Top 10 Things to do in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do
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.

If you are in Korea and miss this opportunity to visit Jeonju Hanok Village you will do yourself a disservice. Korea being a very modern country this opportunity to step into the past should not be missed. Remember though that this is a MUST see place for Koreans as well and in summer is very busy. The area with all the old buildings has a Catholic church, still in use, to the Gyeonggijeon Shrine dating back 1000 years. You can rent a Hanbok or traditional wear for the day and the roads were filled with young people dressed in these traditional garments. Every type of food is on offer and the prices are all affordable. This is a must see whilst in Korea, if you don't have the time........make the time.

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.

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!

Located on the edge of the Jeonju Hanok Village is this most impressive and distinctly different style of architecture, this Catholic church was built between 1908 and 1914. The architectural style is described as Roman-Byzantine, the rooftop has three Byzantine bell towers, it was particularly spectacular to see on dusk. The church was built to remember the Roman Catholic martyrs of the Joseon Dynasty who lost their lives on this very spot. It is listed as national treasure number 288.

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.

A great moment discovering a village on the hill in front of Jeonju. Interesting contrast with Hanok village nearby.
