Use Seoul Station / Yongsan as the rail reference for Seoul. Confirm the exact station name and onward transfer to Myeongdong / Jongno / Hongdae; a high-speed station can be outside the central sightseeing area. Compare train and bus options for the complete door-to-door route.

Book a realistic departure time after your arrival journey. Do not assume every service uses the same station or that every train is high speed. Verify the selected date and stop pattern with the operator.
