Gangnam is the third largest neighbourhood in Seoul, Korea. It lies on the banks of the river Han and is known for being a wealthy area. Come to Gangnam to experience luxury shopping, excellent cuisine, and a buzzing nightlife (yes – you’ll hear “Gangnam Style” a few times!). The Seoul Olympic Park and historic Samneung Park are also must-see destinations.
To get from Incheon Airport to Gangnam you can take a taxi or airport bus. Taking a taxi is the easiest and fastest method of travelling. It’ll take around 1 hour to reach Gangnam and cost around €30 (KRW 44,000).
The airport bus is an option if you’d rather take public transport. The 6006 or 6009 buses will get you to Gangnam in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Tickets cost €11.50 (KRW 17,000) per person. Note that if you’re travelling with two or more people, a taxi will be easier and may be less expensive.
If you’d prefer a more luxurious experience on your way to the high-end district of Gangnam (but without the luxury prices), consider booking an Incheon Airport private transfer from a top-rated company like Welcome Pickups. You’ll have an English-speaking driver and be offered a complimentary mini tour of the city.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Seoul at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
