With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Dong-Gu, 50 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art. Situated 50 miles away, Seo-Gu is another popular destination. If you visit, make sure you check out Yangdong Market, Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.
