Travel Information
Which airport to use? (Incheon or Gimpo)
Both Incheon and Gimpo international airports have flights from China and Japan, so you can use either one of them.| Airport | Scale | Distance to Koreana Hotel | Transportation to Koreana Hotel | |
| Incheon Airport | Larger and newer | 60km |
Both taxi and limousine bus are available.
|
|
| Gimpo Airport | Smaller and older | 20km | Only taxi is available, costing around 30,000 Won (190 Yuan / 3,000 Yen). |
| (1) Take a taxi other than black-colored ones. DO NOT get a black taxi, which is twice as expensive as taxis of all other colors. |
|
(2) Bring the printout of this to show to the taxi driver |
|
|
Taking a limousine bus: Incheon Airport -> Koreana Hotel
See this instruction: ../2017/Taking_a_limousine_bus_to_Koreana_Hotel.pdf
Taking a limousine bus: Koreana Hotel -> Incheon Airport
On your way back home, you can also use the limousine bus from Koreana Hotel back to Incheon Airport. You can buy the bus ticket right at Koreana Hotel reception desk. Purchasing in advance is recommended to secure seats.| Bus stop is right in front of the hotel. |
|
There is a bus in every 20-30 minutes. |
|
After Koreana Hotel, there are three stops in downtown Seoul, the fourth (and the last) stop being Incheon Airport. |
