    💸 Is the Seoul Climate Card Worth It?

    du-lich-seoul-ve-dem
    If you’re planning to use Seoul’s public transport regularly during your trip, the Climate Card is a solid investment, especially when bundled with the Discover Seoul Pass on Klook.
    Here’s why it adds real value:

    Daily Riders Save Big

    A single subway or bus ride costs around 1,400 KRW. So if you take 3–4 trips a day, you’re already looking at 4,200–5,600 KRW daily. With the Climate Card, a 7-day pass costs around 20,000 KRW—so you’ll break even in just 4 days.

    Unlimited Transfers = Total Freedom

    You’re not limited to one type of transport. The card covers subways, buses, and public bikes, letting you explore Seoul without worrying about extra fees or topping up.

    Convenience Can’t Be Underrated

    No fumbling with T-money reloads, no calculating fare zones, and no stress. Just tap and go—especially helpful if it’s your first time in Korea or if you’re on a packed sightseeing schedule.

    2. How long is the Climate Card valid after activation?

    Your pass becomes active upon first use (tap-in) and remains valid for the chosen duration—1, 3, 5, 7, or 30 consecutive days. Time is calculated based on calendar days, not hours.

    Unfortunately, lost Climate Cards cannot be reissued. We recommend storing it safely or using the mobile version if available in the future.
