How to reach Yonsei University in Sinchon from the airports, and how to get around Seoul during the PC meeting. Seoul’s public transportation is highly efficient; most trips use a combination of subway, bus, and walking.

To Yonsei University (Sinchon)
The meeting is at Yonsei University’s Sinchon campus in Gangbuk (“north of the river”), near the vibrant Sinchon area. The Seoul subway is fast, reliable, and well-labeled in English.
Subway — Sinchon Station (Seoul Subway Line 2 ■)
| Exit | Direction |

Either exit works for reaching campus; follow signs toward Yonsei University. See walking map to Daewoo Hall and the venue page for room locations.

Getting around Seoul
T-money transit card
A rechargeable T-money card is essential. Purchase one at the airport or any convenience store for about 5,000 won. Tap when boarding and when exiting buses or subways — failing to tap out may result in extra charges on your next trip.
Free transfers
Seoul offers free transfer benefits between bus-to-subway, subway-to-bus, or bus-to-bus (up to 4 times) within 30 minutes (60 minutes at night) at no extra base fare.
Note: Transfer discounts do not apply when transferring to the same bus route (prevents quick round-trip use).
Subway & bus
Most destinations are easily reachable by subway. Buses complement the subway network across the city.
Taxi & ride-hail
Taxis are relatively affordable. We recommend the Kakao T app (English supported) for taxis.
Navigation
Naver Map is strongly recommended for navigation in Seoul. Google Maps does not work as well locally.
KTX intercity trains
From Seoul you can easily take KTX trains to other Korean cities. The farthest major destination (Busan) is about a 3-hour ride.
By Car
Enter through the Main Gate (정문) and use the Baekyang-ro Underground Parking Lot (capacity: 917 vehicles), which is the closest parking lot to the School of Business. Standard campus parking fees apply.
Public biking (Ddareungi)
Seoul’s bike-share system Ddareungi (따릉이) is available citywide via the Ddareungi app; bikes must be returned to designated docks. Best routes are along Han River parks; urban bike lanes exist but downtown riding can be stressful during peak hours.
