With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Dong-Gu, 25 miles away, has to offer. Geumnam-ro Street should be high up on your list here. Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art are also not to be missed. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Seo-Gu, 18 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Yangdong Market. (But we’re also big fans of Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.)
