This city was once a bustling cultural and commercial hub with significant archaeological remains. The observatory is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and is just one of many historical treasures found in Gyeongju, including Daereungwon Tomb Complex and Bulguksa Temple.
It was one of the best trip I had. It’s a beautiful place, very historic and reach in Culture. The view is stunning.

The Gyeongju National Museum is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and culture lovers. Established in 1945, it houses an extensive collection of artifacts dating back to the Silla Dynasty, offering insight into the lives and traditions of the Silla people. Exhibits include intricately crafted pottery, Buddhist sculptures, ancient royal tombs, ceremonial weapons, and the Emillejong (National Treasure No. 29), also known as the Bongdeoksa Bell.
Free entry. It’s got to have the best cleaned glass displays in any museum. Almost ran into the glass towards the displays. Be sure to check out the building across the bridge to find out about how they keep the relics well.

This is a must visit in Gyeongju! The museum is fantastic. There's so much history, the installations are modern and sleek. entrance is free, there's a beautiful pond & cafe where you can chill.
Marcia L — Google review
An excellent museum to discover and deepen your knowledge of the Silla period. I recommend starting your stay in Gyeongju with this visit — it’s free and provides valuable context for exploring other sites, especially the tumuli. The museum also offers an app with additional explanations in English for selected artifacts. Lockers are available to store your belongings, and several bus lines stop nearby. The only drawback is that there aren’t many dining options in the immediate area, so it’s worth planning your meals accordingly.
Elisa L — Google review
It was so crowded. Luckly we were able to find a parking space. No tickets were available for the the crown exhibit. Ot was worth to visit.

Went here in the evening. It was busier then I thought it would be (Sunday night), but not over crowded. It's easy to walk around and would suit all walking abilities. The lighting at night is great for taking photos. There is a parking area and toilets too.

With the pond, the bridge, the royal tombs and the unesco world heritage sites to explore, give yourself an entire day for the area. The pond is beautifully serene, the entrance fee is laughably cheap and you can meet a squirrel or two under the mogwa trees nearby. Absolutely worth the visit.

This is a tranquil garden with a pond and pavilions as centrepiece. It's worth checking out by circling the pond and view the extensive landscaping works. The pavilions and walking trails are illuminated after sunset.

It's a very beautiful place. There are two cats, one is hurt by the tail. The two cats are really cute and calm.

Sights & Landmarks
Bridges
Woljeonggyo Bridge is a reconstructed Silla Dynasty bridge that offers a picturesque sight, especially at night when it is illuminated and reflects on the water. It has historical significance as it was part of the love story of a Buddhist monk and a princess, as well as serving as a gateway connecting royal palaces. The original bridge was built over 1000 years ago but sadly burnt down; however, in 2018, the largest wooden bridge in Korea was reconstructed.
We arrived around 9am. The whole area is just absolutely peaceful and serene. The bridge is absolutely gorgeous. While this version is only a new historical replica, you can appreciate the care and beauty that went into keeping the look and feel of a traditional structure. I wish I had my running shoes. I would have went for a run!
Kim S — Google review
Woljeonggyo is very picturesque, especially when lit up at night. Just be aware that the bridge will be closed at 10pm. If you are on the other side, you will have you walk around to the nearby road bridge to re-cross the river.

The bridge is a beautiful reconstruction, there's a very small museum room upstairs open during the day. Although the upstairs was closed when we came back, it's definitely worth visiting in the dark!

The Woljeonggyo Bridge is a reproduction of the original Silla period structure and had been beautifully constructed. It is an excellent day and night photography destination.

K J — Google review
Gyeongju Gyochon Traditional Village is a charming and historic village located in Gyeongju, South Korea. Known for preserving the traditional lifestyles and architectural styles of the *Silla Dynasty*, the village offers a unique glimpse into Korea's past. The village is especially famous for its well-maintained hanok (traditional Korean houses) and the **Hwangseong Gyochon**, which is an ancestral home of the Gyeongju Choi clan, one of the prominent families during the Silla period. At Gyochon, visitors can stroll through narrow, picturesque lanes lined with traditional homes, and experience the peaceful atmosphere that evokes the past. The houses, with their characteristic tiled roofs and wooden beams, are great examples of the classic Korean architectural style. Many of these homes have been preserved and even restored, with some open to the public, offering visitors a chance to step inside and experience the traditional interiors. One of the village's highlights is **Choi Clan's Village Hall**, where the descendants of the Choi family still celebrate their traditional customs. You can also visit the **Gyeongju Folk Craft Complex** nearby, where artisans continue to practice and sell traditional crafts, such as pottery, embroidery, and wooden sculptures. The village is also well known for its **delicious local cuisine**, especially **ssambap** (rice with various banchan (side dishes) wrapped in leaves), and **hanjeongsik** (a full-course Korean meal). The combination of history, culture, food, and nature makes Gyeongju Gyochon Traditional Village a captivating place to visit.

What you see is what you get and what you will see are some large, grassy mounds (one containing a small museum). Beautifully maintained, it’s worth an amble but, honestly, thirty minutes is more than enough. Telletubby fans might get more of a kick out of it.

It seems like these burial mounds are everywhere in Gyeongju. What I want know is where are all the big holes where they got the dirt to make these mounds? They are lit up at night. When we visited, there were fireworks. I also wondered how they kept the grass on these mounds so neatly cut.

I enjoyed the gardens and the walk around the complex, which is free. You can pay a small fee to enter the open tomb, where you can learn about the Silla tombs and horse culture.

Great opportunity to see a tomb from the inside. You need to pay to access this part (ticket booth infront of the entrance). You can see how the tombs are built as well as artefacts that were found in the them. The inside is air-conditioned.

It was a remarkable experience to explore one of the magnificent royal tombs of the Shila kingdom in Kyongju City. The tombs were filled with a wealth of artifacts and royal treasures, all meticulously preserved for visitors to admire. Although many of the treasures on display were replicas, their splendor was undeniable. The genuine artifacts are housed in the National Museum in Seoul, but this visit was an extraordinary and unforgettable experience.

황리단길(Hwangnidan-gil): Where Tradition Meets Trend in Gyeongju Hwangnidan-gil is a charming street in Gyeongju where tradition and modernity blend seamlessly. Gyeongju, long known as the city of kings and ancient tombs from the thousand-year-old Silla Dynasty, surprises visitors with its youthful and vibrant transformation—thanks in large part to this very street. Lined with beautifully preserved hanok-style buildings, the area is filled with cozy cafés, unique boutiques, and stylish eateries, making it especially popular among younger travelers. The elegant traditional architecture harmonizes with contemporary design, turning the entire street into a living gallery. It’s a perfect spot for food lovers, with plenty of dessert cafés and brunch places to explore. And since it’s located near the stone wall path of Daereungwon Tomb Complex, it’s easy to combine cultural sightseeing with a relaxing stroll. Whenever I’m in Gyeongju for a seminar or workshop, I make sure to stop by Hwangnidan-gil for a quiet cup of tea. Visiting in the morning or around sunset offers a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for walking and photography. The street is full of picturesque corners, making it a favorite for capturing memorable shots. If you're planning a trip to Gyeongju, Hwangnidan-gil is an absolute must-visit. It’s a place where the timeless beauty of tradition meets the pulse of modern life—revealing a fresh and unexpected side of this historic city.

Nice change from the oppressiveness of Seoul. Eclectic restaurants, cafes, shops, desserts and snacks (fried squid on a stick!). Touristy, with a bit of kitsch, but mostly done right. Hanok-styled architecture is mandated (see Starbucks review) nothing over 2 storeys. Short walk to historical sites. We visited in October so there were no crowds. I imagine the heat and swarms in the Summer may be unpleasant.

A lot of nice souvenirs and trinkets shops. Nice to walk down alleys of traditional korean shophouses. However, the 10cent cheese shop and street food is very repetitive. Would be nice to have a greater variety of street food. Recommend to bring your international driving license to ride the buggy cars around for rental. Fun and cheap activity.

Hwangnidan-gil is one of the most charming and trendy streets in Gyeongju, blending history with a modern, artsy vibe. Lined with beautifully renovated hanok-style buildings, the street is filled with cozy cafés, boutique shops, and restaurants offering both traditional and fusion cuisine. It’s a great place to stroll, take photos, and enjoy the unique atmosphere that mixes old and new. Many cafés and shops have thoughtfully designed interiors, making them perfect for a relaxing break or a social media-worthy snapshot. The area is especially lively in the evening when the lights add to the ambiance. However, it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, so visiting earlier in the day or on weekdays is recommended for a more relaxed experience. Prices at some cafés and restaurants are slightly higher than average, but the quality and experience often make up for it. Overall, Hwangnidan-gil is a must-visit for those looking to experience a different side of Gyeongju beyond its historical sites. Whether you’re a foodie, a coffee lover, or just someone who enjoys exploring vibrant streets, this area has plenty to offer.

this covers a huge area and there are lots of food and cafe options here as well as trendy select shops. half a day isn't even enough if you want to fully explore every nook and cranny. most of the cafes are super aesthetic and even in traditional hanok style. honestly i feel this area beats jeonju's hanok village in vibes and quality of food selection. there's korean, thai, viet, japanese, chinese, western food etc here and you'll be spoilt for choice. weekends are particularly crowded so getting a seat at popular restaurants will have a wait time

Excellent pizza. Best in 황리단길 (albeit a bit expensive). Add: Service isn't very welcoming. But sit by the window and you can see people in the park.

They were very unkind with our baby. Food was quite bad, we ordered pizza and risotto. These were not tasty at all, like a bunch of ingredients cooked together without any sense and a lot of spicy at all. They shall not use names as pizza or risotto since they are not cooking these dishes. Only good thing was beer. Total price 50,000 KRW we may have spent in other place.

PIZAOK is one of the most delicious restaurant in Gyeongju, Busan. There are so many kinds of pizzas and pastas on the menu. The pepperoni pizza is a little spicy but it is very delicious. One of the other menu items, Tomato Pasta, has a good tomato flavor. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and calm. The staff are incredibly friendly and there is ample seating in the restaurant. The prices on the menu at this restaurant are usually pretty high, but you might think the taste of the food justifies the cost. I think it's really worth a visit, and I recommend this restaurant to those who like Western food.

Revisit (reducing to 2 stars): the chicken breast salad is not good. Bitter greens, a chicken breast, and chunks of grapefruit and orange. Like wth is that? And W12,000??? Everything is too Koreanized. 😞

Seasoning

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Western restaurant
Seasoning is an Italian fusion restaurant located in a traditional Korean hanok, offering a quiet and cozy atmosphere. The signature dish, "aseasoning pasta," puts a unique spin on the traditional Indonesian migoren by incorporating it into pasta, resulting in a flavorful and spicy sauce that complements the chewy noodles. While known for its original pasta dishes, Seasoning also offers tasty options like Kuro rice.
Went the first time by chance and enjoyed it so much that I had to return to eat the same dish (risotto). The staff are very friendly and speak english, the food is amazing and the space is cozy and relaxing. It were probably the best meals I had in South Korea! Great quality for the value!

Went for dinner on a weekday night. No wait with plenty of seating options and great ambience. Tried their Ragu pasta and seasoning risotto. The ragu pasta was delicious and flavourful. For the risotto, the waiter kindly informed us about the spice level (around shin ramyeon level) and adjusted it to a non spicy version so we could still enjoy it. I think if you can handle a bit of spice, it would definitely enhance its flavour!

Had the Seasoning Risotto and Poutine. Good flavour and texture for the Risotto. Staff was friendly and able to warn me about the spice level by referencing Shin ramyeon. Menu is available in English.

Very tasty food in a well refined hanok style restaurant. We were served for a late lunch at 3 PM. If you want to switch from local cuisine and try something fusion, it is the right place to stop by.
Giuseppe S — Google review
Tasty enough. Curry rice was good, truffle spaghetti also not bad. Poutine was more like fries in a Bolognese sauce, not gravy. Flavor aside, the portions are way too small. A grown man such as myself can easily handle two portions of anything here. They must be making a killing. But in some sense, most women are dieting so it's better than letting food go to waste. And such restaurants are always targeting women and hapless boyfriends/husbands.

Here is an Italian food restaurant. It looks like a traditional Korean house. Actually, here it was made by remodeling a Hanok. so, if you want to see the Korean traditional house food restaurant, I recommend this restaurant. and it was a cozy mood. and I like the cozy mood, so I like the mood here. and I recommend the first menu name is 'Ragu Pasta'. It is a little bit spicy. and It is made of tomato and meat. and the Second I recommend the menu is 'Basil cream rizoto'. and here the staff look busy, but they're so kind. and here is a pretty place.

Bichkkuli

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Cafe
Bichkkuli is a popular traditional tea house in Gyeongju known for its Instagrammable beauty and authentic hanok setting. Visitors are required to remove their shoes before entering the peaceful atmosphere of the hanok, where seating on the ground offers an authentic tea ceremony experience. The tea house serves delicious Korean rice cake snacks in a variety of pastel colors with honey dip, along with delightful drinks.
If you're seeking an authentic slice of Korean culture, tucked away from the bustling tourist areas, this café in Gyeongju is a must-visit. Housed in a serene hanok, the traditional Korean architecture offers a peaceful retreat where you can enjoy a variety of unique beverages, like the highly recommended Korean plum drink known for aiding digestion. The menu features delightful traditional snacks and desserts, including rice cakes that come highly praised by visitors for their taste and texture. Be sure to try the colorful grilled injeolmi! Dipping the rice cakes in jocheong syrup makes them incredibly sweet and delicious. The jocheong was so good that we wanted to buy some ourselves, it was handcrafted and helps with digestion while leaving a clean aftertaste. Particularly, the plum, omija, and lemon ginger carbonated water was refreshingly clean and delicious without the spiciness of ginger. I was so impressed, I wish there was a place like this in Seoul. The charm of this café extends beyond its menu; the traditional floor seating and the modern convenience of ceiling air conditioning ensure comfort throughout your visit, especially during the warmer months. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, this spot is celebrated for its friendly owner, excellent service, and the joy of choosing from an array of uncommon tea options and baked goods. Don’t miss out on this gem that combines culinary excellence with cultural authenticity—perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the real Korean café culture.

2025.03.31 Not knowing the type of tea that I should order, the owner of Bichkkuli (빛꾸리) suggested that I tried the healthy persimmon tea made from wild leaves hand-picked from Jiri mountain. The rice cakes came with 6 flavours, - the sticky one entails cutting, pulling and twisting (similar to eating spaghetti). Floor seating with cool ambience. Not for those with weak knee.
Ken L — Google review
If you want a real hanok experience this is the place to visit rather than the many replicas around the neighborhood. I spent many childhood summers here sleeping in those very rooms when the hanok belonged to my grandparents who have long passed on. I came back with my own family 40+ years later to show my daughter where her ancestral home is. It brought tears to my eyes. I’m so grateful to the tea owner who has lovingly restored the hanok rather than tearing it down or making garish renovations. Her handmade teas and rice cakes are wonderful. You’ll feel restored here and will understand a bit more about what life used to be like around here.

Cold noodle restaurant
When visiting Gyeongju, make sure to stop by Hwangnam Milmyeon for a delightful noodle experience. This renowned shop offers fresh handmade noodles with a variety of fruit-infused sauces, creating a delectable blend of sweet and sour flavors. You can savor their refreshing water noodles served with a clear bone broth or opt for the special sauce-marinated Jeju black pork barbecue cooked over charcoal fire.
Main dishes are very good with beef tartare and dumpling. But stew with rice is nothing special. The ambiance is very nice and service was nice. The location is very good and easy to find. It is winter time so it is not busy but it could be busy. So please check before you go. Menu shows in English and Korean too.

The place is nice with a view on the street. I ordered cold noodles with kimchi dumplings. I usually don’t eat noodles especially cold ones but this one has changed my mind. The taste and texture are aldente, the sauce is sweet, sour and spicy but balanced. The best part is the fish they use. For the dumplings they use starch wrap, like dimsum. You get a free broth to drink with two kinds of radish.

Myeongdong Jjolmyeon in Gyeongju is a must-visit spot for jjolmyeon enthusiasts, offering a variety of cold, hot, and bibim jjolmyeon.

Huge portion but 6,000 won is not cheap for this type of noodle(jjolmyeon). They have only 4 dishes, all jjolmyeon(with hot/cold soup and dry one). There is usually a waiting during lunch hours but queue was moving quite fast. It tasted good and healthy with lots of veggies but I found quite average.. nothing much to write home about.

I felt that the atmosphere of Myeong-dong Jjolmyeon was really delicious. Because there were many times when people were standing in line. Of course, the taste was delicious. I recommend jjolmyeon. Because my body gets warm. And there are many stores or restaurants around, so I think it would be good to eat, watch, or eat dessert. For dessert, we recommend eating Chalbori bread, Gyeongju bread, or Hwangnam bread, which is Gyeongju's proud dessert.

Barbecue restaurant
Daegu Galbi, located on Bukjeong-ro 5, offers top-notch pork galbi in a simple yet inviting setting. The restaurant specializes in serving delicious pork rib stew with deep flavors of garlic, sweetness, and spiciness. The menu is small but the food is made to perfection and served in artisanal pewter dishes with a good selection of lettuce and mint leaves for wrapping the meat. The friendly staff are attentive and can communicate in English.
This is a spicy braised pork rib dish with lots of garlic(boneless). The umami flavor sticks to your mouth, with a spicy kick and the sharp heat from the garlic. It's truly addictive and delicious. After finishing the pork ribs(without bone), make sure to add extra fried rice. The pot has many burn marks, but it's a symbol of an old, beloved restaurant. While there's no hygiene issue, it might give a negative impression to those who are sensitive.

Nicey but pricey This restaurant in a side street has a minimum order of 2 servings for each dish. We ordered the braised beef short ribs (sogalbijjim) - 2 x KRW 22,000 which came with a nice selection of ban chan and ssam wraps - lettuce and perilla leaves. We also ordered 1 serve of rice for which we were charged KRW 1,000. It was very tasty but we thought that it was quite pricey.

Delicious pork rib stew. Best meal we've had in Korea so far. The pork flavour is deep with gorgeous garlic, sweet and spicy flavours. The bacham side dishes were delicious and great accompaniments. The staff were friendly and spoke English which was very helpful. The price of 11,000W is per person and you need to order a minimum of 2 of the same dish.

The dining experience includes around 30 small plates for two people, featuring kimchi jjeon (pancake), various types of kimchi, mushroom and pork dishes. Despite the visually impressive spread, the quality of the food is not compromised by quantity.
For a fixed menu price of 15,000 won per person, you'll get many side dishes with some spicy pork to be wrapped with vegetables and rice. It's value for money and taste is ok for the price.

(Translated by Google) Among the SNS reviews, there were many reviews of Life Rice Bowl and Life Tendong, so I stopped by on my way to Gyeongju! I know the wait is usually long, but the timing of my visit was perfect(?), so I went in after about 5 minutes! (How to create a waiting list in front of the entrance) The menu includes 3 types of tendon, 2 types of udon, and a few side menus. The menu in the photo is Yeodogaju rice bowl + additional fried egg, fried udon, basil tomato, and a large draft beer haha. When I tried it, the fries were really good and the rice was seasoned just right, making it a very satisfying meal! It was cold this evening, so I ordered udon, and both the chewy noodles and the fries were good! The interior of the restaurant was very warm and pretty, so I thought it would be nice to have a restaurant like this. If you are going to Gyeongju, be sure to stop by.

I never thought that seasoned rice and fried food would go so well together~~Udon may seem a bit boring, so try lowering your expectations first, but the more you eat, the more you will be fascinated by the deep flavor and will end up inhaling the entire bowl~^^ It may not be a good price, but I don't think it's a waste~ (Original) 진정 튀김이란 이런거구나를 느끼게 해줍니다~!! 먹은후 느끼함 제로!! 양념된 밥과 튀김이 이렇게 잘 어울릴 줄이야~~우동은 다소 심심하게 느껴질수 있으니 일단 기대치를 낮추고 드시되 먹을수록 깊은맛에 매료되 그릇째 흡입하게 된다능~^^ 착하지 않은 가격이지만 아깝다는 생각은 안들어요~

(Translated by Google) Perhaps because they remodeled an ordinary house into a restaurant, there was a lot of a warm, homely atmosphere. It's an open kitchen, and the ceiling is exposed high with a wooden frame, so even though it's a house, it's cool and not stuffy. If you eat a lot of tendong food, you can't help but feel greasy, It's not a food you eat in stuffy, narrow places. I had a good meal! I ate the basic tendong and the special tendong. Both were delicious! (Original) 일반주택을 음식점으로 리모델링해서 그런지 가정의 따듯한 분위기가 많이 났구요 오픈형 주방이고, 천정이 목재틀로 높게 노출되어있어서 주택이지만 답답하지 않고 시원시원해요 텐동 음식자체가 많이 먹으면 느끼할 수 밖에 없지만, 답답하고 좁은 곳에서 먹는 음식이 아니어서 기분좋게 식사했어요! 기본텐동이랑 스페셜텐동 먹었는데 둘다 맛있었어요!

(Translated by Google) A restaurant where you can eat Tendon with admiration. It is no exaggeration to say that I would go to Gyeongju to visit this house. It's one of the most delicious tendon I've ever had. The right thickness and crispiness of the batter, the richness of the sauce, the plating sense that prevents it from getting soggy, and the generous portion. It is an overwhelmingly superior meal that leaves nothing to be desired. I also tried basil tomatoes as they were recommended, and they go well with tendon. It's refreshing and sweet, so it's very useful for controlling your food pace. Yeodogaju, it's worth waiting in line to eat. It was a very enjoyable meal. thank you (Original) 감탄하며 먹는 텐동 맛집. 이 집을 방문하러 경주를 간다고해도 과언이 아닙니다. 먹어본 텐동 중에 손에 꼽을 정도로 맛있습니다. 적당한 튀김옷의 두께와 바삭함, 소스의 감칠맛, 눅눅해짐을 방지하는 플레이팅 센스, 그리고 푸짐함까지. 뭐 하나 놓치는 것이 없는 압도적으로 우월한 한끼입니다. 바질 토마토도 추천받아 먹어봤는데, 텐동과 어우러짐이 좋습니다. 상큼하며 달달하니, 음식 페이스 조절에 아주 유용하더군요. 여도가주, 줄서서 먹을 가치가 있습니다. 너무 즐거운 한끼였습니다. 감사합니다.

(Translated by Google) I happened to visit there while on a family trip to Gyeongju. I went in the evening, but there were no indoor seats, so I sat at an outdoor table and ordered soup tteokbokki, carbonara, chicken karaage, and beer. It wasn't anything special, but the food we ordered all tasted good and there was enough food for a family of three, so everyone was satisfied. However, since the place was right next to the road, there was a bit of a smell of smoke when cars passed by, but other than that, the outdoor tables had a nice atmosphere and were nice. I think it was nice and had a better atmosphere in the evening.

Yes, you cannot differentiate because people want to stay in the country. yours illegally They are better equipped to answer your questions than tourists.

Very small airport. Get snacks before the security check, as there is only a small cafe inside. Not enough seats for people to sit down, and only 1 restroom past security. On the plus side, security and customs is very fast.

Ulsan Airport

Airport
Domestic airport
Ulsan Airport, formerly known as Ulsan Station, is conveniently located on the outskirts of the city with easy connections to Busan, Miryang, and Dongdaegu. The terminal area offers limited seating but is clean and well-maintained. It's easily accessible from the main street and provides close parking. Inside, there are restaurants and a coffee shop available. Despite its small size, it has all the necessary facilities and is well-connected to the downtown area.
This is my first time in Ulsan Korea Nice and clean city.

Small but clean and well maintained. Parking is very close to the building and the airport is just off the main street. Very easy to get to. Prices at the convenience store were also not inflated, which is always nice. I didn't see any recycling bins, which is a shame.

It’s a small airport but has everything it’s supposed to have and most of all it’s located very close to the downtown area of the city, not to mention very well-connected.

Same as Korea neat n clean not so crowded. Didn't found much to buy or food cafe. Have limited flights.. People working around very humble and helpful.

The terminal area has very limited sitting spaces to deal with the waiting time before boarding. Especially at the airside (after security area), you may have to stand near the boarding area. Comparing to the expected passengers of two narrow body aircrafts, the airport has smaller number of chairs. Recommend to make it short time at airport.

Ulsan airport is small domestic airport. There are normally no waiting times at check in or security check. Inside the airport are some restaurants and a coffee shop. The airport is clean and everything is easy to find.

Gimhae International Airport

International airport
Airport
Visitor Centers
Gimhae International Airport, which has been serving the Basan area since 1976, provides a convenient travel experience for visitors. The airport offers a variety of dining options and direct rail service, making it easily accessible by light rail connection. Travelers can reach Sasang Station in under 10 minutes via the light rail, providing seamless access to the subway line and Inter-city Seobu Bus Station. Clear directions and signage within the airport ensure smooth navigation for visitors.
On 21 March, 2025, our party of eight arrived here direct from Hong Kong. On passport control, waiting time was reasonable, and there was no need to show the e-confirmation of preregistration of the person. Green customs channel was friendly. On 27 March, 2025, our party of six returned (two members left earlier). Before checking in, we first went to the loss and found to pick up a lost smartphone of one member who left earlier; then, we did the tax refund registration at an e-kiosk. After checking in and while passing through security clearance, two bags of kimchi couldn’t be carried on board and we surrendered them. After security clearance, we went to a tax refund counter to get cash refund (in won, yen or US$) and then used some of the refund to buy kimchi again at Lotte Duty Free. We’re content.

Pretty crazy that an international airport in a first world country, like South Korea is only open for set times. definitely a first for me, My spouse and others had to sleep or wait outside the airport with mosquitoes. Especially for tourist who have certain allocated checkout times. Seen better in 3rd world countries.

I was genuinely surprised and disappointed by the experience at Busan’s Gimhae International Airport. The lines were extremely long and moved painfully slowly — from check-in to security to immigration. The entire process felt disorganized and inefficient, and it took far longer than it should have. For a country as developed and technologically advanced as South Korea, this level of service is far below expectations. There was little communication or guidance, and the lack of staff only made things worse. Travelers were visibly stressed and confused, and there didn’t seem to be any urgency to improve the flow. I sincerely suggest the airport authorities look to countries like Singapore as a benchmark. Despite handling a much larger volume of passengers, Singapore’s Changi Airport operates with such speed and efficiency that you almost never have to wait in line. It’s a world-class example that Gimhae Airport could learn a lot from. Busan deserves a better international gateway, one that truly reflects the modernity and efficiency South Korea is known for.

The place is clean and well organized except for the immigration, they took very long time and only let Korean people go first. Foreigner line was at least 1 hr waiting. Please improve this issue.
AMPatGie — Google review
This is a far below normal standard airport. Upon arrival of three flights in the morning, there is only one single immigration counter open for foreign passports. Korean passports using the e-gates still enjoy another three manual counters for pretty much no crowd. End up waiting 1.5 hours for 30 pay ahead of me to be cleared. Plus point though, the airport is clean.

Relatively small airport with one large duty free shop. There are several lounges, and it is clean. The gates are easy to find and there are lots of seats. One negative thing is that the security line requirements are a bit misleading. They told us we need to hand carry our battery packs, but they didn’t check that at security. Not sure what we were supposed to do, but it was fine.
Kat — Google review
For a modern country welcoming tourists, the first impression is arrivals at the airport. I was greeted with an immigration line of 1 hour and 15 mins. This delay caused me to reschedule my itinerary. Come on Busan, you can do better!!!
SJ P — Google review
It was chaotic at the international terminal! Our flight was at 10am, we arrived at 7.30am, completed check in with boarding passes were ready at 7.45am. And then the chaos was started! All passengers needed to go through the pre-security-check, meaning the staff checked and scan boarding pass and passport. Thousands of passengers tried to secure a place in the long and disorganized lines, just to sneak into 4 gates.
