Woljeonggyo Bridge

Free and open late, which makes it the easiest night stop in Gyeongju. The exhibition inside the gate towers covers the restoration itself.

Gyeongju National Museum

The national museum of Silla. The gold crowns from Geumgwanchong and Cheonmachong, two of the tombs in central Gyeongju, are administered here, as is the Divine Bell of King Seongdeok. After Daereungwon and Cheomseongdae — the tombs and the sky — it is the natural place to come and see what was inside the tombs.

Cheomseongdae Observatory

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.

Hwangnidan-gil

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.
