Gunsan Old Town: what to see and do
A quiet port town whose old streets keep buildings from the early 1900s, so walking here feels like stepping into another era.
Known for
- Gunsan Modern History Museum near the old port
- Gyeongam-dong Railroad Village, tracks lined with shops
- Lee Seong-dang, the town's famous old bakery
What to do
Walk between the old buildings and the railroad village, then buy bread at Lee Seong-dang. Finish with seafood near the port.
Tip: The old town is compact, so you can see most of it on foot in half a day.
From Seoul: Express bus 2 h 40
