Currency

Major foreign currencies that can be exchanged at banks, hotels, and the airport include the US Dollar, Japanese Yen, Euro, and UK Sterling. Most hotels, restaurants, and shops accept major international credit cards including Visa, American Express, Diners Club, Master Card, and JCB. Foreign-issued ATM cards may have limited use.

Electricity

The electricity supply commonly used in Korea is the 220-volt 60Hz system. Because most newly built hotels and houses have 220-volt wiring installed, you are advised to check your electronic equipment beforehand.

Weather

Korea has four seasons, with a wet monsoon and summer in the middle of the year, and a cold winter from November to March. The most ideal time to visit Korea is during the autumn months (September ~ November). During this time, the country experiences warm, sunny weather, skies that are cobalt blue, and spectacular foliage that is perhaps the biggest draw.
