A Discover Seoul Pass (DSP) is the best way for tourists to visit and explore Seoul’s major tourist attractions. With the pass in your hand, you no longer have to worry about what to do in Seoul or where to go for fun in the city. DSP is the answer. A DSP is a multi-free pass that offers free admission to key tourist attractions, discounts from additional services and attractions, and transit card (Tmoney) functions. Let’s look at some more details of the DSP that has become a must for international visitors to Seoul.
Overview
The DSP is sponsored by most landmark sites in Seoul. All you have to do is choose from them according to the time you have got to visit Seoul. Get free admission or discounts at a total of 105 key tourist attractions with a 24h, 48h or 72h card, or mobile pass.
Where to Buy
You can buy a DSP online at the DSP website or a licensed seller’s website as well as offline stores. Should you want to receive a physical card, you can pick one up only at one of three designated locations. For example, suppose you purchase a DSP via the DSP website. You select the date and the location where you want to pick up your card. Following payment, you get a voucher online, which you will show at the location to receive your DSP. The designated locations where you can pick up a physical DSP are Incheon International Airport, Gimpo International Airport and Myeongdong Tourist Information Center.
A DSP has an additional transportation card function (except the BTS Special Edition DSP). Charge it and try the city’s famous and incredibly easily public transportation such as buses, subway and taxis. Additionally, you can use the Tmoney function not only in Seoul but also anywhere else in the country. The DSP also comes with the benefit of a one-way free ride on AREX linking the Incheon International Airport to downtown Seoul. DSP enables you to discount benefits at various performances and duty-freeshops even after it has expired.
DSP Benefits
The biggest benefit of the DSP is free entry or discounts at a total of 105 major tourist attractions in Seoul. Examples of the major historical attractions included in the benefits package are four major royal palaces in Seoul, UNESCO World Heritage-listed Jongmyo Shrine, and Seodaemun Prison History Hall where you can learn a lot about the country’s modern history. You can also get discounts at many cultural attractions in Seoul such as the National Museum of Contemporary Art, N Seoul Tower, and SM TOWN. Without a DSP, you have to pay a sizeable amount of money for those attractions. A DSP saves you tons of money.
