<ul class="blog-ul">
<li class="blog-li"><strong>Explore Seoul City (with caution): </strong>If you have a substantial layover (think 6+ hours) and a thirst for adventure, consider venturing into the heart of Seoul. The efficient AREX train whisks you directly from the airport to bustling areas like Myeongdong or Hongdae. Explore historical palaces like Gyeongbokgung, indulge in some street food delights like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), or simply soak up the dynamic atmosphere of Seoul.</li>
<li class="blog-li"><strong>Important Note: </strong>Factor in travel time (including security checks upon re-entering the airport) and visa requirements. Budget enough time for a comfortable exploration and ensure a smooth return to ICN for your onward flight.</li>
