Looking for a smaller-town vibe in South Korea? We chose to spend a few nights in Gyeongju, going so far as to find a traditional Korean apartment (where you sleep on a thin mat on a heated floor). It was a super unique experience however next time I probably would choose to do it when not 20-weeks pregnant…
The colorful temples and the smaller town feeling (plus the fact that this region is steeped in Korean history) was a huge highlight in our trip to South Korea!
