With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Dong-Gu, 30 miles away, has to offer. Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art alone justify the drive. Located 35 miles away, Seo-Gu is another popular option. If you stop by, don’t miss Yangdong Market, Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.
