Just follow the signs

Posted on November 11, 2014 by rfljenksy

In my opinion, the easiest city in the world to get around in is Seoul, Korea. They put directional signs up at every corner. Their metro system is by far the coolest. I forgot how easy it was to go places in Seoul. Aside from the signs, the people there will stop what they are doing to give guidance… even if that guidance is sometimes going in a different direction. Ahh Korea, I miss you.

Maps, signs, arrows, video.. you name it it shows you!!

electronic signs on the metro that tell you what stop is approaching.

yellow lines and color coded arrows on the ground that also direct you.

Metro map clearly labeled

more signs in the metro at random intervals telling you which direction to go.

doors of the subway entrance with subway maps on them so you can judge the distance to your stop.

escalators with yellow lines. show you where to stand if you are standing and where to walk if you are walking

at every entrance and when you get off the metro neighborhood maps which show you which exit to take for what you are trying to find.

Men and women politely selling necessary items. Bandaids to noodles.

Electronic sign in Metro that tells you exactly where your train is and also alternates with commercials

Art, stores, more signs

Thanks for the tour! My daughter-in-law is from Seoul and my son has lived there. Nice to see what it looks like from a traveler’s perspective.
