We had a 10-hour layover in Inchon Airport and discovered that they offer in-transit travelers a variety of tours of varying lengths to Seoul and other areas—even one to the North Korean border-- free of charge. We took advantage of this amazing opportunity and had a wonderful English-speaking guide who gave us much history and cultural background as we traveled through beautiful countryside and the outskirts of Seoul to Jeondeungsa Temple (oldest Buddhist Temple in Korea—built in the late 4th C—rebuilt 13th C). The grounds, with many small temples, shrines, and bells, were magical and the chanting of the monks generated such a peaceful atmosphere. There was also a lovely teahouse and gift shop. We also stopped at the Deokjinjin Fortress, a beautiful temple-like structure mounted high atop the cliffs, with amazing views of the river below. This structure was a strategic point of the outer castle wall used for defending the Ganghwa Straits during the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392), the French invasion (1866), and the American invasion (1871). If you ever find yourself with time in Inchon Airport, take advantage of this amazing opportunity!

We decided to stay in Seoul for two nights on our way home. Rather than carry heavy bags around the city we booked a hotel in Onseo which is close to the airport. We bought T-money cards at the airport which meant we could initially use the AREX all stop train to get to our hotel (10 minute journey). The next 2 days we used then AREX alll stop train to get in and out of Seoul from Onseo (40 minutes each way) and do all of our sightseeing. The T-money card could also be used on the subway so it meant getting around the city was easy, it is also very cheap. AREX was clean and quick with plenty of space for suitcases so it was perfect for us.

This 21 km long bridge connecting mainland and airport island, it takes about 20 minutes to pass , with toll gate of 20USD fee. So flagging taxi to and from airport,it's luxurious transportation but extremely expensive. The bridge run in east west direction so it's picturesque of korean sea on clear sky days.Unfortunately, it's foggy and cold freezy day during my visit.

A memorial to the U.S. landing led by Gen. Douglas MacArthur's that led to the liberation of Seoul.
Reviewed By Jakecosmosaller - Alexandria, United States
another must visit site to understand one of the most important events of the Korean war. Close to Walmido and China town and a good place to take a walk if you are stuck at immigration which is a ten minute walk away. get off at Incheon station on the Seoul Incheon number 1 line about one hour from downtown Seoul. there are airporter buses that take you to Walmido - the subway ride from the airport is a bit incovenient multiple transferes.

If you have a 12 hour layover, the airport has plenty to see. There is a small museum like shop as well. They have special events too; but maybe not now due to COVID19. Very well decorated. Shops were open; unlike Bangkok.
