Yes — all stations display names in Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese. Announcements are made in all four languages. Station numbering (e.g. 533 for Gyeongbokgung on Line 5) makes navigation straightforward without knowing Korean characters.
Regular Metro runs until approximately 1am. Night bus routes (labelled N + number) then cover major corridors until morning. Taxis are widely available and relatively affordable compared to Western cities — a common option after the last train.
Line 3 (orange) has a stop called Gyeongbokgung (station 327) directly at the palace main gate. For Myeongdong shopping, use Line 4 (blue) to Myeongdong station. N Seoul Tower is accessible via Line 4 to Chungmuro, then a cable car.
