meet expats and English-speaking locals. I'm not interested in clubs/discos or dance music.

Cheers,

Can anyone advise me on the best way to get from Incheon Airport (ICN) to Camp Kim? How long does it take to travel between the two? If a taxi is the best way, what would the taxi fare be?

Thanks!

Can someone tell me how to find out about the
Little League baseball organizations in and around Seoul?

Thank you so much!

Sorry for the weird question...

I plan to buy bread from Tous Les Jour ('cuz I really love them, and our country doesn't have any Tous Les Jour or anything close to it) and bring it back to my country. Am I allowed to have the bread check-in with me at the airport? I'll just put it on my carry-on backpack

I was supposed to travel via Bangkok but was rerouted through Seoul. I had my heart set on buying a bunch of soccer uniforms (national team and club team imitations for kids) and know where to get them cheap in Bangkok as they produce them there. They are about $6-$10 dollars there and $50 or more in the US. Do they sell such things in Seoul? My kids are due for a size up...

Thanks!

but it is now in Brazil.

Hi Everyone. I'm new to this forum. I've tried to search for an answer to my question, but without luck. I want to stop over in Seoul for 3-4 days on my way back from Singapore. Just wondering if there are any reputable tours that do 3-days of guided sight-seeing around Seoul including hotel and airport pickup/dropoff. I don't speak of a word of Korean and just want something "effortless" to participate in since I'll be alone for this leg of my trip. I really appreciate any feedback you might have.

Hi~
I was hoping that someone might be able to provide me with detailed transportation information. I need to get from Incheon Internationl Airport to one of these three subway stations:
•Subway line 2, Euljiro 4-ga station
•Subway line 3, Chungmuro station
•Subway line 5, Dongdaemun Stadium station
I just don't know what to do once I get to Incheon Internation Airport. What will take me from the Airport to one of these subway lines?
Any help is much and graciously appreciated!!!

I am trying to find out about the Black Cat restuarant in Seoul. I know is near Lotte world...but can't find it on the internet.

Anyone living in the area or visiting having info on it would be great.

I am assuming my spelling is correct...maybe it could be Black Kat or something sounding similar.

thank you

We are thinking of using Korean Airlines for a flight Melbourne/Seoul/London.
We would like to hear from anyone who has flown this route recently, and their experience of it.
Also, we are told, that the airline will provide a hotel in Incheon overnight due to the long stopover enroute. Was the standard, etc. arrangement, etc. okay?
Any info would be great

Are their any low cost budget international airlines based in south Korea? I will be coming from Australia and from what i can find their are no budget airlines in our reigion that will go directly between the two countries.
So i plan to fly a low cost carrier from austrlia to thoes cities that are well serviced from australia such singapore, Kuala Lumpur, osaka, hongkong or bankgkok spend a couple of nights in one of thoes cities and then go from their to south korea.
So what i am bascially looking for is the name of any budget airline that flys into south korea and what the major destinations of that carrier are in south east asia.
Thanks
