• Customized tourist passes for international tourists and short-stay domestic visitors to access eco-friendly transportation innovations
• With affordable pricing of 1-day pass (5,000 KRW), 2-day pass (8,000 KRW), 3-day pass (10,000 KRW), and 5-day pass (15,000 KRW), the card enables a budget-friendly Seoul tour.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) announced that starting from Jul. 1, 2024, it will launch the Climate Card Tourist Pass for international tourists and short-stay Korean visitors to Seoul.

The ‘Climate Card Tourist Pass’ prices are 5,000 KRW for a 1-day pass, 8,000 KRW for a 2-day pass, 10,000 KRW for a 3-day pass, and 15,000 KRW for a 5-day pass. These passes will allow unlimited use of Seoul’s public transportation during the selected period at a low cost, making it an economical and convenient service for tourists who typically use public transportation two to three times per day.

Starting in July, international tourists can purchase a physical Climate Card Tourist Pass from various distributors: Tourist Information Center in Seoul Tourism Plaza (Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jongno-gu), Myeongdong Tourist Information Center, customer safety center in subway stations on lines 1 to 8, and convenience stores near subway stations. Users can choose the fare type that suits their schedule and top up the pass at machines installed at stations in Lines 1 to 8 (Seoul Metro), Line 9, Sillim Line, and Ui-Sinseol Line.

While the 1, 2, 3, and 5-day passes can also be charged onto the existing Climate Card, unlike the 30-day pass which allows the user to select a start date within 5 days of charging, these passes activate immediately on the day of charging, requiring careful planning by the user.

In addition, tourist pass users can also benefit from the same discounts for cultural and performance facilities that are applied to the Climate Card, such as 50% off admission to the Seoul Science Center and Seoul Grand Park.
