From Incheon Airport it takes about 1 hr by the AREX airport railroad. Anything within about 20 minutes on foot, you walk.
You stay all 2 nights in Bucheon and start every day from the same place — no repacking.
Day 1: Gangnam Market, Bucheon, Bucheon Planetarium and Science Hall, Dodang Park. Lunch at Sammijeong, dinner at Hana Donuts.

Day 3: Yeokgok Nambu Market, Bucheon, Yeokgok Station North Plaza. Lunch at Hongdukkae Handmade Kalguksu. Then head back to Incheon Airport.
