9 Historic Sites in Jeonju That You Shouldn't Miss

April 15, 2022 Merry Kessler

Jeonju is a true foodie paradise, so beloved for its cuisine that it’s been deemed by UNESCO as a Creative City for Gastronomy. The best way to enjoy this South Korean city is to eat your way through it, savoring hearty regional specialties like bibimbap and kongnamul gukbap. Once you’re stuffed, hike up to the Omokdae and Imokdae stone monument, or just watch athletes burn calories at the World Cup Stadium.

Pungnammun Gate

Reviewed By XUANLIN - Singapore, Singapore

Close to Nambu Market, Jeonju Cathedral and the Gyeonggijeon. Visited once in the day and passed by once at night. Worth a visit. Probably take 5-10mins taking photos and you're done.

3. Omokdae and Imokdae

Omokdae and Imokdae

Reviewed By Gajayo - Seoul, South Korea

One of the popular and best viewpoints of Jeonju Hanok Village. Omokdae, located on top of the hill but very easily accessible, is a must-go if you wish to get a bird's eye view of Jeonju Hanok Village!

I love visiting slow cities like Jeonju and visit peaceful places like this. Very peaceful most of the time and not flooded with many tourists. Entrance is free too. Great place to take photos all year round.
