Metro system is very impressive and useful, wonder why other cities don’t plan or already have similar transport networks. Only issue I had was upon arriving at a metro station I was disoriented when I got to ground level. Ie which way is north, south? Phone GPS didn’t help much so I ended up buying a good old fashioned compass to get my bearings.

Such an informative post! Appreciated reading about the old and new sites of the city, the metro, Korean food, cafes and popular brands. I’ll definitely remember to download Kakao before going to Seoul

When I taught ESL in South Korea, I lived in Baebang, which is in Asan province just west of the city of Cheonan. I was on the 3rd last station of Seoul Line 1 on its southern leg – taking the non-express train to Seoul Centre Station took just a bit over 2 hours.

Technically, Seoul may not have the biggest subway system, but it sure feels like it!
