Cafe Arae Heon 카페 아래헌
Gyeongju · Bulguksa, Seokguram & Bomun · Cafe
Between the town and the temple, this cafe occupies a hanok with a wooden veranda facing paddy fields. Sitting on the raised floor with a drink in warm weather is the main point, and in spring and autumn the veranda is the best spot. The menu is a mix of coffee, tea and light desserts, simple to order by pointing.
It is a restful stop after the temple hill, when your feet might need a break. Prices may change and cards are usually accepted. In winter the indoor seats are cozy.
Parking is available in front. Go mid-afternoon to avoid weekend crowds.
It is a 10-minute walk from the Bulguksa stop, on the road to the temple. Parking in front. (Show a driver: 카페 아래헌)
