2025 Pohang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

It was a short getaway to Pohang, Korea. We started our day with a visit to Homigot Sunrise Square, one of the most iconic spots in Pohang. Arriving before sunrise 🌅 was magical, as we captured breathtaking photos 📸 of the giant Hand of Harmony sculpture against the rising sun. It’s a serene experience we would highly recommend for anyone visiting the city. 📍 Homigot Sunrise Square, Daebo-ri, Homigot-myeon, Nam-gu, Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do We then explored Jukdo Market, Pohang’s largest traditional market. Visiting around noon gave us the perfect opportunity to enjoy fresh seafood 🦀 and immerse ourselves in the lively atmosphere. The vibrant colors of the market stalls made it a great spot for candid photography and a true taste of local culture. 📍 Jukdo Market, 13 Jungang-ro 166beon-gil, Buk-gu, Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do We also visited Igari Anchor Observatory, a hidden gem 💎 with stunning ocean views. Morning visits here are ideal, as the sunlight sparkles on the sea and highlights the unique anchor-shaped structure. The walk along the nearby coastal path was refreshing and offered fantastic photography 📸 opportunities. 📍 Igari Anchor Observatory, Guryongpo-eup, Nam-gu, Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do Lastly, we ended our trip with a visit to Oeosa Temple, a tranquil and scenic Buddhist temple surrounded by lush forests. Visiting in the late afternoon allowed us to enjoy the golden hour light streaming through the trees, creating a peaceful and photogenic atmosphere. It’s a place we would recommend for anyone looking to unwind and connect with nature. 📍 Oeosa Temple, 93 Oeosa-gil, Ocheon-eup, Nam-gu, Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do Pohang is a mix of coastal beauty, cultural history, and local charm perfect for a short getaway 💯💯💯 #koreatrip #vacation #getaway

[Homigot 호미곶] This park in Pohang is impressive for its giant hand sculpture jumping out of the sea😊 It is imbued with the wish to "hold hands, help each other, and coexist," and the opposing left hand stands in the square in front. The person is wrist-high, so you can see how big it is. Both the sea and the land are giant "hands." At sunrise, it looks like the hands are holding the sun, so a grand sunrise festival is held in the New Year. There are also toilets in the square. There were food stalls set up that day, and I was able to eat crab😊 There are several seafood restaurants nearby, and you can eat live long-fingered octopus for a cheap price. It's a bit difficult to get to, but there is a lighthouse museum and I enjoyed the whole park area♫ 1.5 hours by bus from Pohang Airport✈️ There are few buses, so I recommend checking the return time😊 📍Address: 464 Guman-ri, Homigot-myeon, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea Both the park and the lighthouse museum are free♪ [National Lighthouse Museum] 국립등대박물관 🕰️Opening hours: 9am-6pm Closed on Mondays #Homigo #Hand object #Korea #Korea trip #100 travel styles

Visiting Hwanho Park was filled with fun and relaxation🌳. This park features vast green spaces and various facilities suitable for all ages🌸. I had a great time wandering among the trees and flowers🌺, enjoying the serene atmosphere and beautiful scenery🌼. The park has a children's play area🏞️, making it an ideal spot for families. Additionally, I enjoyed sitting on the comfortable seats and contemplating the surrounding natural beauty🌿. It was a fun and relaxing experience, and I loved spending time here away from the hustle and bustle of the city🏙️. I recommend visiting this place to enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty😊.

#Emotional Accommodation I enjoyed the Christmas start at Nana Hill Pool Villa🎄🎈Just watching the waves, sunrise, and sunset, the ocean view 1st tier pool villa that makes the day fly by🌊(Wow-) The sunrise right in front of the room at dawn is so touching,, I didn't know, but my mom said that it was the first time in 50 years that she saw the sun rising over the horizon. Seeing her happy after lying still for almost two hours and watching the sun rise makes my daughter happy+up🌅 📍Pohang Nana Hill Pool Villa 200 Bonghwa-gil, Songra-myeon, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk ▫️Check-in 15:00 / Check-out 11:00 ▫️Parking lot O ▫️I stayed in room 201, and each room has a different structure, so please refer to the website! ▫️2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, outdoor jacuzzi, infinity pool (30 degrees lukewarm water), indoor barbecue, indoor swimming pool, water purifier I personally think the sea is the prettiest in winter, so I really want to recommend Nana Hill Pool Villa this winter💙

I was pleasantly surprised by the city. We were supposed to go to the space walk in the afternoon but because of the heat we changed planned and went at the sunset and it was the best decision. The lightning and the view were amazing. I highly recommend going there. Be aware that you can feel some part of the structure moving because of the wind. It's safe, but it can be impressive. The city also is really nice, in the summer there is animations along the beach (stand, food, buskings, ...) #korea #southkorea #southkoreatravel #pohang #spacewalk #서울 #서울여행 #포항 #hwanhopark

Suddenly becoming famous, Jang Gil-ri Fishing Park's Boritdol Bridge has become a hot new place in Pohang! I was really curious about this travel destination after seeing the best drone video ever, and it's a place worth visiting at least once. Instead, I recommend going in the fall or spring, not in the middle of summer! There's no shade at all, and the bridge pier itself is really long, so it's really, really hot 😅🔥 If you walk over the sea and pass the bridge pier, you'll come across a fishing spot, and there were quite a few Taekong people there. Drones are not allowed without prior approval because it's a military area! If you take a picture from the observatory, you can get a similar feeling to a drone shot, so it's a place worth visiting at least once.🤎 - - 📍Boritdol Bridge 🧭4376-28 Donghaean-ro, Guryongpo-eup, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk ℹ️No admission fee/Only the top floor of the observatory is available #Pohang travel #SNS hot place

I went glamping for the first time with a cold and was worried that it would be cold, but the world was so warm and I had a great time 🥹🫧✨ It was so pretty thanks to the constantly changing lighting colors, and there was a beam projector so I could watch a movie while swimming!

As expected from an award-winning building, the building itself is stunning. This is Cape Lounge, a lounge café in Pool Villa Starscape! It is a regular café that can be used even by non-guests, but the view of the gorgeous pool villa building and outdoor pool (no swimming allowed) from the café, and the Pohang sea beyond, is truly a spectacular place that is unparalleled.🌊 Luckily, the weather was nice on the day I visited, and the waves were perfect, so I was able to stare blankly at the ocean. I sat on the comfortable sofa seats inside the café, briefly staring at the water and the view, and thought that I had found a café that I really liked. It's already famous, but if you haven't been there yet, I recommend you go at least once🙏 Signature coffee! It's just right for sweetness, so please try it💙 - - 📍Pohang Cape Lounge 🧭224 Guman-gil, Homigot-myeon, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk ⏰️9:00-20:00 ℹ️Indoor parking lot is spacious and comfortable There aren't many tables inside the cafe, so you have to be careful on weekends!

#pohangtravel #pohang #glamping #pohangglamping A glamping site with a view of the Pohang sea🌊 Each room has a private hot spring pool, so you can swim in a private hot spring pool 🏊🏻‍♂️ I stayed in the 🏷️Garden Pool Glamping T2 room As soon as I checked in, I was amazed by the large pool and the magnificent stone wall 🪨🌳🪵 You can see a large beam projector in the hot spring pool, so you can watch YouTube in the hot water, which was really great! The hot spring pool is open until 9 pm, but I was having so much fun with my friends, so it was great that the owner let me swim more,, 🤍 The water was so warm that I couldn't get out 😆🫶🏻✨ When you enter the glamping site, there is a kitchen space where you can cook and a cozy bedroom. You can turn on the boiler in the room, so it's so nice to sit on the floor and it's so warm. You might be reluctant to go to the glamping site on a cold day, but it was so nice to be in the hot spring pool and the warm space. 🤍 Lastly, there is a brazier where you can have a fire, so I put on a video with a projector and had a fire, and I enjoyed it perfectly. This is Pohang glamping site. 🪵🔥 Wave Glamping has two types of rooms. The garden pool glamping where I stayed is in the 200,000 won range, and if you want a more cost-effective option, the full glamping room is also good for 100,000 won. I think so! It was great to go with friends, and it would be great for a couple's trip to Pohang. Highly recommended as a Pohang accommodation✨ 📍 Wave Glamping @wave_glamping ✔️Garden Pool Glamping T2 ⏰ Check-in 15:00 / Check-out 11:00 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧Standard 2 people / Maximum 4 people 🏊🏻‍♂️Outdoor heated pool 💧 Air conditioning, refrigerator, coffee pot 🚿Bathroom supplies, shower facilities, hair dryer 📺Large beam projector 🚘Parking lot available 🧳 Guryongpo Beach, filming location for When the Camellia Blooms It's close to Guryongpo Modern Culture and History Street, so it's perfect for a Pohang trip!

◽ Sunrise Bread ◽ Address: 23-1 Jungang-ro, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk ◽ Parking: Available in front of the store ◽ Operating hours: 09:00 - 19:00 / Closed on Sundays ◽ Review I was looking around to buy souvenirs after traveling, but they were all expensive, so I decided on Sunrise Bread! It is also a specialty officially designated by Pohang City, and it is cheap at 16,000 won for 20 pieces, so if you are worried about expensive souvenirs, I recommend Sunrise Bread👍

The sea hand sculpture that comes to mind when you think of Pohang! It's Homigot 😌 It's a photo spot and a place that many people visit, so I visited it once during my trip to Pohang➰ It's a bit far from downtown Pohang, so it's not easy to get there without a car 😿 Still, it was nice to be able to enjoy the wide open East Sea along with the wonderful symbol of Pohang🥰 I hope you all visit it too💙 ꕀ ꕀ ᐝ ꕀ ꕀꕀ ꕀ ᐝ ꕀ ꕀꕀ ᐝ ꕀ ꕀꕀ ᐝ ꕀ ꕀꕀ ᐝ ꕀ ꕀꕀ 📍 Daebori, Homigot-myeon, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do ✔️ No admission fee / Parking available #Tourist attraction review

📍Oia Cafe & Pool Villa ✔️ 4266 Donghaean-ro, Guryongpo-eup, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk ✔️ All rooms have ocean views and indoor pools ✔️ Breakfast provided ▪️ It only takes about 20 minutes by car from Homigot, a famous tourist attraction in Pohang, so it was nice to be able to see Homigot and Guryongpo after visiting. 🫶🏻 ▪️ It is a place with a pool villa and cafe that opened in December 2022. Oia was created with the idea of ​​the southern island of Thira in the Aegean Sea in southeastern Greece and the village of Oia in Santorini. Perhaps because of this, the white and blue exterior walls of the building and the open ocean view really reminded me of Greece. Also, the cafe and pension are connected by a cloud bridge, so even those who only used the cafe could go to the rooftop of the pool villa and enjoy the ocean view.💙 #PohangTravel #Guryongpo #PohangPoolVilla #PohangCafe #PohangOia

📍 Gyeongbuk Pohang-si Nam-gu Songdo-dong 378-438 Songdo Beach, located in Pohang, is a place where you can see the beautiful sea even at night. If you go to the left, you can also see the night view of POSCO! You can also take a walk along the well-maintained path. Personally, the night view is pretty, so it's good during the day, but I was more satisfied at night. You should definitely stop by :)💙 #PohangTravel #Pohang #HotPlace

#CafeOilIl #Pohang ❣️Location: 199-3 Haean-ro, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk ❣️When you walk along Yeongildae Beach, you will see a unique cafe that is long and narrow toward the sea. That is (CafeOilil). It has a full-glass ocean view, so I definitely recommend getting a window seat!! It is a cafe with delicious strawberry drinks. It is not noisy, which is nice. It is a place where you can enjoy the sunshine and the sea together, and especially around Christmas, there is a tree and decorations. #YeongildaeCafe #YeongildaeBeach #PohangCafe #PohangHotPlace #OceanView #OceanViewCafe #CafeRecommendation #HotPlace #EmotionalCafe #InstaCafe

#Pohang #Spacewalk ❣️Location: Hwanho Park Spacewalk, Duho-dong, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk ❣️Now, when you look at Yeongildae Beach, which has become a landmark of Pohang, it looks like a roller coaster, and when you look at it at night, it looks like an octopus leg. It is located in Hwanho Sunrise Park, and if you follow the coastal path from Yeongildae Beach, you will see the place to go up. However, the line to go up the Spacewalk stairs is long... If you are just going to take pictures, you don't have to wait. #Yeongildae Beach #Pohang Travel #Places to Visit in Pohang #Pohang Hot Place #Pohang Travel Destination #Travel Destination Recommendation #Drive Course #Hot Place #Travel Attraction

🍷 Pohang ‘BREEZE653’ BREEZE653 is a new wine bar located in Yeongil-dae, Pohang! It is located on the 3rd floor, so the ocean view outside the window is really nice. ✨ As expected of a wine bar, they sell various types of wine, and I liked that the staff personally selected the wine that suited my taste☺️ The interior atmosphere was also really nice, and there were sofa seats, so I was able to enjoy it comfortably:) I thought it would be the perfect place for a year-end gathering or birthday party!

At Pohang Sabang Memorial Park, there is a ship that became famous for the Gaetmaeul Chachacha on the mountain. Because of the drama, Sabang Memorial Park was very crowded with tourists who wanted to see the ship. But we were able to take pictures with the ship and the sea in the background while giving way to each other in an orderly manner :) #TheBest #Pohang #PohangTravel #SabangMemorialPark #PohangHotPlacesToVisit
