FAQ

QHow much does a 3-day trip to Paju cost?
TripGogo team

For this itinerary, budget about ₩175,000 per person (sharing a double room). On a tight budget it's around ₩87,000; for a more comfortable trip, about ₩388,000. That covers hotel, meals, admission and transport within Korea (flights not included). See the budget table above for the breakdown.

QHow do I get from Incheon Airport to Paju?
TripGogo team

Take the AREX airport railroad — about 1 hr in total. Day 1 starts at the arrival station or terminal, and the last day ends back there. You can book tickets straight from the buttons in the itinerary.

QCan I get around Paju without a car?
TripGogo team

Yes. 12 legs of this itinerary are on foot, and you ride a bus or subway at most 4 times a day — mostly to and from the hotel or station. Taxis are an easy backup for any leg.

QDo I need cash in Paju?
TripGogo team

Most restaurants and shops take cards, including many foreign cards, but some market stalls are cash-only, so carry a little cash. For buses and subways, a T-money transit card (sold at convenience stores) is the easiest.

QCan I customize this itinerary?
TripGogo team

Yes. Tap "Edit in My Itinerary" to change dates, group size or stops — travel times and the budget are recalculated for free.
