Gyeongju makes the best day trip from Busan, and I’ve compared the tours that do it justice. The city was Korea’s Silla capital for nearly a thousand years, and royal burial mounds still rise out of its center. Good itineraries pair Bulguksa Temple with Seokguram Grotto, both UNESCO listed.
Explore the ancient wonders of Gyeongju, the capital of the Three Kingdoms, on a guided day trip from Busan. Uncover history's secrets today!
