About Shalom Korea
An independent, non-commercial guide for Israeli travelers to Korea.
What this is
Shalom Korea gathers the practical things an Israeli visitor needs in one place — getting around, SIM and money, emergencies and useful Korean — alongside guidance for observant travelers: kosher food, the Chabad house, Shabbat and holiday planning. The goal is simple: land in Korea already knowing how things work.
Please verify before you rely on it
This guide is maintained by travelers, not by any authority. Details that change — addresses, phone numbers, hours, prices, kosher certification and entry rules — must be confirmed with official sources or the Chabad house before you depend on them. Where you see a 'sample' note, treat it as a starting point, not a final answer.
