To get to Seoul
it’s either via AREX airport train or bus
there are buses to most visitor-concentrated areas
bus fare costs 10,000 won per trip
or you may directly grab a T-money card
at 7-11 upon arrival
it costs 2,5000 won
and directly top up like 20,000 won
so that you may use it directly on the airport bus
the buses are right outside
at the same ground level
the bus will make a few stops along the way
the destination will be pre-announced
and you have to press the bell to
notify the driver
before departure
if you have luggage at the compartment
they actually distribute a luggage label to you
and once you are alighting
just hand it to the driver and
he would help you out with the luggage
a more specific guide below is about
how to get to this Hyundai Residence
which I was staying
all I can say is..
it’s highly recommended
details in another post
from the airport
take bus 6015
and alight at (Best Western) Kukdo Hostel
a.k.a. Euljiro 4-ga station
from there,
Hyundai Residence is within walking distance
Route 01 （Recommended)
1. From Kukdo Hotel, walk straight ahead
2. You will see Euljiro 4-ga station exit 10, 9
3. Cross the road
4. You will see Euljiro 4-ga station exit 8, 7
5. Walk straight along some home-decors shops
6. You will come across an entrance to a market
7. Cross through Chungbu market (it’s clean!!)
8. At the cross-road, walk straight
9. Will see Hyundai Residence after the 1st 7-E
Route 02
but there are more road-crossing and turns
1. From Kukdo Hotel, walk straight ahead
2. You will see Euljiro 4-ga station exit 10, 9
3. Cross the road
4. You will see Euljiro 4-ga station exit 8
5. Turn right and along some furniture shops
6. At the junction, where Biz Hotel is
7. Cross the road towards Biz Hotel
8. Turn left and walk along some shops
9. At the T-junction, where Chungbu Market is
10. Turn right into the small lane
11. Will see Hyundai Residence after the 1st 7-E
* The #8 box on the left-bottom corner is
Chungmuro Station for line 3 & 4
may catch a shuttle bus 02 in front of Popeye’s
i.e. exit 2 of Chungmuro Station to
Namsan Park / N Seoul Tower
this is how the junction of Biz Hotel looks like
in case you prefer Route #2
but again
Chungbu / Jungbu market
is really a walkable and much easier route
the final junction right before
reaching Hyundai Residence
a local restaurant
not sure what does it serve as
there is no menu or whatsoever
but a local favourite
many huge cars were parked nearby
some illegally just to eat here
ideally I should end this post
with a snap of Hyundai Residence
captioned, here you are
but I doubt I even have one
no worries
anyway, in short
once you see
Chungbu Market / Jungbu market
and this Granny’s restaurant right oppsite
you are just steps away from Hyundai Residence
