Where creators and travelers meet PODIUM 126(포디움 126)

PODIUM 126 is a complex cultural space maintained by Inthelocal Cooperative that develops local content using Dongincheon's varied resources. The name is a little unique. It is a mix of the architectural term "podium," with the numbers representing Incheon's longitude and latitude. The area, converted from a modern building built in the 1920s, retains the comfortable ambiance and traces of that age.

Operated as a cafe and accessory shop, it is also a meeting space for creators and travelers in Incheon. On the second floor, there is a wide table for creators to work comfortably. It is ideal for working on the laptop or for educational and experiential activities in a neat atmosphere. Incheon artists’ artworks and postcards are available on the first floor. PODIUM 126, a single building yet offers various excitement, is warmly received by residents and travelers.
