If you are staying in Myeongdong and would like to go to a good theme park that is nearer to Seoul, Lotte World is the best choice for you. Apart from taking the subway train, there are also other ways to get to Lotte World from Myeongdong using public transport. Of course if you do not want the hassle of taking subway train, you can take the taxi which is a lot more expensive. You can also get to Lotte World using Seoul public buses such as Green Bus and Blue Bus but they are less suitable for tourists who are not familiar with the places and Korean language. Therefore, taking subway train is still the best way (fastest and cheapest) to get to Lotte World from Myeongdong Seoul.
Hello! Your blog is very informative and helpful as Lotte World is on my list. But I added Lotte World, Coex Mall and then dinner in Gangnam(with my Korean friend) on our itinery. We'll be staying Myeongdong so I'm not sure if that would be ok?

ReplyDeleteHello, getting around in Seoul is easy as long as you stay near a subway station (e.g. Myeongdong Station). Coex Mall and Gangnam is just 30-40 minutes from Myeongdong using subway train. For Coex Mall, just use the same subway route as in this post and get off at Samseong Station (삼성역) – Line 2, Exit 5 (Samseong Station is just 3 stations after Jamsil Station). You can get a T-Money card to commute conveniently on subway train and public bus in Seoul.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me how to buy subway ticket and how to buy ticket for children to get discount ( my family has 2 children)? Thank you
Hello, you can buy subway ticket at the ticket machine or ticket counter at the subway station. Just choose child ticket to get child discount. If you plan to use Seoul Subway a lot during your trip, I suggest you get a prepaid T-Money card that offer more discount for subway and bus trip. T-Money card can be bought at many convenient stores, hotels and also subway stations.
