I can see banks but i can't find the exchange rates Why? Whatever exchange rates are offered today will be different next week. It is also pretty much guaranteed that you’ll never, ever get the best exchange rates (and lowest fees) at an airport. Any airport. If you have no choice and must do that, expect to get ripped off. Just see who’s offering the least-worst deal when you arrive. In general your best option will be to withdraw local currency at an ATM. That almost always gets the prevailing exchange rate banks charge each other: much better than the retail rate offered to the public at a bank or bureau de change. The ATM fees should be lower than those charged for buying currency over the counter too. Just tell your bank beforehand you’ll be using your ATM and/or credit card in Korea so they don’t think those transactions are suspicious and block the card. FWIW I have been making interational trips for ~30 years and have almost never changed money or needed to visit a bank or bureau de change while abroad. Or used travellers cheques or bought foreign currency in advance either. 99% of the time, I’ve used cards and ATMs.
