How to Book Your Bus Ticket to Yeoju Premium Outlets
You can go to Yeoju Premium Outlets by taking the direct bus from the Express Bus Terminal near Gangnam. You can book your ticket in advance on the Express Bus website, where you can set your route from Seoul (Gyeongbu Line) to Yeoju Premium Outlets. You can also buy the ticket directly at the terminal so don’t worry if you can’t reserve in advance!
And it seems like you can also book your ticket through Klook, so feel free to check out both sites and go for the cheaper option!
Where to Ride the Bus
Once you arrive at the Express Bus Terminal, you should look for the Gyeongbu Line and go to platform 29 (opposite Emart 24 convenience store).
Your bus will arrive at the platform approximately 5-10 minutes before the departure time. Once the bus arrives, you can show the driver the QR code of your mobile ticket or paper ticket if you have it in hardcopy.
Arriving at Yeoju Premium Outlets
After around 1 hour and 10 minutes, you will arrive at the outlet! The bus will drop you off at East building near the food court (Taste Village). The returning bus picks you up at the same spot so you should remember the location and come back to this station for your bus back to Seoul!
Brands at Yeoju Premium Outlets
Yeoju Premium Outlets offers a diverse selection of brands, catering to various shopping preferences. You can find luxury fashion labels such as Gucci, Prada, Burberry, Bally, Bottega Veneta, Fendi, and Ferragamo. In addition to high-end fashion, the outlet features lifestyle and outdoor brands like Le Creuset, Royal Copenhagen, Nike and Addidas, often at prices lower than those found in other shopping malls or department stores. You can always check out the latest list of the stores on their website.
I went there on a Friday but there were long waits (app. 30-60 minutes) for popular brands like Gucci and Prada. To make the most of your visit, I recommend going on a weekday and arriving as early as possible. (FYI the outlets open at 10:30 a.m.)
Food Court at Yeoju Premium Outlets
The dining options at Yeoju Premium Outlets are perfectly designed to refuel you after hours of shopping. Exploring this expansive mall is sure to work up your appetite. The food court ‘Taste Village’ offers a variety of cuisines, from Korean and Japanese to Western dishes, ensuring there’s something to suit everyone’s taste.
When I visited, I tried the Veggie Burger at “Burger Guru 72,” which was healthy and flavorful, while my mom opted for the buckwheat noodles from “Cheonseori Makguksu,” a light and refreshing choice.
Overall
Yeoju Premium Outlets is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a luxury shopping destination near Seoul. Its convenient location, accessible by a direct bus from the Express Bus Terminal near Gangnam, makes it an excellent option for a hassle-free day trip.
