🚄🇰🇷 Riding the KTX: Korea’s High-Speed Train Experience

If you want to travel across Korea quickly and comfortably, the KTX (Korea Train Express) is your best choice. Reaching speeds of up to 300 km/h, it connects major cities like Seoul, Busan, and Daegu in just a few hours.

Tickets can be purchased online, at stations, or through apps like Korail Talk. Prices are reasonable compared to flights, and the trains are punctual, clean, and spacious. Seating options include standard and first class, both offering comfort with wide seats and plenty of legroom.

On board, you’ll find vending machines, free Wi-Fi on many routes, and designated quiet cars. Large luggage can be stored in racks, while smaller bags fit above your seat.

The best part? You get to enjoy scenic views of the Korean countryside, mountains, and coastline without the stress of airports. For tourists, the KR Pass offers unlimited rides for a set period — a great deal if you’re exploring multiple cities.
