[2025 Gyeongju Attraction] Travel Guide for Seongdong Market (Updated Apr)

If you want to experience authentic Korean traditional living, Sillabang Guesthouse (신라방) is a fantastic place to stay. This renovated hanok is located right in the city center, offering both convenience and rustic charm. Our room was spacious, equipped with high-speed internet and a large TV. The bed (tatami) was comfortable, and thanks to the traditional Korean floor heating, it stayed warm even on cold days! It is adjacent to Seongdong Market, where you can buy fresh gimbap or pig's feet. You can walk to the Wolseong Fortress Wall and the bus stop, which will take you to Bulguksa Temple, Anapji Pond, and all other tourist attractions in town. Free bicycles are provided, making it easy to explore most of the sights in a day. The courteous hanok owner is always helpful, offering free eggs, bread, coffee, and tea at any time. There's also an adorable dog that might bark at you initially but is actually very friendly. We took the slower Mugunghwa train from Busan to Gyeongju, and when we arrived at Gyeongju Station, Sillabang Guesthouse was just a 10-minute walk away. The Mugunghwa train is cheaper and takes less than 2 hours from Busan to Gyeongju, so if you're planning to include both cities in your itinerary, consider taking it. If we visit Gyeongju again, we would definitely stay here! The website is entirely in Korean, which might be intimidating, but just email the owner, and they will sort everything out.

#GyeongjuTravel #GyeongjuSeongdongMarket #GyeongjuFood * When I travel, I also like to look around the local market! Be sure to stop by Seongdong Market, which is full of food :) I recommend Treasure Gimbap! - Everyday 07:00-20:00 - I used the Seongdong Market public parking lot attached to the market - ​​If you purchase more than 10,000 won at the market, you get a 30-minute free parking ticket - ​​Treasure Gimbap: 5,000 won for 1 serving of gimbap → 2 strips of gimbap + braised burdock - Grandma's Octopus House: There are 10,000 won/20,000 won types → Purchase the 10,000 won one

#December Travel Support Event The seafood stew I had at Seongdong Market was impressive for its fresh and clean taste. It was filled with a variety of seafood, and the deep flavor of the broth blended well with the seafood. The spiciness was just right, whetting my appetite, and it wasn't oily at all, so I could enjoy it without feeling burdened. It was a taste I definitely want to go back for next time.

#Heart-pounding summer vacation Seongdong Market Restaurant Gyeongju ✨️Jinmi Bunsik✨️ is famous for its burdock kimbap, but it is rumored that its tteokbokki is more delicious than its burdock kimbap. The tteokbokki is so popular that you would want to ask for it to be stir-fried if you have ramen noodles, and it tastes even better when you eat it with the market-style noodles that are sold together. And the burdock kimbap, a specialty of this place, is also good to eat with tteokbokki. 🎯Seongdong Market, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do #Gyeongju #SeongdongMarket #Tteokbokki #GyeongjuRestaurant #Gimbap #JinmiBunsik #GimbapRestaurant
