I'm planning a trip next weekend to Gyungju/Kyongju/however it's spelt in English and was wondering what was the best way to get there from Seoul. Also, is there a way I can reserve tickets online?

The best way is to go to the Gangnam Express Bus Terminal (there is a subway station called the Express Bus Terminal; it's line 2 or line 3 I think, in the southeast part of the Seoul subway map) and take an express bus to Gyeongju. The trip takes about 3 hours. There are lots of buses that leave throughout the day. I'm sure you can reserve tickets online, but you may have to understand Korean to do so. I would say just go there and buy tickets (ahead of time if necessary; maybe a day or two before?) Shouldn't be a problem.

Awesome thanks! I'd like to know the website where I can reserve these tickets too if anybody can help with that. I'll try looking for it on the internet.

The bus ticket reservation site is all in korean...

however the site does have an english link where you can see the timetables(but no reservation service)

the buses go every 35-50 mins so i am pretty sure a reservation is unnecessary.

I have never needed one for buses when i have travelled...sometimes i have to wait an hour for the next bus but it usually is OK.

it will take longer than 3 hours as well...closer to 4

Gyongju, the ancient Silla place? That place is awesome. Make sure you check out the museum and the giant bell.
