Near to Seoul and airport, beautiful coastal scenery
Con
There is nothing to do on the island itself.. You're better off going to the mainland and Seoul to see places..
In a nutshell
Incheon is an extension of Seoul with it being the main sea and airport.
Ewingjr98 Says: Wolmi-do, or Wolmi Island, is not really an island anymore, but is connected to mainland Incheon forming a peninsula. This peninsula was the central point of the Incheon Invasion during the Korean War (there were three landing beaches: one at Wolmi-do, one to the north, and...

New Terminal: Incheon International Airport
victorwkf Says: When I was at Incheon International Airport in November 2008, the new terminal has started in operation. In order to each the new terminal, you need to check-in through the immigration and then take a skytrain linking the two terminals. The new terminal is big and there are...

Ewingjr98 Says: Wolmi-do is famous for its raw fish restaurants which number around 50. These are located all along the water's edge in Wolmi-do facing the airport and the West Sea. I especially enjoyed the circular restaurant that hangs out over the water on the seawall at the northern end...
kranstonakov Says: When in Korea, Galbi is a must for any visitor. You choose a selection of meats which are brought to the table raw and you cook them in a small fire in the middle of the table. In Bupyeong there are several 'Donenu' galbi restaurants, they are a chain and seem to keep the...
Woodstaock is an institution among the expat community in Incheon. It is a small place with great decor and staff. It is situated right in the heart of Central Bupyeong and is the perfect place to relax and watch the world go by. It is a western bar so it's a case of going up to the bar and getting a pint. In the summer you can sit out in the treet, in the winer you can hold up inside and keep warm. Great beer, great people, great place.
Dress Code: whatever the weather permits

Address: Central Bupyeong
Ewingjr98 Says: Incheon Airport is the gateway to Korea. It is located an hour west of Seoul, on an island outside of Incheon. Incheon is a beautiful, modern airport that opened in 2002, just in time for the World Cup. Incheon's 35 million passengers per year makes it the eighth busiest...
Incheon Subway & Airport Express Train
Ewingjr98 Says: Incheon is located at the end of Seoul Subway Line 1, so is easily accessible from Seoul. Incheon also has its own subway line that runs north/south intersecting Line 1 at Bupyeong Station. Subway trains run every 6 to 10 minutes on weekdays from about 5am to midnight. From...
salisbury3933 Says: There are two AREX services, one which goes non-stop from Incheon Airport to Seoul station, and the other that stops at all stations. Unseo is 2 stops from the airport. From the station it is a short walk to the hotels.
The most beautiful apt since the JFK TWA terminal
etfromnc Says: The most beautiful airport which I have ever seen was the almost nine-year-old airport at Inchon in South Korea which serves Seoul and (at least indirectly) all of South Korea. This airport, designed by Fentress Architects of Denver, Colorado. Not everyone agrees with me...
Ewingjr98 Says: A Tourist Information Booth is located just outside Incheon Subway station to the left. Look for the big, brown "i". The workers here are very friendly and helpful. They provided us with plenty of maps and directions, and got us on the right buses to visit Wolmi-do and the...
victorwkf Says: If there are a few persons travelling together or if there is no constraint on your budget, then you can take a taxi from Incheon International Airport to Seoul. There are lots of taxis waiting outside the arrival hall, but do note that the cost is expensively (at least...

Helpfulness
It is important to note that there are two airports in the Seoul region, namely Incheon International Airport and Gimpo Airport (just like Narita Airport and Haneda Airport in the Tokyo area of Japan).
International flights are normally at Incheon International Airport (except for some flights to Japan, I was told). Gimpo Airport is mainly for domestic flights within South Korea and is located on the mainland nearer to Seoul (in fact you can see Gimpo Airport from afar when you travel from Seoul to Incheon International Airport).
There is an expressway linking the two airports and also an airport bus which travel between the two airports. Important thing to check is which airport is your flight.

Gyeangsan is the highest point in Incheon, but at 1,300 feet its no mount Everest. It is however a beautiful place which should not be missed. The walk takes about 1 hour 30 minutes and is a little challenging towards to summit. On a clear day you can see the whole of the City, into Seoul proper and right out to sea. There is an ancient fort from the Joellsa dynasty on the way up and it makes a great way to spend a morning. It is busy at weekends so try to go midweek if at all possible.
Take the Incheon Subway towards Gyeang and get off at Gyesan station. The mountain's trail starts across the road from the station, you can't miss it. There are restaurants nearby to fill up on energy after your hike.

Sindo island is the quiet place to live. But, we visited there for Full House.
