Take the KTX-Eum high-speed train from Seoul Station or Cheongnyangni Station. It takes about 2 hours.

Yes, if you focus on one area like Anmok Coffee Street and Gyeongpo Beach, or use a private taxi/tour.

Taxis are efficient for short distances, but renting a car or using local buses is better for coastal routes.

Anmok Beach is great for cafes, while Gyeongpo Lake is ideal for cycling and scenic walks.

Q: Are there specific food specialties I must try in Gangneung?

Don't miss Chodang Soft Tofu (Sundubu) and fresh seafood near the coastal markets.
