Time travel in Gyeongju: Korea’s ancient capital
Often referred to as Korea’s ‘museum without walls’ Gyeongju is an archaeological and architectural wonderland, comprising more marvels from the Middle Ages than any other place in the country. Overwritten with an epic history that saw Gyeongju as the capital of the ancient Shilla kingdom from the 1st to the 10th centuries, it is worth taking a few days to explore the many tombs, temples and ruins of this UNESCO-protected site.
Spend a few days gawking at Gyeongju’s historical sites and you might just feel like you’ve travelled through time to an ancient era when Buddhist spiritualism and Shilla monarchs reigned supreme.
