The Coex is an exhibition and shopping centre. The stores range from top end retailers to department stores along with restaurants, a library and movie cinemas. It is a large centre with kids activities like LEGO playland and cafe at Brick Live. There is an aquarium and many hotels that surround and have entry into the shopping mall. There is also an airport check in if you fly certain airlines eg. Korean airlines or Thai, you can check bags in like you do at the airport. An airport bus leaves every 20 mins and you book tickets an hour before you want to leave. Price for the bus is 15000 won each adult, cheaper for children. Clothing prices aren’t cheap and if you want discounted clothing you need to go to the outlet shops. There are lots of coffee shops where you can buy food and beverages for around similar prices to Australia. The library is big with floor to roof bookshelves and many Koreans come here to just read. A great place to visit.
