What We’ll Do With The Passes?

For us, since the cool part about this special pass is the ability to travel on KTX and other Korail-operated trains for unlimited times between 1^st February – 25^th March 2018, we’ll plan our trip according to the 9 stops available on the Gyeonggang line (Seoul-Gangneung-Seoul). We’ll visit one city everyday and enjoy what each city has to offer. They have a specific timetable, you may check it out here too! 

Additionally, if we have the extra time, we’ll love to use the extra benefit of their Free City Tour or Bus Tour Coupons. It’s available for selected cities (they have listed out in their website) but for us, definitely would like to take this opportunity to visit Jeju Island and take the Jeju City Tour using the free coupon available from the PyeongChang Korail Pass.

How to buy?

PyeongChang Korail Pass can be purchased through the official website. Ticket sales will be open until January 10, 2018.
