Incheon 인천광역시
Where you land. Chinatown, Songdo and island ferries.
6 places · 3 of them are what locals go for rather than what tour lists recommend
What to see
Sights and landscapes worth the trip out.
- Songdo Central Park송도센트럴파크where locals goYeonsu
Where to eat
Markets, restaurants and the café streets locals use.
- Incheon Chinatown인천차이나타운Jung-gu
Where jjajangmyeon was invented. One subway ride from Seoul.
Getting there and around
Stations, terminals and airports — the skeleton of any plan.
- Incheon Airport (ICN)인천국제공항Jung-gu
AREX express reaches Seoul Station in 43 minutes; the all-stop train is half the price.
- Incheon Station인천역Jung-gu
- Incheon Bus Terminal인천종합터미널where locals goNamdong
Where to stay
Neighbourhoods, not hotels. Hotels change; a good base doesn't.
- Stay: Songdo송도 숙박where locals goYeonsu
Newest hotels and 20 minutes from the airport — useful for an early flight, dull otherwise.
How this list is put together
Everything here is a place we can vouch for, with coordinates we checked. We don't scrape rankings or pad the list to look complete, which is why some regions are short — they grow as we can verify more. The "where locals go" tag means Koreans go for their own reasons, not because a guidebook sent them.
Distances and routes are handed to Naver Map rather than estimated here. Korea has no public transit routing API, and an invented travel time is worse than none.
