If you ask me, no "Korea trip" is complete without going to Nami Island.
How to get to Nami:
~The most convenient way is to use the shuttle bus that goes directly to Nami from Insadong or Namdaemun. It leaves at 9:30 am and departs from Nami at 4 pm.
One-way and round trip tickets are available but reservation is required.
~Another way is by taking a subway from Seoul.
It takes an hour to get to Gapyeong station, which is the nearest station to Nami.
After that, you need to ride the bus or take a taxi from Gapyeong to the port.
The bus schedule is every 2 hours and it starts at 9am ;)
Make sure to start early and allot a whole day so you can make the most out of your visit!
Namiseom or Naminara Republic is considered a micronation.
Hence, you need to go through an immigration area and get your visa upon purchasing your ticket.
Admission fee is 8,000 won for foreigners so don't forget to bring your id/passport!
We arrived around 12 noon already and it was crowded!
So many group tours come here so again, I highly recommend you

A lot of trees are scattered all over the island and these pine trees are the first ones you'll see.
