Top Culture in Yeongnam

Bring a snack or two, because there aren't many food options nearby. I regretted not bringing something with me and ended up buying overpriced snacks.

I recommend downloading an offline map of the area because Wi-Fi isn’t always reliable. I got lost a couple of times trying to find my way around!

I think it’s super helpful to download the museum's app before you go. They have cool audio guides and extra info—it really enriched my visit and made the experience much more fun!

I recommend arriving right when the museum opens at 9am. I got to enjoy the exhibits with way fewer people around, plus the morning light made for great photos.

Wear comfy shoes—I did a lot of walking on uneven paths, so my feet were pretty sore by the end!

If you're planning to take photos, do it early around 9 AM. The lighting is great and there are less people in the way. Later on, it's just a bit chaotic!

Be sure to check out the small museum shop! I found some unique souvenirs that are way cheaper compared to other tourist spots. Really worth it!

I think the tea room inside the museum is a hidden gem. Grab a seat by the window for a nice break and some quiet time amidst all the history. Relaxing!

Don’t ignore the outdoor area! There’s some beautiful gardens and ancient ruins that are perfect for a stroll. I missed it on my first round and regreted not exploring more.

I think the best time to go is either early in the morning, around 9 AM, or later in the afternoon, around 4 PM. You'll miss the crowds and get way better photos!

I recommend checking out the local food stalls around lunch time; the tteokbokki and kimbap are delish and way cheaper than eating in sit-down restaurants. Really hit the spot for me!
