The best shopping in Jeonju isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Jeonju Hanok Village and Gyeonggijeon Shrine are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Hanji paper making — the kind of find you can't replicate online.

Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Jeonju. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Jeonju Hanok Village — over 700 traditional Korean houses, one of the best-preserved hanok neighborhoods in the country, Gyeonggijeon Shrine — a shrine housing the portrait of the Joseon dynasty founder, set in beautiful grounds, Jeondong Catholic Cathedral — a Romanesque-Byzantine church built in 1914 on a site where Korean Catholics were martyred, plus hidden gems like Hanji paper making — workshops where traditional Korean mulberry-bark paper is still made by hand.
Use this page as a starting point for a Jeonju walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Jeonju. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Jeonju for food and culture, but every walking route ends up passing through Jeonju Hanok Village and Gyeonggijeon Shrine and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Hanji paper making — it reflects what the people of Jeonju actually buy, make, and value.
The Hanok Village is compact and walkable. Rent a hanbok (traditional dress) at one of the many shops — you'll get free or discounted entry to many sites.
