With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Dong-Gu, 40 miles away, has to offer. Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art alone make the drive out worth it. Don’t skip Seo-Gu either! Just 45 miles away, Yangdong Market, Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium are non-negotiable stops here.
