If you’re after day-trip inspiration, we’ve got some ideas. Sitting 40 miles away, Dong-Gu is worth jumping in the car for. See the best sights beginning with Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art. 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’d also highly recommend Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.)
