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!

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.
