Where to stay

Find seafront hotels with staggering views in the Wolmido Tourist Zone, a great place to stay for attractions such as the Wolmi Traditional Park and nearby electrifying Wolmi Theme Park. Staying in the heart of the city in the upmarket Songdo neighborhood allows early morning walks in beautiful Central Park, with expansive open space to explore. Meanwhile, on Yeongjong Island visitors will find a more rural landscape and lovely beaches, all within close proximity to the airport and its contemporary boutique hotels.

When it's time to do some shopping several top neighborhoods make it easy, with short walks back to hotels when you're laden down with bags. Consider accommodations in the lively Bupyeong District where the Bupyeong Underground Market has hundreds of small shops and a large pedestrianized area. Find hotels with spectacular waterfront views in the Sinpo-dong neighborhood, home to Incheon's largest shopping precinct, with international brands and edgy Korean fashion for sale.

Stay in the bustling and energetic Jung District, Incheon's central historic area, to enjoy the many attractions and sights including the Dapdong Cathedral of St. Paul and Hongyemun Gate. Hotels throughout Incheon's Chinatown are the perfect choice to stay to enjoy a splash of color and tantalizing smells. This famous neighborhood began in 1883 with the opening of the nearby port and is today an integral part of the city's heritage. For those looking to escape the urban metropolis, Ganghwa Island and its pretty, upscale hotels offer tranquility and an impressive array of historic and prehistoric ruins, including the Goryeogungji Palace and Gapgot Dondae fortress.
