If you traveling in a group, you should rent a pocket wifi device with unlimited data access, only $2.16/day. With a Seoul and Jeju itinerary 5 days costs only $10.81 and surfing the web smoothly.
• T-money multi-function card to paying for tickets when taking the subway, bus, … or shopping at convenience stores. Price of $2.51. You can also top-up at the subway stations or convenience stores.
• Accommodation: I recommend you to stay in hostel to save the cost. Rest assured that the hostel is still good to stay and comfortable. The estimated cost of 2 nights in Seoul is $35, 3 nights in Jeju is $45. A list of great hostels and dorms in Seoul you can refer to.
• The cost of eating and drinking is estimated at $25/day. If you spend 5 days in Seoul Jeju itinerary, the cost of eating is about $130. I think with this money, eating is already quite comfortable. This cost may be lower or higher depending on your choice. See more the list of delicious food that you should try in Seoul.
• The cost of taking the subway to getting to other tourist attractions (except for the costs listed in the article), estimated: $65.

We have finished the 5-day trip to explore Seoul and Jeju Island with a total cost of $825 for each person. For me, the cost of such an “enjoy” trip is worth it, because we eat and play a lot. But there are some valuable experiences that we have learned after the trip, hope you do not make.

If you are going to visit many famous places, you will have to spend much money to buy entrance tickets, so we recommend you should buy Discover Seoul Pass (a multifunction card) because with this card, you will get free entrance tickets to many famous tourist attractions. Find out more about free and discounted attractions with the Discover Seoul Pass card here.

On Jeju Island, places to visit and play are often far apart, transportation can only be by bus or taxi but it takes a long time. So you can refer to the one-day tours to discover Jeju East Coast or Jeju West Coast based on the places you want to go, so there will be a shuttle bus pick up you, avoid waiting and headache for traveling but convenient and saving more time. At Klook, there are many interesting one day tours, you can refer here. Or if you do not like tour, you can rent a private car within 8 hours to be able to freely explore Jeju Island as you want.

Wish you have a happy trip with friends and relatives, take lots of memorial pictures and sharing with Living Nomads. Happy traveling!
