Gyeongju to Seoul Map

Plan your trip from Gyeongju to Seoul on the Gyeongbu Corridor using KTX and ITX lines. The route passes Singyeongju, Daegu, and Daejeon en route to Seoul Station. Between cities expect coastal plains near Gyeongju, inland urban transitions around Daegu, and the Han River basin approaching Seoul. Use the national rail plan to check station stops and travel times across South Korea.

Rail vs Bus vs Plane

Rail services between Gyeongju and Seoul offer faster center-to-center travel and reliable departure times compared with long-distance buses.
