International participants may stay at the Hoam Faculty House, located about 30 minutes on foot from the symposium venue. If you're planning to visit the campus or need to travel there from Incheon International Airport (ICN), you have several convenient transportation options available. Here’s everything you need to know about traveling from Incheon International Airport to SNU.
The Airport Limousine Bus offers a comfortable and direct route from Incheon International Airport to various parts of Seoul, including Seoul National University.
Bus Route: 6017 (Express Bus)
Estimated Travel Time: 60-80 minutes (depending on traffic)
Cost: Approximately 17,000 KRW
Bus Stop Location: 1F, 6 (Incheon Airport T1) / B1F, 27 (Incheon Airport T2)

This bus service offers spacious seating and is perfect for those with heavy luggage or who prefer a direct route without transfers. You can purchase tickets at the bus ticket counters or from vending machines in the airport.
You can also refer to the following website for the route and timetable of Airport Limousine Bus: https://airportlimousine.co.kr/en/sub/sub01.php
Taking a taxi is a convenient option if you prefer a more private, door-to-door service.
Estimated Travel Time: 60-70 minutes (depending on traffic)
Cost: Approximately 70,000 to 100,000 KRW (varies based on traffic and taxi type)
Pick-up Location: Taxi stands outside the arrival terminals at Incheon Airport
Taxis are available 24/7 at the airport, and the journey will take you directly to Seoul National University. Make sure to tell the driver the university’s Hoam Faculty House (서울대학교 호암교수회관) or provide the exact address for more specific guidance.
If you prefer a more economical option, the AREX combined with the Seoul Metro Subway System is a great choice.
You can follow the steps.
Step 1: Take the AREX train from Incheon International Airport to Seoul Station (approx. 43 minutes).
Step 2: From Seoul Station, transfer to Line 4 (Orange Line) of the subway and head towards Sadang Station.
Step 3: Get off at Sadang Station, and transfer to Line 2 (Green Line), which directly connects to the Nakseongdae Station.
Step 4: Get off at Nakseongdae Station, and transfer to Bus Gwankak 02 (관악02).
Step 5: Get off at Hoam Faculty House Stop.
Total Travel Time: 80-100 minutes
Cost: Approx. 5,000 - 7,000 KRW for the entire journey
This option is cost-effective but involves a couple of transfers. However, it offers an excellent opportunity to experience Seoul’s efficient public transportation system.
Language: While many transportation staff speak English, it’s always helpful to have the address of SNU written in Korean: 서울특별시 관악구 관악로 1 서울대학교.
Traffic Considerations: If traveling during peak hours (morning or evening), expect longer travel times due to heavy traffic in Seoul. The Airport Limousine Bus may be a more reliable choice during these times.
Payment Methods: Most taxis and buses accept cash (KRW), credit cards, or T-money cards, which are available at the airport.
