Important Notes
This is the most crucial tip!!
During traditional holidays like Seollal (Lunar New Year) or Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving),
the number of visitors is several times higher than usual.
Because of this, popular shops at Seoul Station Connect Place have incredibly long queues,
so you'll need to arrive much earlier than your train departure time
to order comfortably.
For popular takeaway food items at Seoul Station,
we strongly recommend ordering in advance!!!
