With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Dong-Gu, 35 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art. Seo-Gu is another terrific option. It’s 40 miles away and offers a variety of fun things to see and do. Yangdong Market, Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium are only the start.
