Incheon Airport to ARTNER Cheongdam —
getting to your body contouring clinic in Gangnam.
ARTNER Cheongdam sits at 38 Apgujeong-ro 80-gil in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu — 60 to 90 minutes from Incheon Airport by taxi, 30 to 45 from Gimpo, and a flat five-minute walk from Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 4. Show a driver the Korean address below and you will arrive without a word of Korean.
Getting from the airport to a clinic in Gangnam is the first practical hurdle for most international patients, and it is easier than it looks. Three routes work well from Incheon, one is clearly best after a long flight, and the whole thing comes down to having the right address on your phone.
You land at Incheon and need to get to Cheongdam without speaking Korean.
- You are arriving late and do not want to work out subway transfers.
- You have luggage and a procedure the next morning.
- You want to know roughly what a taxi should cost.
- You are staying in Gangnam and need to find the clinic on foot.
- You want the address in Korean to show a driver.
All of it fits on one screen — save this page or ask ARTNER Cheongdam to send it on WhatsApp before you fly.
The address to show your driver in Seoul
Korean:
서울 강남구 압구정로80길 38, 2~3층 (청담동)
English:
2F–3F, 38 Apgujeong-ro 80-gil, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 06016
Landmark:
Apgujeong Rodeo Station (Suin-Bundang Line), Exit 4 — 580 m, about 5 minutes on flat ground.
Taxi drivers respond best to the Korean address or to "압구정로데오역 4번 출구" (Apgujeong Rodeo Station Exit 4). Naver Map and Kakao Map both find ARTNER Cheongdam directly; Google Maps works for the pin but is limited for Korean transit directions.
Routes from Incheon to Cheongdam, Gangnam
All three routes work. After a long-haul flight, with luggage, or arriving after dark, take the taxi — the time saved and the door-to-door delivery are worth it on a treatment trip.
| Route from Incheon (ICN) | Time to Cheongdam | Cost (approx.) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taxi / private transfer | 60–90 min | ₩70,000–₩120,000 | Arriving with luggage, or after a long flight |
| Airport limousine bus + short taxi | 80–110 min | ₩18,000 + taxi | Budget, daytime arrival |
| AREX + subway (Suin-Bundang Line) | 90–120 min | Under ₩10,000 | Light luggage, rush hour |
| From Gimpo (GMP) | 30–45 min by taxi | ₩30,000–₩50,000 | Domestic and short-haul arrivals |
Taking a taxi from Incheon to Gangnam
Follow signs for the official taxi rank in the arrivals hall and use a metered taxi. Expect roughly ₩70,000–₩120,000 depending on traffic and tolls, and 60–90 minutes to Cheongdam. Deluxe (black) taxis cost more; standard is fine.
Cards are accepted in almost all Seoul taxis. Kakao T is the app most people use, though it is easier once you have a Korean phone number — a hotel or the ARTNER Cheongdam coordinator can call one for the return trip.
Public transport if you are travelling light
The airport limousine bus is the simplest budget option: around ₩18,000 to a Gangnam stop, then a short taxi to Cheongdam. AREX to Seoul Station and then the subway is cheapest of all but involves transfers with luggage.
By subway, the last leg is the Suin-Bundang Line to Apgujeong Rodeo Station, Exit 4. From there it is 580 m on flat pavement — easy walking, and the same walk you will do for aftercare visits.
Arriving on procedure day or after it
If you are coming to the clinic on the day of a procedure, take a taxi rather than the subway — you will want the door-to-door trip, and the same applies going back to your hotel afterwards, especially if light sedation was used.
Building parking is available if you are driving, and taxis can drop you at the entrance with an elevator to the 2nd and 3rd floors. Tell ARTNER Cheongdam your arrival details on WhatsApp and we can help arrange a pickup.
