Important information about your destination
Customs
Korea is a safe country where it is pleasant to travel, even at night. However, it is important to respect certain rules to integrate easily. For example, smoking is strictly prohibited in public places, except in designated areas, and fines can be high. When entering a house or certain traditional restaurants, it is imperative to remove your shoes. Social hierarchy is very important: always let elders start eating or speaking first, and use both hands to offer or receive an object, gift, or drink. It is common to avoid drinking directly "face to face" or making eye contact with an older person or authority figure. This gesture is seen as a sign of respect and humility. In public, it is appreciated to remain discreet, avoid speaking loudly, or showing too much affection. During meals, never plant your chopsticks in the rice, as this evokes funeral rites. Public transportation is very quiet and well-organized. Lastly, taste the local cuisine and always leave your table clean when leaving. With these few rules, your stay will be enjoyable and respectful of Korean traditions.
Time Difference
South Korea is located in the UTC+9 time zone without any seasonal variation, meaning there is no daylight saving time. Compared to France, this creates a time difference of 8 hours in winter and 7 hours in summer. For instance, when it's noon in France during winter, it's 8:00 PM in Korea.
Electricity and Internet Access
In Korea, electricity is stable, and the outlets use type F plugs (similar to those in France) with a voltage of 220 volts. Therefore, it's not necessary to bring an adapter if you are coming from France. Internet access is exceptionally high-speed, with one of the fastest networks in the world. Wi-Fi is prevalent and free in cafes, restaurants, hotels, and many public places. For added convenience, you can rent a portable router or purchase a local SIM card with unlimited data upon arrival. You'll stay connected hassle-free at all times!
Security
South Korea is one of the safest countries in the world, with very low crime rates. You can move around freely, even late at night, without much concern for your safety. Police presence is discreet yet effective, and many public places are equipped with surveillance cameras. However, as everywhere, it is advisable to remain vigilant against pickpockets in heavily touristed areas or crowded transportation. Koreans are respectful of others' property, and it is common to see lost items found intact. In case of emergencies, important numbers to remember are 112 for police and 119 for emergency services.
Currency
The official currency of South Korea is the South Korean won (KRW), represented by the symbol ₩ (1 euro = 1450 wons). Banknotes are available in denominations of 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 50,000 wons, while coins come in values of 10, 50, 100, and 500 wons. International credit cards (Visa, MasterCard) are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, and stores. However, it's useful to have some cash on hand for small shops, markets, or transportation. ATMs are available everywhere, but check if they accept foreign cards. Exchange rates at bureaus in major cities are generally favorable.
Languages
For a tourist in Korea, the main language is Korean, and although English is taught in schools, it is not widely spoken by everyone. In major cities like Seoul, you will find signs in English, and many young Koreans may understand basic English, but in more rural areas, it can be challenging to communicate without Korean.
Climate
South Korea has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Spring, from March to May, is mild and pleasant, ideal for enjoying cherry blossoms. Summer, from June to August, is hot and humid with frequent rains in July. Autumn, from September to November, is dry and cool, offering beautiful landscapes with autumn colors. Winter, from December to February, is cold with sub-zero temperatures and occasional snow.
Winter in Korea is rather dry due to the influence of cold, dry winds from the Siberian anticyclone, which limits precipitation during this season. Each season offers a unique experience, so it is essential to pack appropriate clothing for the period of your visit.
Food Quality
The food quality in South Korea is excellent, with a great emphasis on freshness and balance in meals. Korean meals often consist of rice, vegetables, meat or fish, along with sauces and spices that add rich and varied flavors. Koreans prioritize local and fresh produce, ensuring high-quality food. Additionally, meals are typically accompanied by several small side dishes, allowing for a wide range of flavors to be experienced in a single meal. Restaurants, whether modern or traditional, offer delicious and well-prepared cuisine, with hygiene always being a top priority. In South Korea, the culture of tea houses is prevalent, providing spaces to enjoy traditional teas while cultivating an atmosphere of calm and conviviality.
Korean cuisine, rich in spicy flavors, can be surprising for European palates not accustomed to it. It may be surprising to us, but in Korea, chopsticks and utensils are often found in an integrated drawer in the table.
Whether dining in a restaurant, a small eatery, or even in the well-known street food markets in Korea, you can be assured of finding an authentic and delicious culinary experience.
Accommodation Quality
The quality of accommodations in South Korea is generally very good, offering a wide range of options for all budgets. Luxury hotels are plentiful, especially in Seoul, with high-quality services, modern amenities, and excellent customer service. Mid-range hotels are also well-maintained, clean, and comfortable, often with modern facilities and good accessibility. There are also hanoks, which are traditional Korean houses known for their architecture harmonizing with nature and their underfloor heating system, the ondol.
Hotels are classified as 3-star, 4-star, or 5-star according to local standards. The services provided may not be equivalent to the French standards for 3-star, 4-star, or 5-star accommodations.
