Useful maps of the Seoul subway system

Navigating a subway systems is fairly straight forward in most cities as few cities have complex systems. However, complex subway systems in countries where the Romanized alphabet is not used can be tricky for westerners. Hence, if you are planning a trip to Seoul in the near future, you may want to consider purchasing a Seoul rail transit map from Zero Per Zero, a South Korean based graphic design company.

On offer are three nifty subway maps in both English and Korean. These maps include a portable map that is 518 x 370 mm or 15 x 20.4 inches, a handy map that is 75 x 125 or 3 x 5 inches and a mini map that is 48 x 85 mm or 1.9 x 3.3 inches. In addition, Zero Per Zero offers rail transit maps for Osaka, Hokkaido and Tokyo (however, they tend to be in Korean and English).

All of Zero Per Zero’s map products can be purchased online from their website and prices range from 1,500 to 9,000 won or US$1.20 to US$7.20 – well worth the price of not getting lost once you get to Seoul.
