About this itinerary
Incheon is known for its markets and long-running local eateries, which makes it a great city to eat your way through on foot. This itinerary centers on places like Gajwa Market, Geonji Park, Gamjung Park, and every meal is a short walk from the stop before it.
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 near Buyeong Park and start every day from the same place — no repacking.
Day 1: Gajwa Market, Geonji Park, Gamjung Park, Cosmo 40. Lunch at Bubu Bapsang, dinner at Sinjin-mal.
Day 2: Geobuk Market, Incheon Gangnam Market, Seoknam Sports Park, Sinseok Sports Park, Haesoo Waterpia. Lunch at Damda Sushi, dinner at Gungjeonsutbulgalbi.
Day 3: Bupyeong Complex Market, Bupyeong Market. Lunch at Eomeoni Hongdukkae Kalguksu. Then head back to Incheon Airport.
Some market stalls close by late afternoon, so earlier is better. Go a little hungry and share small plates at several places.
Times in this plan are worked out from the distance between stops and how long you stay at each one. Feel free to drop a stop or two for a slower pace. Every stop has location and directions buttons that open the map directly.
