파주 가볼만한곳So today, I’m going to recommend 5 places to visit in Paju, which is the best for an outing near Seoul. I’ll introduce you to places where you can enjoy not only cafes but also cultural life and nature, so why not go to Paju for an outing this weekend?
Heyri Art Village is a place where creative spaces created by artists from various fields are gathered, and if you visit Paju, it’s a must-see place in Paju. Paju Heyri Village has many things to see, such as workshops, galleries, museums, and cafes, so many people visit for a weekend outing.
Music Space Camerata, located in Heyri Village, is a great place to enjoy classical music and contemplation based on the collection of vintage audio, LP, and CD collected by Hwang In-yong, a former announcer who worked as a radio DJ for about 40 years.
The first floor of the three-story space features classical music carefully selected by Hwang In-yong, while the second and third floors are art exhibition spaces where you can enjoy paintings and sculptures by various artists. We recommend this place in Paju where you can fully enjoy your visit.
The Hangil Book Museum in Heyri Village is operated by Hangilsa, a humanities publisher, and you can view exhibitions on various topics from the basement to the third floor. In the basement, you can see an exhibition titled ‘Books Loved by Vincent van Gogh’.
In particular, you can enjoy an even more interesting viewing because Gogh’s room is recreated in a realistic manner. Also, an Andy Warhol exhibition is held on the second and third floors. You can view works that utilize a variety of colors through magazines, children’s books, and pop art containing Andy Warhol’s paintings.
In addition, the Art Center White Block space exhibits various artists’ works by period, and it is a cultural space where you can enjoy new exhibitions every time, so it is the second place to visit in Paju.

The botanical garden cafe Munjiri 535 located in Paju sells bread, brunch, coffee, etc. in a large indoor botanical garden, so much so that it is fitting to describe it as a cafe located in a botanical garden.
It is a place worth visiting in Paju where there are small chairs between the botanical gardens and photo spots hidden here and there, so you can take a picture of your life.
The rice fields visible through the large windows add to the atmosphere, and after using the store, you can purchase small flower pots and diffusers in the shop space next to the entrance.

Imjingak Peace Nuri is a place created to remember the painful history of the division of the North and South along with the Wind Hill. There are various things to enjoy here, such as a large lawn square, experience facilities, and a gondola, so I recommend it as a place worth visiting in Paju.
After passing the Imjingak Tourist Information Center, you can see places that preserve the history of division, such as the ‘Peace Bell’ created with the wish for peace, and the ‘Mangbaedang’ built with the longing for hometowns of those who left their hometowns due to the war.
In addition, on the other side of the Tourist Information Center, there is a park created to pray for the peaceful unification of the South and the North, and there are about 3,000 pinwheels and a pin-shaped sculpture at the top of the hill, making it a great place to visit in Paju to enjoy a picnic and take pictures.

– Suspension Bridge, Observatory: March to October, daily 09:00 to 18:00
Majang Lake Suspension Bridge is a place worth visiting in Paju where you can enjoy the nature of Paju, as it is surrounded by a lake and a mountain. If you climb the gentle hill connected to the Majang Lake parking lot and go up to the observatory, you will see the beautiful water color of Majang Lake and the lush forest.
When you come down from the observatory, you can cross the suspension bridge built over the lake. The middle part of the suspension bridge is made of tempered glass, making it even more thrilling.
In particular, if you start from the observatory and cross the suspension bridge, the 3.6km waterside deck path around the lake is a gentle path, making it great for visiting with children. We recommend it as a weekend outing in Paju.
