2024 Incheon Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)
Incheon is a model commercial port city in South Korea. There is also a very modern and large international airport, making it a hub for transportation. The ocean waters near Incheon are scattered with small islands. Therefore, there is an abundance of marine tourism resources and quality harbor conditions. Products coming in and out of countries around the world pass through here. There is a lively degree of exchange and cooperation with most Chinese cities. You can visit to places such as Incheon’s Chinatown to take a look at historical Sino-Korean architecture, and later pay a visit to the grand Incheon Bridge. Once night falls, the bridge is brightly lit up for an entrancingly beautiful scene. The white sands of Eurwangni Beach near the Incheon International Airport is a nice place for a stroll in the sun. Wolmido Island near Incheon is a favorite weekend destination for many local residents. You can take one of the tourist boats for a ride around the island to see the beautiful scenery surrounding it in all directions.

#buffets #100waysoftravel
I was preparing to have my flight to Houston at Incheon Airport Teeminal 2, and have a 2 hour waiting time, and I have decided to visit one of the lounge called Lounge L to have my lunch over there, and to my surprise, the wide selection of food truly amazes me!!! There is a salad bar with wide ranges of vegetables and greens, fruits and sauces, and the main dish consists of Buffalo wings, sweet and sour pork, and some fried fritters. Those who prefer local delights have have choices of kimchis and banchans with rice, and some seaweed soup as well. The cakes and pastries are also excellent, and you also get to enjoy some of their wine selections. I had a very nice buffet lunch there, and my relaxing experience is awesome.

Taking kids to South Korea is not tiring at all! Sharing 3 great spots in Seoul and Incheon for a stroll with kids
I've been to Seoul many times, but it's my first time bringing a child here. This place used to be my go-to for shopping, eating, playing, and relaxing. I didn't want to get too tired this time with a child, so I unlocked a few indoor spots for a stroll. They are super fun, and both kids and adults can get a lot of joy from them. Sharing them with you.
⭐First stop, the occupational experience theme park KidZania has built a real city for the kids, scaled to how children see the world, with over 160 professions set up, such as flight attendants, firefighters, TV anchors, fashion models, clinic doctors, florist clerks, food safety officers... There are so many specialized professions, and each occupational experience lasts about 25 minutes. Kids put on cute professional outfits and are full of responsibility. After each job, they can earn a salary, pay taxes, buy gifts, and save money in the bank. Parents cannot participate in the process and can only watch through the glass window.
⭐Second stop, the dreamy world WONDERBOX is an indoor amusement park located in Incheon's paradise city. The rain outside doesn't affect the fun. The amusement park is dreamy with lights and cheerful music, with attractions like carousels, Ferris wheels, elevators, and bumper cars that are all very cute! It's very suitable for little kids to play. Before playing, the staff will measure the child's height. A child of 110 cm can play with most of the toys. The queue on weekends is not too long, and the kids have a lot of fun.
⭐Third stop, at the city's highest point SEOUL SKY, I always like to go to the highest point to see a place, as if I've found a shortcut to quickly understand a city. This is the highest point in all of Korea, reaching 555 meters, with a 360-degree panorama that takes in all of Seoul. It's on the new high of the 123rd floor, taking an express elevator from the 117th floor, then going up floor by floor on the escalator. Each floor has something fun. Kids won't feel bored and are always in a state of exploration.
The exciting start of overseas travel, Incheon Airport Terminal 2 Matina Lounge.
If you are an outbound traveler, you might start feeling excited right from the airport lounge.
The Matina Lounge in Terminal 2 of Incheon Airport offers a really diverse range of food.
If your flight does not include a meal, we recommend having a light dinner there!
[Incheon Airport Terminal 2 Matina Lounge]
Operating Hours: 7 AM - 10 PM
Location: Use the escalator next to gate 249 to go up to the second floor

Visit the first stop in South Korea and spend an artistic weekend at this hotel! For the first trip to South Korea, this art hotel near Incheon Airport is too good
A short three days and two nights allowed me to spend an incredibly comfortable weekend!
👉🏻Paradise City
⭕South Korea's TOP integrated resort, a filming location for many Korean dramas and variety shows, where you can eat, drink, play, and experience everything in one place.
⭕The hotel is only a 🖐🏻 minute drive from Incheon Airport. There is a free shuttle bus, and you can check into the hotel almost seamlessly after getting off the plane. It is an excellent choice whether as the first or last stop of your trip to South Korea.
⭕The hotel's room design is simple and elegant, and the room I stayed in had a perfect view of the sunset. Thoughtfully, the first round of mini bar drinks and snacks each day are 🆓!
⭕The entire resort actually houses over 3000 pieces of art, and there is a dedicated exhibition hall 'Art Pavilion'. This time I was fortunate enough to see the original works of Keith Haring and 'Girl with Balloon'! The entire exhibition will last until November, don't miss it if you love art!
⭕In the public area, Yayoi Kusama's iconic golden pumpkin, KAWS's 'Together' and other art works are all photogenic. Strolling around the resort is like an art exploration journey! By the way, there are two classic mask dance performances every day, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Venice.
⭕You must experience the water therapy and sauna at CIMER. The water square is a place to play with water, the infinity pool on the third floor has an amazing view, and the illusion water therapy and cave water therapy are highly recommended (I love the cave water therapy, it feels like exploring in nature). After the water therapy, it's super refreshing to go to the sauna. Not only can you play for 6 hours with a ticket, but guests can also enjoy a 30% discount!
⭕The area offers a variety of international cuisines, including Korean, Japanese, Italian, Cantonese, Thai, etc., to meet everyone's different taste needs.
⭕I have to praise the architectural design of the entire resort. Each building is quite distinctive and cleverly integrates natural light and shadow, making it very photogenic!
If you're eating at Incheon Airport, this is the place!
Hello, it's HARU🕊️🤍
This is recommended for your last meal in Korea🍽️
'가업식당 (Kaoop Restaurant)', located next to the food court in the basement of Incheon Airport.
Here we had a Bossam set meal and Tonkatsu🤤
Probably a restaurant where Bossam is the main dish, but personally, I prefer Tonkatsu❣️
Korean Tonkatsu is thinner than in Japan and it was really delicious with a sweet sauce☺️ I wonder why there were candied peanuts? lol
Bossam was also juicy and very easy to eat and delicious~🤍 Either one is a hit😍 The soup was a bit spicy🤏
For the important meal before returning home... this place is highly recommended☺️❣️
Both Tonkatsu and Bossam were really delicious and I want to eat them again🤤💗

🇰🇷 SQ Seoul Economy class
Taking the SQ611 from Incheon back to Singapore in the afternoon. As expected, taking Singapore Airlines is always a luxury and dinner is served. I check out early and take the AREX to Incheon airport. As I have check in online. I can skip the queue at the airport and proceed to Internet check in directly. This helps to save time and I can clear the immigration faster. The crew also kept refilling my drinks and offered me many snacks to keep me occupied. I am berry grateful to the crew and bring me back home safely.

Sheraton Grand Incheon Hotel
#hotelreview
I had the pleasure of staying at the Sheraton Grand Incheon hotel during of my work trips to South Korea. The hotel is old, but they have maintained the grandeur of it. Location is great, Central Park is just ahead of it with many food, shopping options nearby. There is also a huge Lotte Mart within walking distance for all your groceries and snacks. I got a room with two double beds which was plenty enough for me. Though the interior is a little faded, the room is still clean. Bed were extremely plush and comfortable and I had a good night’s sleep. Toilets were very clean as well. The staff at this hotel speaks good English, friendly and helpful. When I needed some help with directions, they were more than happy to point me the right way. All in all, Sheraton Grand Incheon is a great choice of hotel if staying in Incheon. Would recommend anyone to have a stay here.
1st western style park in Korea
#seoultrip
Very first western style park in Korea whose name has changed few times. There is a statue of 5 star General Dogulas MacAurthur. Also several other monuments as well as social club house which must be also very first in Korea.
It's located in East Incheon near the China Town. There are pretty and well organized paths. Also, there are a couple of famous monuments; the Korean-USA centennial Monument, the status of MacArthur. It's a great park.
I was walking in Chinatown when I decided to take the stairs and hence arrived at the park. It' a quiet place and there's a pavilion where you can see the port area of Incheon.
Rail bike by the water
Located on the same island as Incheon airport. Accessible by both bus and subway.
Cost varies by how many seats are needed. Came here with a friend and it took us about an hour round trip. It was nice to ride alongside the seaside on a nice day. It was not as busy during the time I went but it got busier on our way back.
We explored nearby the seaside park by walking. I think it is a different park maybe not. We rented a 4 seater bike to ride around in the park. The park itself has a place for car camping and play area for kids.
Afterwards we went into town to grab a bit and have dessert.

My fairytale 🍃🤍💚
It was like a fairytale land where everything about my fantasies, emotions, and tastes came together.
I had no time to make a reservation, but as if by magic, another week's worth of bookings opened up, and I made it just in time.
I can't believe I waited so long to visit, when I've wanted to come back in other seasons. I deeply regret my earlier indecision.
My favorite scones and desserts made by the owner himself, and his artistic touch found everywhere in the space.
Despite being busy, the small talk we shared made me feel like I was old friends with the owner 🥳💖
I plan on going back for hydrangea season 💜💙

Airport lounge in Seoul
This is the second nicest lounge I’ve been to on my opinion! This lounge is so beautiful and there is a big window with many aeroplanes!
This is the first lounge I see that serve so many different types of cup noodles and drink, they even have a beer tap for you to drink beer! What surprise me is that the bibimbap counter, you can make your own bibimbap. The best part about making your bibimbap is you can avoid what you dislike and take more of your favourite food! 🤪
I also love how they serve fried food here with tepokki, and it’s free flow! I had many shares of the fried item and teppoki :) however, I’m quite surprise that they do not serve any dessert here ( mainly ice cream), but they do have mango pudding.
Incheon Songdo hot spot cafe Forest Outings 💚
#Incheon Travel
Forest Outings, the hottest large cafe in Songdo, Incheon 🌳
It's hard to tell whether it's a botanical garden or a cafe because the landscaping inside the cafe is so well done 💚
There are various photo zones, and the cafe is so spacious that even when it's crowded, it doesn't feel stuffy 😆
The weather is getting warmer, and the outdoor terrace is now open!
How about visiting this cafe this weekend? ☕️
🌳Songdo Forest Outings
📍145 Cheongryang-ro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, Forest Outings Songdo Branch
⏰Open every day from 10:00 to 22:00
"개항백화 카페&소품샵" exudes a strong sense of retro sentiment.
The concept of the newly opened Baekhwa, located on the Dongincheon Port, is a quaint department store. It is a new space for the new project of the port. The interior design is vintage and retro, and the interior made up of flea markets is impressive. The props scattered throughout the space are well-matched with the interior design, giving the feeling of being at an exhibition. There is even a film camera vending machine at the entrance. Why not buy one and take a tour of Baekhwa? There is a public parking lot nearby, so be sure to use it. Although finding the entrance may not be easy, once you find the film camera vending machine, the entrance is right next to it. 😊

Incheon International Airport
This airport is the largest in South Korea. It is also called as Seoul-Incheon International Airport. Everything in this airport is regarded as advanced in terms of technology and design. They have very modern structural design, high ceiling, and processing for arrivals is very quick. This airport has been so praised around the world that they try to copy their systems to be more efficient in their home countries too. In fact, it belongs to the top five spot among the best airports in the world today.
Incheon Airport
This airport in Seoul Incheon holds a special place in my heart. It includes a greeting and a farewell. There are places where you can spend time while eating delicious Korean cuisine and relaxing. On the other hand, there are numerous stores where you can shop at very reasonable prices. Most parts of Korea are easily accessible by subway or bus from here. Although, it appears to be outside of Seoul, the transportation is extremely comfortable.

🇰🇷 Innisfree
Seoul is awesome for beauty shopping and here I am running errands at Innisfree. I am at Myeongdong, a great starting area for beauty products shopping. You can get an instant tax-free refund in most shops as long as you meet the minimum spending of 30000 KRW so always bring your passport with you. The prices here are generally cheaper but please do your own comparison. The sales assistants are eager to serve and they speak English. I just show them the list of items I need to buy and they are more than happy to serve me. Also remember to bring your own bag so you can contribute to the environment and use one less plastic bag. What a great start to the new year in saving the Earth.

Catch the Sunset with Seagulls
#2023travelwish
This is Wolmido Island, Incheon ~ You can take a cruise from Wolmido Island to Yeongjongdo offshore ~ During this Cruise ride, you can buy crackers and feed the seagulls. There are tons of them flying along with the cruise. It’s so cool! But of course, be careful of your head~ Watch out for bird shit 🤣 At Yeongjongdo, you can find cute cafes and seafood restaurants with great ocean view!
I wish that I can visit more islands ~

Wolmido's Disco Pang Pang 🪩
Have you ever heard of Disco Pang Pang? Its the famous crazy ride (in 2nd photo) that always go viral on tiktok or youtube. I came here for that.
Wolmido is somewhere in Incheon. They have a lot of other attractions around that area and one of it is this funfair. Its actually beside the sea but since I came here at night, can't see it. They also have a few more rides, which is so fun if you come with your friends. That disco pang pang ride is a must!!! A lot of variety shows have done shooting here.
Please enjoy your time here. You'll sure love it ☺️
