Sure, you don't need to be at the station until around 20 minutes before departure, but I just don't think you'd enjoy the rush of a checklist visit.
There are buses every 20 minutes or so allllll day nonstop to and from Busan.
OK, thanks. I decided to do one overnight at the Hilton so that'll give me two days in the area. I'm thinking this as my itinerary:
Day 1 (starting at Noon):
Bunhwangsa Temple & Hwangnyongsa Temple
Daereungwon Tomb Complex
Cheomseongdae Observatory
Gyeongju National Museum
Wolseong Fortress
Anapji Pond & Gyeongju Donggung Palace
Day 2 (Starting at 9am):
Gwaereung Tomb
Bulguksa Temple
Seokguram Grotto
Am I missing anything cool? Will this give me enough time?
Also - how best to get from place to place? Just hire a taxi and have him sit in car while I see the sights on Day 1 & 2 for example? Or?
