From Busan: Gyeongju Day Tour with Bulguksa, Daereungwon, Hwangnidan-gil & Gyeongju National Museum

Leave Busan and explore Gyeongju,
the ancient capital of Silla, in a day

Meet your guide outside Exit 2 of Busan Station on Metro Line 1 and drive about 80 minutes to Gyeongju. At the first stop, Gyeongju National Museum, you spend about 1.5 hours with your guide viewing Silla-era artifacts such as pure gold crowns, delicate jewelry, Buddhist statues and the Sacred Bell of King Seongdeok (Emille Bell).

Enjoy lunch and a stroll on Hwangnidan-gil at your own pace

Next, head to Hwangnidan-gil, where traditional hanok houses mix with stylish shops, for about 1.5 hours of free time. Have lunch at a local restaurant, browse lifestyle shops and photo spots, or relax in a hanok cafe. You can also try street snacks such as the cheese-filled 10-won coin bread (lunch and snacks are at your own expense).

Walk among the tombs of Daereungwon

Take a guided walk of about 40 minutes through Daereungwon, where Silla kings and queens rest. Follow the stone-wall paths shaded by pine trees past 23 huge tombs, and take photos at the magnolia tree photo spot between the tombs.

Admire Silla stone art at Bulguksa Temple

Spend about 70 minutes at Bulguksa Temple at the foot of Tohamsan Mountain, crossing the Cheongungyo and Baegungyo stone bridges and admiring the Dabotap and Seokgatap pagodas. After the tour, return by vehicle to the starting point at Busan Station.
