There is a water taxi in Seoul known as the “Han River Ferry”. While most would consider this more of a tourist ride rather than a form of public transportation, it could also be used as an expensive, albeit relaxing, alternative to taking the subway across the river. You can get the ferry on Yeoido Island and take it either round trip (for one hour) back to Yeoido or to one of the other four ferry piers (and vice versa): Yanghwa, Nanji, Ttukseom and Jamsil. The cost is roughly 16,000 for an adult and 8,000 for a child. It is available from 9 am until 7:30 pm, Tuesday through Sunday.

Top Tips
01 | Learn Hangul. You don’t have to become fluent in Korean, but learning the Korean alphabet will make your life much easier. |
02 | Keep in mind that most Koreans have never traveled outside their own country, which will account for a lot of the misunderstandings expats encounter. |
03 | As an expat, Itaewon will offer foods you wouldn’t otherwise find in Seoul, and it truly is the central hub for expats living in Seoul. |
04 | Travel around Korea. It still has plenty to offer – stunning ocean views, excellent hiking, crazy food and fabulous cities. |
05 | Meet lots of expats, but be sure to make Korean friends as well; these are the people who will bring you closer to secrets Seoul has to offer. |
