With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Dong-Gu, 60 miles away, has to offer. Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art alone make the drive out worth it. Don’t forget about Seo-Gu either! Just 55 miles away, Yangdong Market, Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium are non-negotiable stops here.
