With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Dong-Gu, 45 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art. Don’t miss Seo-Gu either! Just 50 miles away, Yangdong Market, Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium are non-negotiable stops here.
