World Cup Stadium

Seogwipo


Six kilometres west of central Seogwipo, this graceful soccer stadium built for the 2002 World Cup is the centrepiece of an entertainment complex that includes a multiplex cinema, E-Mart discount store, a family water park, a paper doll museum and World Eros Museum, one of Jeju’s trio of museums devoted to sex.

Airport Limousine Bus 600 from Jeju-si stops here.
