Travel and Transportation

The best airport to fly into is Seoul Incheon International Airport (ICN). From the airport, getting into the city is easy via airport limousine buses, taxis, or the Airport Railroad Express (AREX). Seoul also has an excellent public transportation system, making it simple to get around the city using subways and buses.

Google Map and Apple Maps do not work as effectively for directions in South Korea due to government restrictions on security data. While it can show basic, often outdated, location information and some transit routes, it lacks real-time navigation. We recommend you download local alternatives like Naver Map or Kakao Map prior to arrival. Ride share programs (like Uber and Lyft) cannot operate in Korea due to safety restrictions, however, you can requested licensed taxis in Seoul via the Uber App.

If you are traveling via subway, the venue is a about a 7 minute walk (500 meters) from Exit 3 of Anguk Station (Line 3). If you are traveling via bus, the closest available stop is the “Changdeokgung” stop, available on routes: 109, 151, 162, 171, 172, 272, 601, 7025

For local guests who are driving, there is parking available at “Hyundai Gyedong Office Building Parking Lot – “West Gate Entrance” (closest option) as well as Anguk Station Exit 4 Parking Lot.

Additionally, please note that beginning January 1, 2027, US travelers will need a Korean - Electronic Travel Authorization K-ETA to travel to South Korea. For travelers from the US, we recommend you review the travel requirements and advisories on the State Department website.
