Where we are
Where should I stay?
For the first 2–3 nights after surgery, the easiest bases are Gangnam Station, Sinsa or Express Bus Terminal — each is one or two stops from the clinic, so check-ups take minutes. Once you feel comfortable, many patients move to Myeongdong or Hongdae for sightseeing.
