Use Public Transportation Wisely

Purchase a T-money or CashBee card for public transportation. They are valid in both Seoul and Busan, so you can top it off with cash for subways and buses. Avoid rush hour (6-7 PM) to dodge overcrowding.
Avoid Wi-Fi Eggs

Don’t bother renting a Wi-Fi egg; free Wi-Fi is widely available. Consider getting a local SIM card at the airport if needed.
Use Kakao Taxi

Download the Kakao Taxi app to request rides without needing a Korean mobile number. You can pay after the ride with a foreign card.
Download Helpful Apps

Use Kakao Maps or Naver Maps for navigation and saving locations. Google Maps is not as reliable for directions in Korea.
Learn Basic Korean Phrases

Learn a few basic Korean phrases to enhance your experience, like 'annyeong haseyo' (hello) and 'gamsahamnida' (thank you).
Be Prepared for Cash Payments

While most restaurants accept cards, cash is needed for street food, markets, and some restaurants. Always carry some cash.
Time Your Meals and Activities

Most restaurants open late, around 11 AM, and some don’t open until later in the evening. Structure your day to make the most of late-night dining and activities.
