'''Seogwipo''' is a city in Jeju, South Korea.

Get in

Buses run from Jeju city on the other side of the island. Seogwipo is a main hub for buses. Therefore the majority of buses running on this side of the island pass through Seogwipo. The easiest way to get here from the airport in Jeju city is to take the airport limo bus which is located right outside the airport. The limo bus makes about 10 stops with one of its last stops being Seogwipo. It takes about an hour and 20 minutes. Cost is about 6,000 won.

Get around

In the city center there are a few bus "terminals" located around a main traffic circle. These buses go pretty much anyhere on Jeju. Some buses are city buses(and therefore are slower and make more stops) while some other buses are for longer distances and make less stops. The long distance buses look more like tour buses than the city buses. Taxes are also an option. Also there are one or two places that rent scooters in Seogwipo.
