Jeonju Overview Trip ideas Experiences Places to visit Best time to visit Accommodation Back to all places Love Korean food? Then you’ll most likely love Jeonju too – Koreans themselves call this charming city their culinary capital. And if filling your belly’s not enough, its central district of traditional wooden hanok buildings might just be the most attractive neighbourhood in the country. Connects with South Korea SeoulSpend a week in Seoul, and you’ll most likely come away feeling that you’ve barely scratched the surface – this hyperactive, endlessly beguiling megalopolis somehow feels uber-cool, hyper-modern, charmingly traditional and historically fascinating, all at the same time. South Korea BusanKorea’s bustling second city often comes out in first place with visitors, and it should be no surprise – as well as boasting the country’s most popular beach and Asia’s biggest film festival, “Seoul by the sea” has spent the last decade cementing its reputation as the country’s hippest destination. South Korea GyeongjuAn ancient East Asian capital, seat of power for a thousand years, and still home to a staggering host of treasures from that period – it’s hard for Gyeongju to avoid comparisons with Kyoto, though we’d argue this little city is actually even better than its far more famous Japanese counterpart. With perhaps the most famous traditional hanok village in the country and a reputation as the foodie capital of Korea, Jeonju really is an all-around winning destination. "I rented a colourful hanbok dress from one of the many stalls around the village and spent my time weaving through the maze-like alleyways, stopping at the various trinket shops, charming cafés and museums, and snapping some great photos along the way. Wanting to test the city’s foodie credentials, I made sure to tuck into the regional specialities, the sweet treat, choco pie (visit PNB bakery for the original version. You’ll have to queue, but it’s worth it) and Jeonju bibimbap rice bowl – although be warned, it’s presented so beautifully you’ll be hesitant to dive in! Round off the day with a kettle-full (yes, really) of makgeolli rice wine and consider yourself well fed.” Why book with InsideAsia?
