Top Gyeongju Hotels

Gyeong-ju is a fantastic area! We rented bicycles and spent two days exploring the historic Shilla and Buddhist sites in the region, often using the bike paths that circulate for miles and miles along the highways. The endless rice fields were another beautiful riding area. We also hiked a lot, ate well (but not in our hotel!) and had a lot of fun in the city in the evenings. Staying near the lake was nice - quieter at night, and right on the bus route into town.

If you are looking for the ultimate romantic escape from the big city, this is the destination in Korea. Boman Lake Resort in Geyongju is an accessible retreat to nature and romance. Several high-end hotels line the lake shore and provide luxury accomodations and dining. Many activities are within walking distance. Some activities seem especially designed for couples such as moonlit rowboats rides on the lake and bicycles built for two. The traditional Korean atmosphere of the area is unique to Geyongju and allows the visitor to have an insight into the history and culture of the Korea. The numerous ancient burial sights, temples and cultural treasures, make this a really wonderful and memorable destination in Korea.

I travelled around by taxi as I wanted to go to places that was included on some of the tours offered there. Taxis in Korea is very cheap and the driver was very helpful and I was not overcharged for being a tourist! <BR><BR> April is a good time to travel with a really good weather and few tourists around. I think if it had been more to the beginning of the month, I would have been able to see thousands of cherry trees in bloom and I expect that would have been so beautiful!
