Gangneung Vacation Packages and Tours

Overview

Take a trip to Gangneung on your South Korea vacation.

Gangneung, a charming South Korean coastal city with 200,000 residents, hosted the 2018 Winter Olympics' ice events but offers more. It's famous for beaches like Jeongdongjin and Gyeongpo, perfect for sun-seekers and sunrise enthusiasts.

With a 2,000-year history, Gangneung boasts 34 state-designated heritage sites, like the Gate to an Official Inn and Ojukheon's historic buildings, the birthplace of scholar Yulgok.

The Jumunjin Seafood Market, established in 1936, is a culinary hub, and the city hosts events like the Gangneung Dano Festival in November. Summer enlivens the beaches, and spring paints the city with blooming azaleas.

Gangneung's size guarantees a vibrant nightlife, and its proximity to Pyeongchang and the Daegwallyeong region offers exciting winter-themed day trips, making it a dynamic blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
