Arriving in Jongno: Airport Bus Directions in Brief

Route summary

The archived hostel profile gave a short set of directions for the Jongno-gu site, which is in the Donhwamun area close to Changdeokgung palace. As elsewhere on this site, details are historical and should be confirmed before you travel.

From Incheon airport

A limousine bus ran from the airport to the Changdeokgung stop, taking about an hour. After stepping off, walkers went a few metres forward and turned right at the first corner.

The last 200 metres

The directions described a straight walk of around two hundred metres, passing a bank branch and a car park on one side, and a convenience store and coffee shop on the other. Travellers then saw the hostel’s yellow signboard a short way ahead.

Why this area suits travellers

The streets around Changdeokgung, Insadong and Anguk station are within a short walk of several palaces and the old city. For ideas, see the half-day plan for Jongno or the airport guide. Another page covers a different arrival route.
