Top 3 things to do
1. Incheon Chinatown
The article calls it Korea's only official Chinatown. It stands across from Incheon Station and close to Jayu Park, with a Peking opera wall and a Korean-Chinese cultural center.
Tip: Our sources give no opening hours and no distance from the berth, so ask on board.

2. Jayu Park
Established in 1888 and described as the first Western-style park of Korea. It has a statue of General Douglas MacArthur and a memorial marking 100 years of ties between the United States and Korea.
Tip: It is close to Chinatown, so the two fit in one walk.

3. Wolmido
A former military site at Green Beach, used during the Incheon Landing. Today it has a boardwalk, an amusement park and seafood restaurants, and ferries to Yeongjongdo and Jakyakdo leave from here.
Tip: Our sources give no ride time from the berth. Ask on board.

What to skip
Songdo on a short call
Songdo International City was started in 1994 on reclaimed land and covers 13,162 acres, and some areas are still under development. Our sources name no sight there for visitors, so leave it for another trip.

Before you go ashore
You do not have to book a tour: you are free to go ashore on your own. Royal Caribbean sets the all aboard time about 30 minutes before the ship sails, posts it near the gangway, and says the ship does not wait for guests touring on their own.
