Being the cultural and economic hub of the southeastern part of Korea, Gwangju is worth visiting if you're interested in this country. Also, Gwangju is the best place in Korea that hosts and preserves historical heritages regarding the military/dictatorial government in the last century. You're strongly recommended to visit the former Jeonnam provincial office and Jeon Il Building to witness the history of brave Korean people.Stéphane Lee Dong Jun - 10Scored 10

I stayed for two days and I think it was suitable for my needs. Make sure to go to Sajik Park and to the observatory there, sunset up there was so beautiful! Also there's a café so you can get a take-away coffee to the observatory deck and enjoy it there (or in the café if you prefer that, there are large windows with great views too). When you go in the evening, there are light installations in the park and reflected to the tower. Make sure to know basic Korean when you go to Gwangju or have a good translator since not everyone speaks English. I speak a bit of Korean so it was okay. T-Money card works well here and it's easy to get from the airport to the city by subway. If you are BTS ARMY like me, be sure to check out J-hope art in the Penguin Village and Gwangju Kpop Street!

Gwangju is a city of culture, arts and history.
Gwangju is a city of culture, arts and history. The people are kind and the food is great as well. Head to Yangrim-dong if you want a plenitude of cafes full of aesthetic. If you’re looking for places to eat, Dongmyeong-dong is where you should be. And Asia Culture Center is great to chill even after the sunset. The best part is that everything listed above is very close to each other. I visited Gwangju about 6 times and I can’t wait for the next. I love this city!

Of all the street shopping areas I have visited so far, I really enjoyed Gwangju's Chungjang-ro. We also visited the May 18 memorial and public cemetery, which had great information about the democratization movement.

We really appreciated the educational opportunities at places such as the 5.18 Archives, Liberty Park and Asian Cultural Center. For Americans.like us, learning.about the U.S. role in the military slaughter of Gwangju citizens in May 1980 was very important. The beauty of the Bamboo Forest and mountains nearby.was.stunning. Subway to the 5.18 Liberty Park (KDJ Convention Center stop) was easy enough to.figure out.EdUnited States - 10Scored 10

Gwanbju is wonderfull city, but I had litle time to visit because I participate in Fina Masters. I eat all around between swimming pool and Prince hotel. It is easy only if you know whwre exactly leed bus lines. I could not find som kind of touristic card with bus lines, I found only card with metro line. After few day and big time to study Gwangju it was easier but stil fatiguant.SSasaSlovenia

- From US$54.93 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 818 reviewsThere is a lot to like about this property. The price was great and included an excellent Korean-style breakfast. The coffee machine produces a decent Americano but is only available during breakfast hours. There was on-site, off-street parking and free wi-fi. About three or four blocks away there is a huge shopping and restaurant district that caters to 20-somethings and seems to be the it place to be after dark. it’s at least as big as Myeongdong in Seoul and quite fun to walk through, bright and vibrant, full of youthful energy.AAnonymousUnited States
- 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 96 reviewsBreakfast was self-serve (toast, jam, eggs, and coffee), which I liked! The host doesn't speak English but she is very kind and welcoming. Convenient location right across from ACC and near the trendy areas (Dongmyeong-done Cafe Street, Gwangju Art Street, and Chosun University). Walking distance to tourist attractions such as the 5-18 Archives, Jeonil Building 245 (highly recommend!), and Yangrim-dong/Penguin Village. Would go back in a heartbeat!
IsabelSouth Korea - From US$51.27 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 255 reviewsWe really enjoyed our stay a lot. As we traveled in off-season, the owners even upgraded our room without any extra cost! The owner was very kind and helpful; nice breakfast was made and we were able to put our bags in the accommodation before we could check into our room. The accommodation was also only about a 20 minute walk from the archives and culture center of Gwangju, and really close to the cute Penguin village!Tova Maria ChristinaSouth Korea

Hotel staff kindly lent me a USB charger because I left mine at home. They gave a complimentary full toiletries kit on arrival in addition to the soaps already in the room. Breakfast was simple and "OK", not many places give any breakfast.
