Getting there
About 331km from Seoul in a straight line. How long it actually takes is below - train, bus and car all differ.
Booking through this link costs you nothing extra - the price is exactly the same.
If a booking or a purchase completes, we separately receive a commission.
Book the KTX before you go
Buying directly from Korail often runs into the Korean identity verification that stops foreign visitors elsewhere on this trip. Seats from Seoul to Busan, Gyeongju, Jeonju, Daegu and Gangneung can be bought without it.
