Seoul subway lines in Korea - How to transfer subway line 2, 4, and 6 using airport railroad.

Today, I will introduce the Seoul subway lines in Korea. You can see there are many subway lines in Seoul metropolitan subway map. It could be confusing for travelers, but it is not difficult at all. I will let you know what you see and use it. Most of travelers are arrived in Incheon international airport station or some of travelers near Korea are arrived in Gimpo international airport station. Both stations belong to airport railroad, so you just remember the airport railroad line first to go to your accommodation.

Fig 1. Seoul metropolitan subway map. There are many subway lines in the map.

If your accommodation is near Myeong-dong, you should get off at the Seoul station and transfer subway line 4. Then, get off at the Myeong-dong station. If your accommodation is near Hongik Univ. station, you should get off at the Hongik Univ. station without changing the subway line. If your accommodation is near Itaewon, you should get off at the Digital media city station and transfer subway line 6. Then, get off at the Itaewon or Noksapyeong station. (Some accommodations are near Noksapyeong station in Itaewon place.) Therefore, you just remember subway lines - airport railroad, 2, 4, and 6 to go to your accommodation.
