Gunsan itineraries

Old Town Time Travel

The museums, the Japanese-era houses, the photo studio from the movie and the railway village all sit within walking distance of each other. Come by bus, leave the car at home, and walk the whole day.

One Day Town, One Day Islands

Day one on foot through the old port streets, day two by car out to the Gogunsan islands. Town and sea, with no backtracking.

Gunsan at an Easy Pace

Bakery, tracks, lake, trail and islands, never more than a few stops a day. A pace that works with parents or kids in tow.
