Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Jeonju
Book a free walking tour in Hanok Village. Professional guides explain history and culture in depth. Tours available in English daily
Try bibimbap for lunch, not dinner. Most famous bibimbap restaurants close between 3-4pm. Arrive before 1pm to avoid long queues
Visit Omokdae for best panoramic view of Hanok Village. Free and perfect for sunset. Short uphill walk from the village
Depart from Yongsan Station, not Seoul Station. KTX Jeolla line does not stop at Seoul Station. Check train schedules carefully
Try local rice wine (makgeolli) with pajeon (green onion pancake). Classic pairing in Jeolla region. Best enjoyed on rainy days
Cards widely accepted. Carry some cash for street food stalls and markets. ATMs in every convenience store like CU, GS25, 7-Eleven
