With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Dong-Gu, 50 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art. Seo-Gu is another great option. It’s 45 miles away and has a variety of awesome things to see and do. Yangdong Market, Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium are just the start.
