With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Dong-Gu, 45 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art. Situated 50 miles away, Seo-Gu is another place to aim for. If you swing by, don’t miss Yangdong Market, Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.
