This Gyeongju travel guide says to plan 2 full days for the 8 sites that matter most in Korea’s oldest royal city. Gyeongju (경주) was the capital of the Silla kingdom for almost 1,000 years, and its temples, burial mounds and palace ponds are spread across town, so you see them at walking pace instead of behind museum glass.
