Depart from Busan and
start with Bulguksa and Seokguram

Board an 11-seat Staria Hybrid van at a designated subway station exit in Busan and travel to Gyeongju (about 70 minutes). In the morning, visit Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Grotto, Gyeongju's signature UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Your guide explains why these temples are so important in Korea and shows you the best places to take photos away from the crowds.

Taste Gyeongju food at a local restaurant

For lunch, you are taken to a restaurant where locals eat instead of a tourist spot. Enjoy simple and tasty Gyeongju food; lunch is at your own cost.

Explore Gyochon Hanok Village and the royal tombs

After lunch, stroll through Gyochon Hanok Village to see the Choi family house and the beautiful Woljeonggyo Bridge. Then visit the Gyeongju National Museum and head to Daereungwon to see the giant Silla royal tombs up close in the middle of the city. You also pass by Cheomseongdae Observatory along the way.

Walk Hwangnidan-gil and finish with the night view of Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond

Next, walk along Hwangnidan-gil, currently the most famous street in Gyeongju. Lined with cafés and small shops in renovated traditional hanok, it is a great place to grab a snack or simply stroll and enjoy the new side of Gyeongju. The tour ends at Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond. At night the lights come on and the palace is reflected in the pond, creating a calm and beautiful scene.
