1.
By Airport limousine bus
The
most convenient way is to use Airport
limousine bus which we strongly recommend.
When,
you exit a gate of the terminal, you can see bus stops. You can purchase the
limousine bus ticket to ¡°Holiday Inn Seongbuk¡± or ¡°Gireum¡± for about
13,000 KRW(Won) either in cash or with credit cards at bus ticket booths. The
locations of the booths are marked on the map below (red dots). You can also
pay the fare in cash when you get on the bus.
It will
take about 80~90 minutes for buses to arrive the destinations. When you return,
please do not confuse the Gimpo airport bus stop with ICN bus stop.
1)
To Holiday Inn Seongbuk Hotel
This bus might the best choice. Please don¡¯t confuse this hotel with another
hotel, holiday inn ¡°Seoul¡±. Go to the bus stop 3B or 10A
(bound for Dobong
(Seongdong)) and make sure the destination of the bus is Holiday Inn
Seongbuk. Get off at the bus stop front of Holiday inn hotel, if you go to
the hotel. If you want to go to KIAS , you can get off at the Korea univ. station (1 stop before) and
take a taxi there (3 minutes, cost
~1900 KRW, 10 minutes by foot) Please
print out this map and show it to a taxi driver, who
will then know where you are headed.
2) To Gireum
There
is another bus available which goes to Gireum station. Go to the bus stop 3B
or 10A (bound for Jungrang (Seongbuk)) and make sure the destination of the
bus is Gireum. If you want to go to KIAS , you can take a taxi there (10
minutes, cost ~3500 KRW). Please
print out this map and show it to a taxi driver, who
will then know where you are headed.

2.
By Taxi
If you have heavy
luggage, it is suggested to take a taxi.Taxis
are plentiful and inexpensive in Korea, clean and safe. There are taxi stands
in most bus city areas, and taxis can also be hailed on the streets. There are
two different types of taxis. One is medium-sized taxi (left) and the other is
deluxe taxi (black-colored, right). In case of the former, it will cost about
70,000~80,000 Korean Won from the airport to KIAS including toll fee. In case
of deluxe taxi, it will cost approximately twice as much. It will take about 70
minutes. Avoid
using a taxi during heavy traffic jam (AM 7-9 & PM 6-8). Please
print out this map and show it to a taxi driver, who will then know where you are
headed.
3. By Subway |

system. You can reach everywhere in Seoul within 10 minutes by foot from a
subway station.

complicated to reach KIAS.
