With some awesome road trip options 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, 35 miles away, has to offer. Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art alone justify the drive out here. Situated 40 miles away, Seo-Gu is another popular option. If you drop by, don’t miss Yangdong Market, Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.
