Every place this site holds facts for. Each page carries the hours, closing days, admission and directions, with the source and the date they were last checked.
129 places
안동 하회마을
The page the preservation society files under visitor information is not a timetable. It is a request that you understand the residents cannot rebuild their own kitchens, and that a village with nobody in it would not be worth preserving.
앞산전망대
The viewing platform above Daegu, looking down over the whole city. There are two ways up: the cable car from Keungol, about fifteen minutes, or the trail from Anjiranggol, about an hour on foot. Daegu's own tourism office describes the building as architecture that brings the city together with the mountain behind it. Because Apsan is reachable from the city centre by public transport, a traveller with one day in Daegu can still see how the place is laid out.
익산 왕궁리 유적
A site on the Iksan plain spanning the Baekje and Unified Silla periods. Several accounts have been handed down about it — a Mahan capital, King Mu of Baekje moving or duplicating his capital here, Anseung's Bodeokguk, Gyeon Hwon's Later Baekje capital — and excavation reads it as built across at least three periods. UNESCO lists it among the components related to the secondary Sabi capital.
국립아시아문화전당
A national arts complex built into the site of the former South Jeolla provincial office, with most of its floor area underground rather than above it. Inside and outside keep different hours — 10:00–18:00 indoors, 06:00–22:00 for the roof garden and plazas. It closes on Mondays, when the outdoor half is all there is.
BIFF광장
Treat it as a short street stop that pairs naturally with Jagalchi and nearby markets; individual food stalls keep their own hours.
비자림
Two loops split at a crossroads inside the wood. Course A is about 2.2 km of level volcanic-cinder path, 40 minutes to an hour, and takes a pushchair or wheelchair with help on the slopes; course B includes rough stone and does not. Dogs are not admitted, which separates this from most Jeju walks.
봉은사
The temple publishes no opening hours and no admission fee anywhere on its own site. What it does publish hours for is the bakery, the noodle canteen, the Buddhist-goods shop and the florist — which is a fair description of how the grounds are actually used.
북촌한옥마을
Treat Bukchon as a lived-in neighborhood, not an outdoor theme park: keep voices low and follow the restricted visiting hours in the red zone.
불국사
Treat Bulguksa and Seokguram as separate stops with their own travel time; the temple grounds reward a slower look at gates, bridges, halls, and pagodas.
부평깡통시장
Come for the night market, not the market: the carts appear at 19:30, which is after most of Nampo-dong's other sights have closed.
부산엑스더스카이
It stands at the beach rather than away from it, so the observatory and Haeundae are one stop, not two — but at KRW 27,000 it is the most expensive single ticket on Busan's coast.
부소산성
A mountain fortress wrapping Busosan on the south bank of the Baengma River. It guarded the palace after the court moved to Sabi and defended the capital until Baekje fell. Nakhwaam cliff and Goransa temple stand inside it.
부여 왕릉원
Seven Baekje tombs on the south slope of Neungsan, set in two rows front and back. The ground has long been known as royal tombs, and finds from the temple site west of them reconfirmed it as a royal burial area. UNESCO lists it as the royal tombs in Neungsan-ri; the name the Korea Heritage Service uses today is Buyeo Royal Tombs.
병산서원
Two UNESCO World Heritage sites sit 3 km apart here, and the bus that links them runs three times a day. Everything about a visit follows from that one number.
창덕궁
Choose it for palace architecture plus garden scenery, but confirm whether the Secret Garden requires a separate timed ticket.
창경궁
The cheapest of Seoul's ticketed palaces and the least crowded, with a garden layout that rewards an unhurried walk rather than a checklist.
첨성대
Small, free and always open. It takes ten minutes, so plan it as the link between Daereungwon and Donggung rather than a destination of its own.
청와대
A former presidential compound behind Gyeongbokgung. Check the official presidential website before planning a visit because public access can change with government use.
대릉원
Walking the grounds is free; only Cheonmachong, the one mound you can go inside, charges. Ticketing closes at 21:30, so an evening walk is a real option.
담양 메타세쿼이아길
You pay 2,000 won and get 2,000 won back — in vouchers you can only spend in Damyang. It is not the free country road most guides describe, and it is not quite a paid attraction either.
덕수궁
The one palace built for an evening visit — it stays open to 21:00 while the others close in the afternoon, and it sits directly on a subway exit in the middle of the business district.
동대문디자인플라자
It closes three days a year and otherwise runs 10:00 to 20:00, but that figure covers the site, not what is inside it — each hall keeps its own hours according to whatever exhibition is running. Check the programme, not the building.
동궁과 월지
The best-known night view in Gyeongju, and the only one of the central sites that charges. The city warns that arriving near the 21:30 ticket cut-off may not get you in.
동구릉
Nine royal tombs in one wood, so the changing form of the tomb — from the founding of Joseon almost to the Korean Empire — can be walked in a single visit. Taejo’s mound at Geonwolleung is covered in silver grass rather than turf.
에버랜드
Nobody can tell you when Everland closes, because Everland does not publish a standing closing time — it publishes one per day. What it does publish is a price list, and the shape of that list tells you the shape of the day: a full-day pass, an afternoon pass, and a night pass that admits you from 18:00.
감천문화마을
Use the official walking route and remember that the photogenic lanes remain residential; avoid blocking doors or photographing residents without permission.
강릉 커피거리
A seafront row of roastery cafes along Anmok Beach, where most shops roast their own beans and seat you facing the water. The street keeps no hours of its own — each cafe sets them — so check the one you are aiming for.
강서한강공원
Six kilometres between Gayang Bridge and the city boundary, where a wetland ecological park and a sports park run together as one themed district. Gangseo Wetland Ecological Park — one of the thirty sites on Seoul's ecotourism list — is reed bed and willow wood that migrating birds stop at, with a bird hide, an interpretive trail and a bookable ecology programme. The operator recommends walking in from Magongnaru station on Line 9 and the Airport Railroad, past Seoul Botanic Park and over the river footbridge.
김포 장릉
It opens at 07:00 under the early-admission rule. It is the tomb of Wonjong and Queen Inheon, and the lotus pond inside the precinct is the best-preserved of any left at a Joseon royal tomb.
공산성
A fortress wrapping the valleys of a low hill on the south bank of the Geum River. It was the walled capital while Baekje's court sat at Ungjin, and remained a seat of provincial administration into the Joseon period. Originally earthen, it was rebuilt in stone under Joseon.
국제시장
Store hours and weekly closures vary, so use the published market hours as guidance rather than assuming every shop is open.
곽지과물해변
The designated season is the whole planning problem: outside it the shore is open but unstaffed, and inside it Gwakji is one of the beaches that closes at 19:00 with no evening extension. It is also the far end of the Handam Coastal Trail, so it is rarely worth driving to on its own.
광안리해수욕장
The bridge view is strongest after dark; treat drone shows, swimming zones, and car-free events as weather- and schedule-dependent additions.
광장시장
Go with several small dishes in mind and compare posted prices before ordering; individual stalls keep their own hours and closing days.
광나루한강공원
Twelve kilometres of riverside between Gangdong Bridge and Jamsil Railway Bridge. This is the only stretch inside Seoul's drinking-water protection zone, so boating and water sports are banned outright — and what the ban has left is sandbanks, two kilometres of reed bed and a habitat for migratory birds. The Hangang drone field and a cycling park with a BMX track are both in this district.
광릉
The tomb of Sejo and Queen Jeonghui, and the first to place two mounds on separate hills under a single shrine. The forest around it has been protected ever since the tomb was laid out.
경복궁
Best for a first palace visit in Seoul; allow time for the central halls and check the official schedule before adding a guard ceremony.
경동시장
It closes at 18:00 and most stores shut on Sundays, so it is a morning stop, not an evening one — the opposite of the food-alley markets.
경희궁
Free, rarely crowded, and small enough to see properly in half an hour — the palace to add when the ticketed ones are full or already closed for the day.
경의선숲길
It has no gate, no fee and no closing time, but it also has no car park anywhere along its 6.3 km — the operator says so outright and tells you to come by train. Which is fitting for a park that used to be one.
해동용궁사
Arrive early for a quieter visit, expect stairs, and leave room for worshippers rather than treating every terrace as a photo set.
해운대해수욕장
It works as a coastal walk year-round, while swimming facilities and safety controls are seasonal and should be checked separately.
한라산국립공원
Choose the trail before planning transport: only Seongpanak (9.6 km) and Gwaneumsa (8.7 km) reach the summit, both need an advance reservation, and both turn walkers back at a mid-mountain control point if they arrive after the cut-off. Every other trail is a half-day walk with no summit at the end of it.
한담해안산책로
The path and Gwakji Gwamul Beach are the two ends of the same walk, which is the fact that decides how to plan them: they are one stop, not two. West-facing, so the sunset end of the day belongs here.
한강대교
A 1,005-metre bridge between Hangang-ro 3-ga in Yongsan-gu and Bon-dong in Dongjak-gu. It opened in 1917 as the Hangang Pedestrian Bridge, the first crossing of the river anyone could walk over; it was blown up during the Korean War in 1950 and not fully restored until 1958. Nodeulseom sits under its midpoint.
헌릉과 인릉
Heonneung, King Taejong’s tomb, carries twice the stone figures of any other royal tomb, following the Goryeo precedent of King Gongmin’s tomb. It is the reference point if you want to compare tomb statuary.
홍릉과 유릉
Imperial tombs of the Korean Empire, so the form departs from every other Joseon royal tomb: a sleeping hall in place of the T-shaped shrine, and stone qilin, elephants and camels lining the approach. The graves of the imperial family lie inside the same walls.
황리단길
A street rather than a site: nothing opens or closes as a whole, and each shop keeps its own hours. It is also the walking link between Daereungwon and the Gyo-dong side.
이촌한강공원
A 10.2 km stretch of the north bank from Jungnangcheon Bridge at Geumho-dong to Mancheoncheon Bridge at Ichon-dong. Nodeulseom, the island under Hangang Bridge, is listed among this district's facilities — and the operator notes separately that the island's 120,462 m² is not counted in the park's own 922,185 m². The inline skating rink here covers 14,602 m², with a 400 m road track and a 200 m banked track.
익선동 한옥마을
The alleys are public streets, so there is no gate, no ticket and no closing time — but almost everything worth walking in for is a business with its own hours, and most of them do not open early. It is also smaller than Bukchon on purpose: these are 30-pyeong houses, not aristocratic compounds.
임진각
Imjingak is the last place you can reach without permission. Everything beyond it — the tunnel, the observatory, the station — needs an ID check and a booked seat, and all three depart from here. Treat it as both a destination and a departure gate.
인천 차이나타운
The Chinese quarter on the old treaty-port hill, and where jajangmyeon is held to have been invented. The streets themselves never close and each shop keeps its own hours, so aim for lunchtime rather than for an opening time.
인천도시역사관
The one museum in Songdo that explains why Songdo exists. It is 300 m from the National Museum of World Writing Systems and keeps a different Monday rule, which is the only thing you need to check before pairing them.
자갈치시장
Confirm the price and preparation method before ordering seafood, and remember that stall schedules can differ even when the market building is open.
잠실한강공원
A 4.8 km stretch of the south bank between Jamsil Railway Bridge and Yeongdong Bridge. At the weir under the south end of Jamsil Bridge runs Jamsil Eodo, a fish ladder with a 228 m observation deck and a viewing window, so you can watch fish work their way up past the barrage. The operator describes the park's nature-study garden as a popular spot for children's field study and family picnics.
잠원한강공원
A 5.4 km stretch of the south bank running from Yeongdong Bridge past Dongho and Hannam bridges to Banpo Bridge. It backs onto Apgujeong-dong and Sinsa-dong, yet getting in still means a walk of about fifteen minutes from the subway to an underpass. The outdoor pool in summer and the sledding hill in winter occupy the same ground, trading places with the season, and a 5.4 km cycle path runs the length of the district.
동문재래시장
Jeju's largest and oldest market, trading on this block since 1945. Produce, seafood and dried fish fill the daytime aisles, with tangerines and omegi-tteok rice cakes worked in between them. In the evening a separate night market opens by gate 8 and closes when the ingredients run out. There are twelve entrances, so agreeing a gate number is the difference between meeting someone here and not.
정방폭포
Buy a ticket at the entrance and walk down about five minutes of pine-lined steps — there is no way to see the fall from the top. Sonammeori, on the cliff above it, is a Jeju April 3 site where detainees were summarily executed; the setting is a beauty spot and a killing ground at once.
정릉
It opens at 06:00 under the early-admission rule, so it doubles as a morning walking route. It is the tomb of Queen Sindeok, King Taejo’s second queen, and its stone lantern is the oldest stone object at any Joseon royal tomb.
정림사지
The site of the principal temple of Sabi-period Baekje. The temple is gone; a five-storey stone pagoda from Baekje and a seated stone Buddha from Goryeo remain, and the north-south axis running from the middle gate past the pagoda and hall to the lecture hall is still legible across the open ground.
전주한옥마을
Plan it as a walkable district rather than one attraction, combining one or two heritage sites with food, crafts, or a hanok stay.
종묘
Plan around the admission system: weekday access may be limited to timed guided groups, while self-guided entry is offered on designated days.
죽녹원
The bamboo is the reason to come, but the thing that shapes a day here is that the grove, the embankment forest and the tree lane sit within a couple of kilometres of one another, and the county files that walk under a menu nobody opens.
김광석 다시그리기길
A wall-painted lane of a few hundred metres beside Bancheon Market, given over to murals of the singer Kim Kwang-seok, who came from Daegu, and to his songs. There is no gate and no ticket, so you can walk it at any hour — but you come here to look at paintings, so come in daylight.
한국민속촌
The operator says outright that its hours move with the season and the weather, and it means it: in August 2026 the village runs a night season closing at midnight, and the only passes on sale are 16:00 and 18:00 entries. Read the dated notice for your day before planning anything around it.
KT&G 상상마당 홍대
One address, seven floors, and not one standing opening time published for any of them. What this building says about its own hours is whatever show happens to be on that floor this month.
롯데월드 어드벤처
Its indoor areas make it useful in poor weather, but crowds still shape the visit; confirm the day's hours and suspended attractions before buying or reserving.
망원한강공원
A 7.4 km stretch of the north bank between Wonhyo Bridge and Seongsan Bridge. Its flood plain is open lawn with long sightlines, and downstream of Seongsan Bridge sits Seoul Battleship Park, built around three decommissioned naval vessels. Mangwon is not on the operator's list of the river's twelve bicycle-hire points, so a bike has to be brought here or hired in another district.
망원시장
It opens at 10:00, later than Seoul's other well-known markets, which makes it a practical first stop after a slow start.
미륵사지
The site of a temple founded under King Mu of Baekje. It has a plan found nowhere else: stone pagodas east and west with a wooden one between them, each with its own main hall behind it. The western stone pagoda is the oldest surviving stone pagoda in Korea.
무등산국립공원
The national park on Gwangju's eastern edge, distinguished by the columnar rock formations near its summit. There is no gate and no fee, but trails close in bad weather — checking the closures before you set out is the one piece of preparation this mountain really requires.
명동대성당
It publishes no visiting hours, because it is a parish rather than an attraction — what it publishes is a Mass timetable. The one clock that does cover the site belongs to 1898 Plaza, the archdiocese-run arcade under the approach, open 09:00 to 22:00 every day but two.
명동교자
A kalguksu house open since 1966. The menu runs to four dishes and it takes no reservations. The main branch moved to Toegye-ro in 2026 and now stands in front of exit 8 of Myeongdong Station.
명동 쇼핑거리
Central Seoul's best-known shopping district for cosmetics, fashion and tax-refund shopping. Treat it as a neighborhood rather than a single mall because individual stores keep their own hours.
N서울타워
Time the visit around sunset if you want both daylight and night views, and plan the ascent separately from the observatory ticket.
남대문시장
It is a district of independently operated shops rather than one venue, so visit by product category and verify specialist-market hours.
남이섬
You buy the ticket in one province and land in another, and the ticket is a boat fare. Almost everything that decides your day here — how much you pay, how late you can stay — is set by the ferry timetable rather than by the island.
난지한강공원
Three kilometres of riverside at Sangam-dong, from Hongjecheon Bridge to Nanji Bridge. Footbridges drop into it — one between Noeul Park and Haneul Park, another from Peace Park — so it can be walked into from the World Cup Park side above. Its landmarks are the Nanji campsite, where barbecue and overnight camping are allowed, and the Mirror Fountain, which plays from May to October.
부여 나성
An 8 km wall raised to protect the Sabi capital. Taking Busosanseong as its centre, it runs east and west along the natural terrain around the outside of the Buyeo townscape. It was built of earth, and only slight traces of it remain today.
국립중앙박물관
Two closure rules, not one, and they are not the same thing: the museum itself shuts on only three days a year, while the permanent galleries take a quarterly Monday off with the garden still open. Wednesday and Saturday run to 21:00 — the only evenings you can see this place without daylight pressure.
국립세계문자박물관
It is free, it is eight minutes from a subway exit, and it holds a leaf of the 42-line Gutenberg Bible. The building was designed to lie flat against the park rather than stand apart from it, which is why it does not look like a museum from outside.
노량진수산시장
The only market here that never closes for the night: wholesale and retail run around the clock, and the auction is a separate event with its own schedule.
온릉
The tomb of Queen Dangyeong, Jungjong’s first queen. She was buried as a deposed consort and restored some 180 years later, at which point the grave became a royal tomb. It is one of the few Joseon royal tombs that charges no admission.
오설록 티 뮤지엄
The museum itself is free and takes under an hour; the tea fields around it are the reason most people stay longer. It sits in Andeok, in Jeju's south-west — a long way from Seogwipo city and from Jeongbang, so plan it with the west, not with the south coast.
파주 장릉
The joint tomb of Injo and Queen Inyeol. When it was moved, the old stone figures were kept alongside newly carved ones, so seventeenth- and eighteenth-century tomb statuary stands side by side.
파주 삼릉
Gongneung, Sulleung and Yeongneung in one precinct. Of the three, only Sulleung was built to the full royal-tomb form — its occupant alone died holding the rank of queen.
새별오름
Choose the east trail unless you want the climb: the west one is the steeper of the two. It is open all year with no forest-fire closure period, which is not true of every Jeju trail, and the Jeju Fire Festival held here no longer sets the hillside alight — see the article.
사릉
The tomb of Queen Jeongsun, Danjong’s consort. She died stripped of her rank and was buried with the rites due a grand prince’s wife; nearly one hundred and eighty years later she was restored, and the grave became a royal tomb.
씨라이프 코엑스 아쿠아리움
Nobody should pay the gate price. The operator's own site sells the same adult ticket at a standing discount and drops it further on selected dates, so the number to plan around is the online one, booked before you arrive.
석굴암
A separate journey from Bulguksa with its own travel time, not an annexe of it. Admission has been free since 4 May 2023, and the published times are last-admission times rather than closing times.
서문시장
Daegu's big city-centre market, historically a textile market and still built around hanbok and fabric. The day market and the night market are two different things on two different schedules — the night market runs Friday to Sunday only.
성산일출봉
Two separate walks share the site: a ticketed climb to the summit, 30–40 minutes of stairs, and a free coastal path around Umutgae with a much gentler gradient. The monthly closure is the thing that ruins trips — it is the first Monday, not a holiday pattern anyone guesses.
선정릉
It opens at 06:00 and sells monthly and lunchtime passes, which tells you what it mostly is: a working park that office workers and neighbours walk through, which happens to contain two royal tombs. Under-25s get in free, so for most young travellers the ticket price is irrelevant.
서오릉
Five royal tombs and three lesser graves in one wood. Sukjong lies here with two of his queens, and so does Jang Hui-bin — one reign’s cast inside a single set of walls. It opens at 07:00 under the early-admission rule.
섭지코지
A headland running out into the sea on Jeju's eastern coast. Koji is the Jeju word for a cape; for Seopji the publisher records two readings side by side — that it describes ground said to produce men of talent, and that it comes from hyeopji, meaning narrow land. The path crosses hills of red volcanic scoria and follows low rock cliffs, and a Joseon-period beacon mound stands on the open grassland. What sets it apart from Jeju's other coastal walks is that Seongsan Ilchulbong stands in the background for most of the way round, which is why it photographs the way it does.
설악 케이블카 (권금성)
The one ticketed thing on the Sokcho side of Seoraksan, and the one whose hours you cannot look up in advance: the operator posts them a day at a time. The fare page is stable, the timetable is not, and the two are on the same website.
설악산국립공원
The park does not publish opening hours, it publishes a table of when you may start walking and when each gate stops you. Read that table before anything else: the Sogongwon trails run on sunrise and sunset, and everything beyond Biseondae runs on a clock that starts at 03:00 in summer.
서삼릉
Three royal tombs and two princely graves, and beside them the royal placenta chambers gathered here from all over the country under Japanese rule — where what became of them can be seen at once.
서울숲
The park is open 24 hours and never closes, but almost everything worth timing inside it does — the ecological forest, both conservatories and the floor fountain all keep separate hours, and the two indoor ones shut on Mondays. Tents, sun shelters and awnings are banned outright, which is the rule most picnic plans get wrong.
서울스카이
Visibility matters more than the clock: check weather and haze, reserve sunset periods early, and distinguish general observatory admission from paid add-on experiences.
신세계백화점 본점
One address, four buildings, and the names changed in 2025 — so a page that still says "main building and annexe" is describing a layout that no longer exists. The reason to come without a shopping budget is on the fourth floor of The Heritage: a free museum of Korean retail history inside a 1935 bank.
신흥사
You walk through it whether or not you meant to — the Ulsanbawi, Biseondae and Geumganggul trails all start past its gate, and the great bronze seated Buddha the park's own trail notes call the Cheongdong Daebul stands on the approach before you reach the temple itself.
속초관광수산시장
Sokcho's town-centre market, laid out as separate alleys for fish, dried seafood and household goods. The market-wide hours are given as 08:00–24:00, but individual stalls set both their own hours and their own closing days — check the one you are aiming for.
송도센트럴파크
The water is the park. Everything else here — the gardens, the deer, the boathouses — is arranged along 1.8 km of seawater canal, and the walk is decided by which bank you pick and which bridge you cross.
송도해상케이블카
Two cabin types at two prices: the standard Air Cruise, and the Crystal Cruise with a transparent floor for about a third more.
별마당 도서관
It is a mall atrium, not a library in the quiet sense — there is no lending, and the photographs everyone comes for are of a space full of people. Power sockets and worktables make it a genuinely usable stop between COEX appointments.
별마당 도서관 수원점
Same name as the COEX one, a different building in a different city. The open stacks sit at the centre of Starfield Suwon, visible from anywhere on floors 4 through 7, and a separate children's library — Starfield Kids — keeps the same hours. Admission is free to anyone, and the first six hours of parking are free, which is long enough that arriving by car does not put you on a clock.
순천만국가정원
The half-price night ticket is the thing to understand before buying. It goes on sale at 17:00, and the operator publishes a list of what has already shut by then — the zoo, the therapy garden, then the big wheel and the Sky Cube. The wetland it will not admit you to at all.
순천만습지
Almost everything here is built to be hard to see. The street lamps were cut down to head height and fitted with reflectors so the light would not reach roosting birds, the boardwalk and signs were designed to disappear when viewed from a bird's altitude, and the rest shelters are made from scrapped boats. Read the site as a set of decisions about birds and it stops looking like a park.
성심당 본점
A bakery that began in 1956 as a steamed-bun stall in front of Daejeon Station and has been an Eunhaeng-dong fixture since. Its listed signatures are the fried soboro bun and the pantalong leek bread. It opens 08:00–22:00 every day of the year, but the popular items sell as they come out of the oven, so come early if there is one you want.
수원화성
"Suwon Hwaseong admission" is a question with no answer, because the fortress does not charge one. The 2,000 won everybody quotes is the ticket for Haenggung, the palace inside the wall — a different place with a gate, a closing time and a last entry.
태종대유원지
Choose between walking the hilly loop and using the Danubi Train; train hours, queues, and weather closures are separate from the park's general access.
태권도원
A site built for taekwondo and nothing else, run by the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation. A whole valley below Baegunsan on the Deogyusan ridge is given over to it, holding a competition arena, the T1 theatre, the National Taekwondo Museum, the Doyakgwan lodging block and an observatory. At 2,314,000 square metres it runs its own shuttle bus inside the grounds. For a visitor who has never trained, the draw is the demonstrations and the short experience classes rather than the facilities themselves; the approach is a local bus toward Seolcheon from Muju bus terminal.
태릉과 강릉
The Joseon Royal Tombs Exhibition Hall, which covers the tombs as a whole, stands inside this precinct. If several tombs are on the itinerary, starting here is what makes the rest legible.
아침고요수목원
The only place in this guide whose operator publishes a page for each of the four seasons, and it means it: the hours themselves change for a third of the year, when the winter light festival pushes closing time to 21:00.
제3땅굴
The departure time you book decides how you go down. Paju marks each shuttle either monorail or on foot, and describes the walking route as cramped and steeply graded — which is why the operator publishes a list of who may be refused entry.
공주 무령왕릉과 왕릉원
Seven royal tombs of Ungjin-period Baekje on the south slope of Songsan. One of them, the tomb of King Muryeong, was found with its own memorial tablets, making it one of very few Three Kingdoms tombs whose occupant and date are known. It was long called the Songsan-ri tombs.
통인시장
Plan around the lunchbox cafe rather than the market: it closes on Tuesdays and stops selling tokens well before the market itself shuts.
우도
The ferry controls the whole day: photo ID is a legal requirement to board, not a formality, and outside vehicles are barred from the island until 31 July 2029 apart from named exceptions. Plan around the last sailing back, and note the island charges its own park admission on top of the fare.
의릉
The former KCIA auditorium still stands inside the tomb walls. The July 4th North-South Joint Statement was announced in that building, so a Joseon royal tomb and twentieth-century political history share one precinct.
운현궁
Not one of the grand palaces and not trying to be — a compact residential compound three minutes from Anguk Station that fills the gap between two bigger stops.
전쟁기념관
Closes at 17:40, not 18:00, and stops admitting visitors at 17:00 — a 40-minute gap that catches people who arrive after an afternoon elsewhere. Closed Mondays, and when a holiday falls on a Monday the closure moves to the day after, which is the rule most itineraries miss.
월정교
Free and open late, which makes it the easiest night stop in Gyeongju. The exhibition inside the gate towers covers the restoration itself.
양화한강공원
A 5.9 km stretch of the south bank from the mouth of the Yeouido Saetgang up to Gayang Bridge. Roses come out from May along the cycle path under Seonyu Bridge, and exit 4 of Dangsan station reaches the park directly over a 200 m footbridge with a lift on it. The operator singles out the view from its broad riverside lawn as one that is hard to find elsewhere.
영릉과 영릉
Sejong’s Yeongneung and Hyojong’s Yeongneung stand side by side — the first Joseon royal tomb to bury king and queen under one mound, and the first to stack their two mounds on one hillside. Admission is half what the other tombs charge.

Free, ungated and open around the clock — and governed by a fine schedule most visitors never read. Camping or cooking outside a designated spot is KRW 1,000,000 for a first offence, and parking outside a marked bay is KRW 50,000.
용두산공원과 부산타워

The hot-spring quarter around Bongmyeong-dong in Daejeon's Yuseong district: hotels and bathhouses drawing on alkaline spring water of 27–56°C, plus a free public foot spa in the park that is separate from all of them. The quarter is not one facility, so prices and closing days belong to the individual businesses.
