TripWise covers Seoul (metro), Busan (KTX region), and Jeju (domestic flights + rental cars). From Korea, Busan and Jeju include KTX/domestic round-trip transfer costs; Seoul can start at zero transfer if you stay locally.
Seoul↔Busan KTX round-trip roughly ₩60,000–140,000; Gimpo↔Jeju domestic flights ₩80,000–250,000 (seasonal). On Jeju and Busan, TripWise itemizes car rental (vehicle, insurance, fuel) plus parking and tolls.
See 2–3 night total budget tables at /guide/seoul-budget-guide, /guide/busan-budget-guide, and /guide/jeju-budget-guide, then customize in the calculator.
Direct Tokyo/Osaka flights from Incheon/Gimpo often ₩200,000–500,000 round-trip with LCCs (seasonal). ¥100 ≈ ₩940–980 — felt costs shift with FX. Suica/ICOCA work at convenience stores, transit, and many restaurants.
Business hotels & capsule hotels (₩60,000–120,000/night), convenience stores & chain gyudon/lunch sets cut food costs. JR Pass is not always best — compare shinkansen segment fares.
7-Eleven/Lawson ATMs plus international cards are common. PayPay works at limited merchants for visitors — carry cash, card, and Suica.
Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore & more. Tourist prices rose post-COVID, but local food and public transit still run 40–60% of Korean levels in many cities.
Grab/Gojek save 30–50% vs taxis. Hawker centers, night markets, and stays outside resorts help most. eSIMs (Airalo/roaming) often ₩3,000–5,000/day.
Sealed water, sanitizer, and repellent are essentials. Compare travel insurance with medical, delay, and baggage cover. Set coverage limits after estimating budget in TripWise.
Schengen covers 26 countries (UK/Ireland excluded). Eurail prices rose sharply in 2024–25 — compare pass vs point-to-point tickets. Eastern Europe (Prague, Budapest) runs 30–50% cheaper on lodging & food.
Airbnb/aparthotels for cooking, lunch menus (pranzo) to cut dinner spend. Add free walking tours and free museum days (London, Paris) to your plan.
At card terminals, always choose local currency (EUR, etc.), not home currency. DCC adds 3–7%. Compare Wise, Revolut, and your bank’s travel card before departure.
Answers to the questions we hear most
They still help cut ATM and card fees abroad. Fee and limit policies changed in 2025–26 — check app notices right before departure.
Estimates for 70 cities (including Seoul, Busan, Jeju) use tier averages and departure-country flight/domestic multipliers. Recalculate before you go — FX, season, and booking timing change costs.
Take a quiz at /quiz for style and city picks, then jump to the budget calculator or itinerary planner. If you know your MBTI, select it before starting to compare.
In volatile periods, splitting into 2–4 purchases or top-ups often helps. Turn on rate alerts from your bank or fintech app.
Dynamic Currency Conversion lets the merchant bill in your home currency. Always choose local currency (EUR, USD, JPY, etc.) to avoid extra fees.
Overseas medical, baggage, flight delay, and liability. Activities like scuba or skiing need add-ons. Aim for 120–150% of your TripWise total budget as a coverage guide.
