About this itinerary
Yeongdong has neighborhoods full of good cafés, like Mulhan Gyegok, Minju Jisan, Yeongdong Yeongguksa Temple. This itinerary slots cafés in as breaks between meals and leaves time to wander the streets around them.
From Incheon Airport it takes about 4 hr 40 min by AREX and an express bus. Anything within about 20 minutes on foot, you walk.
You stay all 2 nights in Yeongdong and start every day from the same place — no repacking.

Day 2: Yeongdong Yeongguksa Temple, Galgisan, Yeongdong Blue Wine Farm, Yeongdong Bidangang Forest Village. Lunch at Cheongsan Restaurant, dinner at Oasis Garden.
Day 3: Gangseonjae. Lunch at Donghaebadahoetjip. Then head back to Incheon Airport.
Popular cafés fill up on weekend afternoons — mornings and weekdays are calmer.
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.
