Prague vs Seoul

Prague

Prague has a continental climate with warm summers and cold, sometimes snowy winters. Spring and autumn are pleasant but changeable. The city looks magical in every season — sun-drenched summer evenings and snow-dusted spires both have their charm.

Seoul

Seoul has a humid continental climate with four very distinct seasons. Summers are hot and humid with a monsoon season (jangma) in July. Winters are cold and dry with Siberian air masses. Spring and autumn are short but spectacular.

Prague

Prague has excellent public transit operated by DPP (Dopravni podnik Prahy). The metro, trams, and buses all use the same ticket. A 30-minute ticket costs 30 CZK and a 24-hour pass costs 120 CZK. Buy tickets from machines at metro stations or use the PID Litacka app.

Walkability: Prague's historic center is very walkable and best explored on foot. The core (Old Town, Mala Strana, Josefov) is compact — you can walk from Old Town Square to Prague Castle in about 25 minutes. Cobblestones are everywhere so wear comfortable shoes.

Seoul

Seoul has one of the world's best public transit systems. The subway is clean, punctual, and covers virtually everywhere you need to go. Get a T-money card (reloadable transit card) at any convenience store for 2,500 KRW and load it up. It works on subways, buses, and even taxis and convenience stores.

Walkability: Seoul is moderately walkable but spread out. The historic core (Jongno, Insadong, Bukchon) is compact and pleasant on foot. Hilly terrain in some neighborhoods (Bukchon, Itaewon) can be tiring. Use the subway to cover distances between districts and walk within them.
