[edit] By bus
Buses run from Jeju city on the other side of the island. Seogwipo is a main hub for buses for the southern side of Jeju island. Therefore the majority of buses running on this side of the island pass through Seogwipo.
- Bus 600 runs from Jeju International Airport to Seogwipo every 15 to 20 minutes. Journey time is about an hour and 20 minutes. Cost is 5000won per person (25Jul2009). The bus makes stops at about 10 locations, including all the five-star hotels in the Jungmun Resort Area. The final destination is at the Sun Motel in Downtown Seogwipo.
[edit] 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. Taxis are also an option. Also, there are one or two places that rent scooters in Seogwipo.
