Introduction
Are you arriving at Incheon Airport and planning to head to your accommodation in the Seoul City Hall or Gwanghwamun area? Many travelers find themselves asking: "Should I take the 6701 K-Limousine or the 6015 bus to get to my Myeongdong hotel?" The answer depends entirely on whether you want to be dropped off right at the "front door" of your hotel. The 6701 bus (K-Limousine) stops directly in front of major landmarks like the Westin Josun and Lotte Hotel Seoul, making it the premier choice for travelers with heavy luggage.
However, before you board, you likely have several practical questions: "What is the 6701 bus schedule?" "Can foreigners book tickets online in advance?" or "Can I pay directly with a T-money card or credit card?" Furthermore, for those traveling with family, checking the regulations regarding luggage limits and extra fees is essential to avoid any surprises.
As a local Seoulite, I have gathered all this information to ensure you have a smart and seamless journey. From boarding locations to payment tips, use this 2026 latest guide for the 6701 bus to start your Seoul adventure on the right foot!

1. Brief Introduction to the 6701 K-Limousine
Among the various airport buses traveling from Incheon Airport to Seoul, the 6701 is a top favorite for international visitors. It connects the airport directly to the heart of Seoul, specifically the Myeongdong district. The route passes through Mapo Station (where you can feel the breeze of the Han River), Gwanghwamun, City Hall Station, Euljiro 1(il)-ga, and Myeongdong before heading back to Incheon Airport.
2. Bus Stop List and Precise Locations
The following table provides accurate information for each stop. We recommend choosing the stop closest to your hotel.

8. Differences Between Route 6701 and 6001
Many international travelers are confused by these three routes. Here is the breakdown:
- Route 6001: Passes through Seoul Station and operates in the Southern part of central Seoul. It covers Namdaemun, Myeongdong Station area, Chungmuro, and Dongdaemun. It does not go near Gwanghwamun or City Hall.
- Route 6701: As detailed in Section 2, this is the premium K-Limousine option that provides direct access to major hotels in the Gwanghwamun and City Hall areas.
