I strongly recommend taking the airport limousine bus.

The limousine bus system is well organized, fast and easy.
Plenty seats and free wi-fi are available on board.

There are two types of buses that go to Dongdaemun from the airport.
Bus 6001 is a premium class one and bus 6002 is a regular one.
You can take them from the same platformts: platform 5B and 12A.
See below for locations of platforms.





If you’ve exited from Gate A or B or C

Find exit no 5 or 6, platform 5B will be right ahead.

There’s a ticket booth in front of platform 5B. Here, you can purchase tickets to ride bus 6001 (KRW 14,000) or 6002 (krw 10,000). You can pay for the tickets in either KRW or USD.


OR

You can pay the driver directly with cash, but in Korean WON only.

OR

You can purchase a T-money card.

You can pay for most transportation with T-money card in Seoul. Using T-money, you get a discount of KRW 100 on bus or subway. You can also use T-money to pay for cabs and the limousine bus. Below are different designs and types of T-money. T-money cards are available from most convenient stores and you can ask to recharge the amount at most convenient stores, subway stations and designated booths dear bus stops.

Taking taxi from Airport to Dongdaemun is not cheap but it's the easiest, laziest way to get there.

Exit from the gate.

Cross the road. You can see taxi stands across the road.

This is where you can get a taxi.

But this isn’t all. There are a few things you should know about Korean cabs. There are three types of taxis: regular cabs, black cabs, big black cabs.

Regular cab	Black cab	Big black cab
Minimum Fare : KRW 2,400 Feature : Free interpretation service using pickup phone Vehicle Type : Sedan Color : Orange(Seoul), Silver(Gyeonggi-do) Est. fare to Seoul Citi Hall: KRW 40,000(Minus highway toll fee) *May differ depending on traffic situation	Minimum Fare : KRW 4,500 Feature : Hospitality, free interpretation service Vehicle : Large sedan Color : Black Est. fare to Seoul Citi Hall: KRW 80,000(Minus highway toll fee) *May differ depending on traffic situation	Minimum Fare : KRW 4,500 Feature: Hospitality, lots of room to store luggage Vehicle : Van Color : Black Est. fare to Seoul Citi Hall: Same as black cab but surcharge may be added for extra luggage or persons

Which type of cab should you take?

1. We’re two people group travelers with not too much luggage. We know little Korean. We don’t want to too much money on the road. = regular cab

2. I don’t have too much luggage but I’m loaded with cash. = black cab

3. I’m carrying a lot of baggage and traveling with more than two people. =big black cab (you can’t fit a football team in the cab tho)

Once you're on the cab and the drive doesn't understand your pronunciation and you can't be bothered to use the interpretation kit, copy and past below and show it to the cab driver.

'동대문운동장역 가주세요. 그리고 바가지요금 싫어요.'

=Take me to the Dongdaemun Stadium Station(old name of the station cab drivers are more familiar with). I don't like to get ripped off.
