Gyeongju South Korea Travel Guide and Itinerary 2025 Asia Vlog | Retirement Travelers

This week we take a short train ride to Gyeongju from Daegu. Gyeongju, often called “the museum without walls,” is a city where Korea’s ancient past still lingers in the air. Once the capital of the Silla Kingdom for nearly a thousand years, it’s a treasure trove of royal tombs, stone pagodas, and historic temples tucked into lush hillsides. From the celestial mystery of the Cheomseongdae Observatory to the serene beauty of Bulguksa Temple, Gyeongju blends history and harmony like few places can. Whether you're cycling past lotus-filled ponds or watching the sunset over ancient palace ruins, Gyeongju is a poetic pause in Korea’s fast-moving story. South Korea continues to amaze us and we hope you enjoy our journey. Be sure to watch our vlogs from Seoul and Daegu as well. Thanks for following along with us and happy journeys, John and Bev 💬 STAY CONNECTED WITH US!
