Therefore, we recommend choosing only one of the following two routes!
βοΈ Walking-focused course (downtown area)
β Gyeongju National Museum ~ β¨ Back Gate of Cheonmachong Tomb
β The most popular route for a day trip, focusing on historical, traditional, and cultural landmarks.
βοΈ Outskirts moving course (bus/car-centered)
β© Bulguksa Temple & Seokguram Grotto ~ β« Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond
β A comfortable route centered on tourist-dense areas such as Bulguksa Temple, Bomun Complex, and Expo Park.
If you travel by dividing it like this, the travel route will be more efficient and the physical exertion will be greatly reduced!
Gyeongju is a 'thousand-year-old historical city' where ruins appear every time you walk, so you can have a special experience no matter where you go.
