Purchasing a SEOUL TRAVEL PASS will allow you to get the most bang for your buck if you plan on exploring the South Korean capital. Exclusively for foreigners, the pass will get you free admission or a discount to 96 major tourist attractions, including Gyeongbokgung Palace and Namsan Seoul Tower. Cardholders will also get discounts for performances at various venues and duty-free shops across the city.
