Get off at the Gimpo Hyundai Premium Outlets (Final Stop)

Gimpo Hyundai Premium Outlets is very large, divided into three areas: East, Tower, and West. It is located at the shuttle bus's final stop (or starting point), so if you want to take the free shuttle bus back to Seoul, there will definitely be a seat available!

The outlet offers a wide range of brands, from luxury names like Gucci, Burberry, Prada, and Coach to popular sports brands like Nike, Adidas, and FILA, along with various other well-known international and domestic brands, totaling over 350 options. You can also get discounts up to 60%!

Additionally, bad weather can be a concern when you're out shopping, but not at Gimpo Hyundai Premium Outlets! The covered walkways and underground passages ensure that you can shop without worrying about the weather. Starting from June 2024, all the stores on the first floor have been renovated with folding doors that can be opened or closed depending on the season, keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer. This makes shopping here very comfortable, so you can enjoy your shopping without any worries.

Starting at the East Hall, then moving through the Tower Hall, and finally to the West Hall, you'll find incredible discounts in every store. With many popular international brands available, shopping here is a truly enjoyable experience!

Don't worry if you get tired from shopping! Gimpo Hyundai Premium Outlets is right next to the Han River, making it the only outlet in Korea where you can enjoy beautiful views of the Han River!

With its 450-meter-long waterway, Gimpo Hyundai Premium Outlets doesn’t feel like a crowded mall. Instead, it has a relaxed, resort-like atmosphere. We highly recommend a visit if you are out for a shopping spree during your Korea trip!
