Main Entrances#

The center and hall you use depend on the event. Always check whether your ticket says Exhibition Center 1 or Center 2, along with the hall number. The two centers are only a 3–5 minute walk apart, so a wrong turn is easy to fix, but confirm ahead if your entry time is tight.

Public Transit#

• GTX-A: KINTEX Station (킨텍스역) Exit 4 or Exit 5 opened on December 28, 2024. From Seoul Station (서울역) it takes about 16–17 minutes with no transfers, currently the fastest route from Seoul to KINTEX (approx. 10-minute walk from the station).
• Subway Line 3: Daehwa Station (대화역) Exit 2 is recommended. The older routes via Daehwa or Juyeop Station (주엽역) still work, requiring about a 20-minute walk or a short bus transfer.
• Bus: Routes stop at different locations around the venue. Choose the stop closest to your hall:

Waiting and Eating Before the Show#

Around KINTEX, districts like Lafesta (라페스타) and Western Dom (웨스턴돔) offer restaurants and cafes. They are handy for combining a meal with pre-show waiting, and the indoor space means the weather matters less. If you have two hours or more to kill and want to skip the crowds, Bamridan-gil (밤리단길) is a 10–15 minute taxi ride away.

• Convenience stores: available inside the centers and around KINTEX Station

Getting Home After the Show#

After an event, the GTX-A from KINTEX Station is the fastest way back toward Seoul. The platform can get crowded right after a big show, so check the timetable and last-train time in advance. Intercity buses and taxis are also options.
