Known as a ‘museum without walls’, Gyeongju served as the residence of the Silla rulers for more than 1,000 years. The city still has a number of remains and archaeological sites dating back to that period – it’s also the place to visit if you want a glimpse of the real Korea.
Apart from its rich history, Gyeongju is also popular for its charming landscape, the nearby mountains, hiking trails, springtime flowers, cherry blossoms, and forest areas. What further makes exploring this city very convenient is that the place is well-connected and most of the sites are at a walking distance from one another.
