Goyang-si

Goyang-si sits just northwest of Seoul in Gyeonggi Province, a planned satellite city built around the vast Ilsan Lake Park and the sprawling KINTEX exhibition halls that anchor its Special Tourist Zone. It blends convention-centre modernity with green spaces and riverside walking paths, making it as much a weekend escape for locals as a MICE and concert destination for visitors.

Getting thereGoyang-si has no airport of its own, so travellers typically fly into Incheon (ICN) or Gimpo (GMP) and continue by rail: Subway Line 3 runs directly through the city from Daehwa to Jichuk, and connections from Gimpo Airport or via the AREX line to Digital Media City feed into this line. From central Seoul, buses and taxis also reach Goyang in well under an hour depending on traffic.
How long to stayA single day covers Ilsan Lake Park and KINTEX comfortably, while ~2 days allows time to add the Special Tourist Zone's malls, cafes, and any scheduled exhibitions or concerts at Goyang Stadium.
