Getting There and Tips for International Visitors
COEX is directly connected to Samseong Station (Line 2). From Incheon Airport, AREX to Seoul Station + Line 2 (90 min). For international visitors, the sleep and wellness industry is global, so most major exhibitors have English-speaking staff. Bring a notebook for the conference program — much of the content is in Korean with some English sessions.
Beyond the Show
COEX connects to Starfield COEX Mall with many wellness-oriented shops including spas, organic food stores, and meditation centers. For wellness tourists, Korean bathhouse culture is a must-try — Dragon Hill Spa in Yongsan (20 min by taxi) is the most famous tourist-friendly option. The Lotte World Tower Seoul Sky observation deck (15 min by taxi) offers a wellness perspective on Seoul itself.
