Tour description
Going beyond the familiar postcard-perfect scenery, Gyeongju has a bold creative side, and on this walking tour, a local guide will lead you through characterful neighborhoods, street art alleyways, and modern cultural spaces – where the city freely expresses its identity today. This is a Gyeongju of mural painters, independent creatives, and the vibrant energy of its districts.
You'll hunt for impressive murals and graffiti, explore revitalized industrial areas or bohemian-flavored quarters, and hear about the artists, movements, and subcultures that have helped shape the city. Throughout the journey, your guide will share the stories behind each wall along with the most interesting independent stops along the way. Fresh and full of surprises, this is Gyeongju at its most creative.
