Incheon

Korea's gateway port city, right beside the international airport — a mix of a historic open-port quarter, breezy island beaches and the ultra-modern Songdo district. An easy first or last stop.

Getting there & around

From Incheon Airport — The airport is in Incheon itself (Yeongjong Island). The AREX train links it to Incheon's city area and to Seoul; for the old port, it's a short ride or transfer.

From Seoul — Take subway Line 1 straight to Incheon Station (old port area), about 70 minutes, ~₩2,000 with T-money. For modern Songdo, use the Suin-Bundang or Incheon Line 1. No KTX or intercity bus needed.
