About this itinerary
Suwon 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 Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation Art Hall (Former Dasan Hall), Hyowon Park Wolhwa Garden, Gumaetan Market, 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 Na Hye-seok Street and start every day from the same place — no repacking.
Day 1: Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation Art Hall (Former Dasan Hall), Hyowon Park Wolhwa Garden, Gumaetan Market, Na Hye-seok Street. Lunch at Songhwa Yangkkochi, dinner at Macho.
Day 2: Suwon Olympic Park, Withers D Park, Gwonseon Comprehensive Market, Suwon Agricultural & Fisheries Products Wholesale Market, Cheongjung Park Water Playground. Lunch at Milal Cheong Naengmyeon, dinner at Cheongmyeong Jjukkumi Grill.
Day 3: Nammun Rodeo Market, Paldalmun Market. Lunch at Chef's Suite. 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.
