The seoul tourism organization has created a new, convenient online travel information source called i Tour Seoul. This digital service gives users access to information related to Seoul in multiple languages and is easy to use, especially with a mobile phone.
The website for i Tour Seoul, http://www.visitseoul.net, provides all the essential information visitors will need, including walking tours, package tours, itineraries, attractions, restaurants and performances. In addition, tickets and accommodations can be directly booked using foreign credit cards without having to go through a third party. i Tour Seoul's site also provides useful public transportation information with a handy i Tour Seoul Map that allows searches for any location in Seoul and lets users know the best way to reach a destination.
Travelers who have smart phones can access all of this information on the go through the i Tour Seoul Mobile website. The application version can also be downloaded for free and can be used on most smart phones, including iPhones, Android phones, and Windows mobile phones. Also, since iPhones with the i Tour Seoul Application already installed are available for rent*, there's no reason to be in Seoul without your own, personal handheld tour guide!
*iPhones can be rented with a credit card or a 600,000 won (approx. $600) cash deposit. Using the i Tour Seoul application is free, but calls made on the rental iPhone will be charged separately (within Korea: 100 won/10 seconds). Using other applications or the website may also incur additional charges.
Rental locations can be found at the Incheon international airport (located between Gates 6 and 7, and Gates 10 and 11), Gimpo international airport (located at Gate 1), and at the City air terminal's SHOW global roaming center.
