How do I get from Incheon Airport to Myeongdong by bus?

Take limousine bus 6001, which runs via Dongdaemun, Myeongdong, Seoul Station and Sinyongsan for 17,000 won a person (Airport Limousine, October 2026). Bags go under the bus, and the stop drops you in the shopping streets, a short walk from many hotels. At Terminal 1, buy the ticket at the booths inside the terminal next to exits 4 and 9; the Seoul buses leave from outside exits 3 to 7.

How do I get from Incheon Airport to Myeongdong by train?

Take the AREX all-stop train to Seoul Station: 4,750 won from Terminal 1 or 5,350 won from Terminal 2 by transit card (AREX, October 2026). Then change to subway Line 4 for two stops to Myeongdong, paid separately. It is the cheapest way, and the hardest with big suitcases, because the change at Seoul Station involves long corridors.

Can I walk from Seoul Station to Myeongdong?

Without bags, yes: it is roughly a 20-minute walk through Hoehyeon. With suitcases, take Line 4 for two stops, or a taxi.
