Getting around in Sth Korea

Thinking of going to Sth Korea in November. How easy is it to get around on public transport ? Are the signs only in Korean once you get out of the bigger places or do they have English as well ? (I am a quite experienced traveller , last year found my way around the Yunnan Provincce in China with not too much trouble. this is the main reason I ask about signage).

How easy is it to get around on public transport ?

Are the signs only in Korean once you get out of the bigger places.

%26gt; Almost every big cities have a good subway %26amp; buses. Information in subway stations is written in Korean %26amp; English, but buses are not. Although there is only Korean in information plate in bus, I recommend you to use buses someday. It%26#39;s fun.

do they have English as well ?

%26gt; Not so bad. Almost every students do English well. If you have a chance to ask direction, please ask to students. I usually notice directions to foreigners.

It%26#39;s perfectly ok in Seoul but less so once you%26#39;re out of the capital city. There%26#39;s enough in Seoul to interest first timers even for one to two weeks. If you%26#39;re planning to explore the peninsula, I would recommend joining a local tour. Hope this helps.

Trains are fine everywhere. Buses: you need Korean.

You could rent a car so long as you%26#39;ve an international permit, but NOT in Seoul, unless you are really adventurous. All direction signs are in both languages in and out of Seoul.

Public tpt in Seoul is so good, you%26#39;d be silly to even try to drive yourself; traffic jams abound, so use the subway.

I%26#39;ve driven widely out of town, and it%26#39;s great off the expressways. On the expressways, it%26#39;s heavy fast traffic; often with huge long lasting jams.

KTX train is great, not expensive, and now there%26#39;s an Eng lang website once more.

It%26#39;s easy to get around. I went to Seoul and I%26#39;m not Korean. I found the subway very easy to navigate and all the signs are in English. Some of the subway lines also tell you the name of the next stop in English when you%26#39;re on the subway. I find that the Korean people are very friendly and will go out of their way to help you if you are lost or need help. However, I did not take bus as I did not want to get lost in the city. Overall, as long as you know where you want to go, there is pretty much a subway station nearby to reach your destination. I can%26#39;t wait to go back. Have fun, it%26#39;s an awesome country to see.

If you%26#39;ve traveled in China without much problem, Seoul would be no problem too. Subways are easier, and maybe better if you can grab a English version of subway map with you.

Most of tourist attraction are somewhere near to subway stations but some places are better to go by bus. In addition if you take bus, you get to see the streets of Seoul as you go. However if you are first time to Seoul and are staying short to middle term, you could probably travel around with only Subway just fine.
