Pros & Cons of Airport Bus
The airport bus is ideal if you have a large amount of luggage, don’t want transfers, or want the easiest way to get to Gangnam from Incheon Airport. That said, it is not ideal for budget travelers.
Vantagens:
- Direct: requires no transfers
- Offers storage for large luggage
- Has comfortable seats
Desvantagens:
- Is slightly more expensive than the train + subway combo.
- Traffic can increase travel time.
Táxi – Best For Families & Late Arrivals
A táxi is the easiest way to get to your destination. Taking a taxi is especially recommended if you are traveling with your family, in groups, or arriving late at Incheon International Airport. While night buses are available, I recommend taking a taxi after midnight for convenience and to reach your destination faster (the bus makes multiple stops, causing a delay). If you want to book a taxi, this International Taxi Service website refers to Seoul City’s official foreign-language taxi service here: http://www.intltaxi.co.kr/
Taxi Fare from Incheon Airport to Gangnam
The taxi fare from Incheon airport to the Gangnam area is around 70,000 a 100,000 KRW ($ 45.29- $ 64.7), and it takes about 70 to 90 minutes. (The fare and time can be varied by the traffic.) Though it costs more than the other options, the taxi fare in Korea is still not that high compared to other cities.
Where to Get a Taxi at Incheon Airport
Na plataforma 4C do outro lado das paradas de ônibus do aeroporto, você pode pegar um táxi internacional no Terminal 1.
Para Táxi Internacional, você pode ir para a plataforma 1C no Terminal 2.
Táxi Jumbo: A Better Alternative For Bigger Groups
If you have 3 or more people in your group, I recommend choosing a Táxi Jumbo. This is an affordable private airport taxi service, with the fare falling around 90,000 – 120,000 KRW ($58.23-$77.64). The price varies by area in Seoul. Aqui você encontra você pode verificar o preço de uma van particular para destinos populares como Myeongdong, Hongdae e Gangnam.
Pros & Cons of Taxi
If you are traveling with children or your group has more than three people, it’s best to hail a taxi. It is also most convenient, especially if you land at Incheon Airport late at night.
Vantagens:
- Offers a door-to-door service with no stops or transfers.
- Is the most comfortable option for families and groups.
- Taxis are available 24/7.
Desvantagens:

Trem (AREX) – For Budget Travelers
O AREX + Metrô combo is the best way to get to Gangnam from Incheon International Airport for solo and budget travelers. While a bit lengthy and may appear slightly inconvenient, the fare for train and subway combined starts from 4,850 KRW ($3.14), nearly four times cheaper than that of the airport limousine bus. This alone makes the long journey and transfer between stops worth it.
If you want to take the train to Gangnam Station and Shinnonhyun Station, be aware that they are on different subway routes. Gangnam Station is on the Seoul metro line number 2 (green line), while the Shinnonhyun Station is on line number 9 (brown line) at the transfer from AREX (Airport Railroad).
You can easily find the Airport Railroad (AREX) sign at Incheon Airport. To get to Gangnam, go downstairs and buy a ticket first at the ticket office or vending machine, which looks like the following:
Rota para Gangnam
To get to Gangnam Station, you have to transfer from AREX (Airport railroad) to the subway line no. 2 at the Hongik University Station.
Os passageiros podem escolher entre All-Stop e Express trains if they decide on AREX. Because the Express train operates only between Incheon Airport and Seoul Station, hop aboard an All-Stop train if your destination is Hongdae to transfer.
Tempo e tarifa
It takes around 60 minutes from ICN Terminal 2 to Hongik Univ. Station with AREX and another 40 minutes to Gangnam Station with Seoul Metro Line 2. The fastest train platform to transfer from AREX to Line 2 is 5-4. The fare for an All-Stop train from ICN to Hongik Univ. Station is 4,750 KRW ($3.07), while the metro fare is around 1,250-1,350 KRW ($0.81-$0.87), roughly totalling to 6,000 KRW ($3.88). Super cheap, isn’t it ;)?
AREX + Subway Route To Sinnonhyeon Station

It takes around 44 minutes from ICN Terminal 2 to Gimpo Airport Station with AREX (3,750-4,150 KRW) and another 33 minutes to Sinnonhyeon Station with Seoul Metro Line 9 (1,850 KRW). The total fare is around 4,850 KRW ($3.14).

Alugar um carro

Common Mistakes Travelers Make While Getting To Gangnam From Incheon Airport
First-time visitors often make these travel mistakes while traveling from ICN to Gangnam:
- Boarding the AREX Express Train
This is a classic mistake; travelers often choose the AREX Express train for its speed, not knowing it doesn’t stop near Gangnam. The Express train runs from ICN to Seoul Station, after which you will need to transfer to the Seoul Metro. Instead, choose the AREX All-Stop train, which stops at Gimpo Airport.
- Forgetting about transferring to the Seoul Subway
If you are taking the AREX train, you will have to transfer to the subway Line 2 or Line 9 to reach Gangnam. You can’t take a direct train from the ICN to Gangnam.
- Assuming every airport bus stops at Gangnam Station
Only specific airport buses like 6009 and 6703 provide direct access to Gangnam Station from ICN. Other buses have distinct destinations and do not stop in Gangnam.
- Taking the Shuttle Train in Terminal 1
Unless you are sure about your gate, do not take the “free shuttle” from Gates 101-132. It is a one-way route with no return.
- Not checking your hotel’s location
Make sure to check whether your booked accommodation is closer to COEX, Yeoksam, or Sinnonhyeon. Gangnam is the third-largest district in Seoul, so you need to know whether to take the subway to Gangnam, Yeoksam, or Sinnonhyeon station.
