Travel from Busan to Gyeongju
When traveling between Busan and Gyeongju, you have a few options, but the train service is particularly popular for its speed and comfort.
KTX (Korea Train Express)
The KTX journey itself, covering the distance between Busan Station and Shin-Gyeongju Station, is an exceptionally short ride duration. Depending on the schedules, the journey duration is approximately 34 min, while some fast trains can even complete the route in just 27 min.
However, it is located in a way that Shin-Gyeongju Station is outside the main Gyeongju downtown area. While the actual travel time on the KTX train is very quick, taking the time to explore how to get from the station to the city's main attractions must be factored into your overall trip plan.
Intercity Bus
While the KTX prioritizes speed, the bus is an available alternative for this route. You can catch a bus from several locations in Busan, including the Busan Central Bus Terminal (Nopo Station) or Busan Seobu Bus Terminal in Sasang. This option offers a direct journey to the central location of the city, arriving at the Gyeongju Intercity Bus Terminal, which is closer to the historic downtown area. However, the bus increases the journey time and duration, typically taking about 1 to 1.5 hours to reach your destination.

You can secure your ticket by purchasing train tickets online or visiting the ticket desks at any major rail stations. When booking, make sure to confirm your travel date and departure time.
Pro Traveler Tip
