Does anyone know if the Incheon airport offers the best exchange rate or should I wait to see if the bank I go with offers a better exchange rate.
Thanks  |

are you coming or going?
airports and hotels have the worst fees.
if you're in the US look for an American Express Bank / Travel Center. |

Bring US Dollars with you to Korea. You do not need to buy Korean Won prior to arriving here. When you arrive:
1. Change SOME money at the airport so you can survive for a few days-a week.
2. Make your way to Itaewon and use one of the many REGULATED money changers there.
In my experience the best rates are with the Itaewon money changers, then online transfers, then the airport, then hotels. |
