The places most often used as a destination in each district, from Tmap car-navigation data published by the Korea Tourism Organization for August 2026.

FAQ
What’s on in Gyeonggi this weekend?
APAP Artwork Tour (APAP 작품투어 (안양공공예술프로젝트)) (Mar 10 – Nov 30); Ssokssokdeul-i Festival (국립극장 쏙쏙들이페스티벌) (Mar 14 – Dec 26); Gombaengi Teotta (곰뱅이텄다) (Apr 4 – Nov 29) — from the Korea Tourism Organization’s festival listings. The news list below the festivals adds pop-ups and openings.
How do you pick the news items?
A web search collects reports from the last 45 days; we keep an item only if its source link opens and has a publication date, and show it with that outlet and date. We do not rank or endorse places.
How old is the visitor data?
It is the latest week the Korea Tourism Organization has published — usually about a month behind — so it shows where foreign visitors have been going, not today’s crowds.
Sources: Korea Tourism Organization festival data (TourAPI), big-data visitor counts (SK Telecom mobile data) and district destination rankings (Tmap navigation), all via data.go.kr; news items are linked to the outlet that reported them. Page rebuilt 2026-10-01.
