German Village

Gyeongsangnam-do


Here's a destination people visit because it's popular, not because it's interesting. Local marketing bumf calls it one of the island's best sites, but the German Village is yawningly underwhelming. There's nothing to do except walk on the street and remark how different the architecture looks compared to the Soviet-inspired apartment blocks spanning Seoul's Han River. If you do come, be prepared for crowds and traffic.
