With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Dong-Gu, 30 miles away, has to offer. Geumnam-ro Street ought to be high up on your list here. Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art are interesting attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you toward Seo-Gu, 35 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Yangdong Market. (But we’re also huge fans of Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.)
