Discover the most popular tourist attractions in Pohang on a private tour. Visit the Korean drama filming locations, Jukdo Fish Market, the Japanese House Street in Guryongpo, Space walk, Homigot Park, and Yeongildae.
Start your tour with a visit to the Jukdo Fish Market. Explore the largest traditional market on the east coast of Gyeongbuk with approximately 1,500 stores. Admire the fresh seafood bustling among the lively appearances of the merchants.
Space Walk is one of the most famous landmarks in Pohang. It is a large steel sculpture shaped like a roller coaster that visitors can actually walk on. Located in Hwanho Park, this unique structure was created by German artists Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth. The artwork was inspired by the steel industry of Pohang, a city known for the global steel company POSCO.
