Getting there

Fares and schedules change. Prefer official pages on your travel day.

The official Cheongnamdae page (accessed Sep 26, 2026) gives the address, the driving route via Munui, and the Cheongju City tour bus; you buy your admission ticket at the site. We have not verified a public bus route, so check Naver Map (English UI) on the day.
