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

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
