Because COEX is a huge place, you want to start off from the right direction. Below we list information concerning subways, and then, travel from Airports. We start with a couple internet-based maps.
For those who are driving, parking information is available here.
Subways
If you don't know your way around Seoul, this interactive map with station neighborhood maps, may be helpful http://johomaps.com/as/korea/seoul/seoulmetro.html
If you are arriving to Seoul via Express Bus or Intercity Bus, please remember that there are four different major terminals plus a few drop-points prior to the terminals. We suggest you use the subways system to transit to COEX unless you know Seoul's bus system well.
