About this itinerary
Gunsan is known for its markets and long-running local eateries, which makes it a great city to eat your way through on foot. This itinerary centers on places like Myeongsan Market (Gunsan Myeongsan Market), Mannam Snack, Gunsan Peace Museum, and every meal is a short walk from the stop before it.
From Incheon Airport it takes about 4 hr 45 min by AREX and an express bus. Anything within about 20 minutes on foot, you walk.
You stay all 2 nights near Japanese Traditional House (Hirotsu House), Shinheung-dong, Gunsan and start every day from the same place — no repacking.
Day 1: Myeongsan Market (Gunsan Myeongsan Market), Mannam Snack, Gunsan Peace Museum. Lunch at Jilin Seong, dinner at Hanilok.
Day 2: Gunsan Port 1981, Gunsan Time Travel Village, Shin Young Market (Gunsan), Jungdong Hotteok, Yeokjeon Comprehensive Market. Lunch at Sijanggimbap, dinner at Hoyeon Sikdang.
Day 3: Rose Gallery, Gunsan Modern History Museum. Lunch at Seo Rae Kalguksu. Then head back to Incheon Airport.
Some market stalls close by late afternoon, so earlier is better. Go a little hungry and share small plates at several places.
Times in this plan are worked out from the distance between stops and how long you stay at each one. Feel free to drop a stop or two for a slower pace. Every stop has location and directions buttons that open the map directly.
