Gyeongju — Festivals & Places Worth Going

62 places in Gyeongju described in English by the Korea Tourism Organization. Every entry comes with the Korean address you can paste into a map app.

Why we give you Korean addresses

Google Maps cannot give driving or transit directions inside South Korea — map data cannot be exported. Paste the Korean address (or the Korean name) into NAVER Map or KakaoMap instead. Both work with what is on this page, and they are what people here actually use.

Photos we took ourselves — September 2026 11

These are not stock or tourism-board photos. We walked these places on 5–6 September 2026 and took these ourselves: the actual sky that day, the state of the paving, what the signboards really say. Faces have been left out and location metadata stripped.
