If you go to Itaewon Station, there is a tourism office. If you ask them, they will give you a really nice guidebook and a pretty good map along with it for free. The book was published in September, 2008, so it is up-to-date. All significant tourist spots list website addresses for more information. Information on city tours are also in the book.

I have a Korean pocket calendar/diary thing that has a very small, but detailed map of Korean cities and highways that I will be using in addition to the tourism maps as I backpack through Korea. I cut the map out to save on weight.

I think this combination of maps and information are going to be really useful and can already recommend these resources at least for planning purposes, since I've yet to depart.

Excellent, thanks for the advice

I'm wondering if there are other useful printed resources for traveling in Korea, so if you happen to know of one, please share!
