Step 3 Your days in Seoul

Seoul with kids

What children pay on the subway, which sights are free for them, and places kids like, with the days they close.

Do this first

Register a child transport card

To pay the child or youth fare, register the card as a child or youth card. Register it at a convenience store or a subway station information center: show the T-money card and your child's passport.

Adults caught using a child card are fined 30 times the base fare.
