2. Via Airport Bus

Route : Incheon International Airport -> Myeong-dong

Where to take: Bus Stops 5B or 12A outside the arrival floor of Incheon International Airport

However, the cons is that you can't bring too much baggage when you travel using AREX/Commuter compared to Airport Bus. I suppose when you travel as a backpacker, traveling light is always your utmost priority.^^
