Myeongdong
How to get to Myeongdong: Myeongdong Station(), line 4, exit 6 or Euljiro 1-ga Station (
), line 2, exit 5
Myeongdong is a famous shopping district of Seoul and mega tourist hot spot. Sure, taking Seoul line
number 4 to Myeongdong Station and getting out at exit 6 will get you to the heart of Myeongdong, but
you can also take line number 2 and get off at Euljiro 1-ga Station. This can be better if youre going to or
coming from other popular places to hang out in Seoul (Hongdae, Gangnam, Shinchon, Coex, etc.).
Leave exit 5 of Euljiro 1-ga Station and keep walking until you see the entrance to Myeongdong on your
left.

Hongdae Station
How to get to Hongdae: Hongdae University Station (), line 2, exit 9 or Sangsu Station (
), line 6, exit 1 or 2
Hongdae is a poppin college town with tons of restaurants, bars, clubs, cafes, shopping streets, and
anything else you can think of. Some people are totally logical and can figure out on their own that going
to Hongdae Station (line 2, exit 9) will get you to the main Hongdae area. But only do savvy Korea
travelers know that Sangsu Station (line 6, exit 1 or 2) will get you to the heart of Hongdae just as fast.
Sangsu Station is a good option if youre headed to or coming from another Seoul hang out spot,
Itaewon.

Gangnam Station
How to get to Gangnam Station: Gangnam Station(), line 2, exit 10 & exit 11 or Sinnonhyeon
Station (), line 9, exit 5 & exit 6
Gangnam Station is huge and there are tons of places to hang out, but the majority of the hanging out is
done out of Gangnam Station, line 2, exits 10 and 11. Thats where all the restaurants and bars are. But if
youre coming from Incheon or somewhere from north west Seoul, line number 9 (exits 5 & 6) might be
the better option to getting to Gangnam. You might save a transfer, and you also might get there quicker
as theres also an express train. Itll get you to the same general restaurant and bar area.

Gyeongbokgung
How to get to Gyeongbokgung: Gyeongbokgung Station (), line 3, exit 5 or Gwanghwamun
Station (), line 5, exit 2
Gyeongbokgung is a historical Seoul tourist attraction that tons of people find by taking line number 3 to
Gyeongbokgung Station. Itll get you straight to the gate; it is extremely straightforward. But if you want to
kill two Seoul tourist attraction birds with one stone, you can also get off at Gwangwamun Station (line 5,
exit 2). Although the station is a few minutes farther than Gyeongbokgung, theres a few other Seoul
tourist attractions, such as Cheonggyecheon and Gwanghwamun Square, you can see before or after
your trip to Gyeongbokgung.

Insadong
How to get to Insadong: Anguk Station (), line 3, exit 6 or Jonggak Station (), line 5, exit
3
Insadong is a Seoul sightseeing attraction because of the traditional Korean cultural experience that can
be found (i.e. Korean crafts, antiques, art, tea houses, etc.). Most places on the internet will tell you that
Insadong can be accessed via Anguk Station (line 3, exit 6). But what local Koreans know is that you can
save a transfer if youre already on line 5. You can get off at Jonggak Station for a short little walk over to
Insadong. If you are taking this alternative route to Insadong, you can also check out Jonggak, a
centuries year old bell that is set in the middle of Seouls modern office buildings.

COEX
How to get to COEX: Samseong Station (), line 2, exit 5 or Bongeungsa Station (), line
9, exit 7
The largest underground mall in the world, COEX Mall, was just recently renovated. It now includes some
of the most popular restaurants in Seoul along with popular domestic fashion brands. Along with the
renovation also came a new subway station. Originally, the only subway access was through Samseong
Station, (Line 2, Exit 5). But if you get off of Exit 7 of Bongeunsa Station (line 9), youll now also be able
to reach COEX as well. This is a great option if youre coming from northwestern Seoul as the express
train will get you there quickly. Also, you can stop by one of Seouls most beautiful temples Bongeungsa
Temple (Exit 1) before heading to COEX.

HOW TO GO TO NAMI ISLAND BY TRAIN FROM MYEONGDONG STATION
The journey from Myeongdong Station to Gapyeong Station where Nami Island is located will take about

Train Route from Myeong-dong Station to Gapyeong Station (Nami Island).

This train journey from Myeongdong to Gapyeong will cost you KRW 1950 (T-Money Card) or KRW2050
(Cash) one way.
Once you are at Gapyeong Station, you need to take a short taxi trip (costs about KRW2500-3000) to get
to the ferry wharf to Nami Island. You could also walk but it will take you 20-30 minutes and the direction
to the ferry wharf is not straight forward. Local bus is also available if you are willing to wait a bit.
Once arriving at the ferry wharf, proceed to the ticket booth to buy your "Entry Visa" to Nami Island which
costs KRW8,000, which includes ferry to and from Nami Island and, of course, entry to Nami Island.
That's it. A simple guide to get to Nami Island from Myeong-dong Station by train. Sounds
complicated at the first look but this is the flexible way to get to Nami Island from Myeong-dong. Unlike
bus trip which has only one departure and return time, you can depart and return to Myeongdong at
anytime of the day you want. However, if you prefer less hassle of changing train line, try taking a bus...
