With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Dong-Gu, 60 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. The locals are also likely to point you toward Seo-Gu, 60 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, let it be Yangdong Market. (But we’re also huge fans of Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.)
