How to get around Gyeongju city
Although Gyeongju Station is located on the outskirts of downtown Gyeongju, public transportation is not inconvenient. It takes approximately 20-25 minutes to reach significant destinations downtown. Moreover, buses operate frequently, making it easy to use public transportation without substantial difficulties.
While the destinations may vary depending on the bus routes, most buses stop at popular tourist destinations such as Hwangridan-gil and Seongdong Market (formerly Gyeongju Station). However, please be aware that some buses may take slightly longer to Seongdong Market, so paying attention to the bus routes is essential.
If there are no buses directly heading to your destination, take any bus and come to Gyeongju Express/Intercity Bus Terminal and transfer to a bus heading to your destination. Another option is to arrive downtown and take a taxi to reach your destination.
