With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Dong-Gu, 40 miles away, has to offer. Geumnam-ro Street ought to be high up on your list here. Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art are fantastic attractions too. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Seo-Gu, 40 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Yangdong Market. (But we’re also huge fans of Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.)
