Visit Petite France

Your journey takes you to Petite France, an beautiful European village established in 2014. Spanning about 7 acres with genuine French architectural elements, this park transports guests into the heart of France while still being located in South Korea. Key attractions include a 35-meter replica Eiffel Tower, traditional French pastries from a quaint bakery, and scenic lakeside paths for walking. Petite France opened in May 2014 as part of Gapyeong's tourism promotion efforts through unique cultural experiences. Visitors typically spend around two hours enjoying leisurely strolls, taking photos, and savoring French cuisine at the park’s cafes. The attention to detail in recreating Parisian life makes it a standout destination.

Explore Nami Island

Nami Island offers one of South Korea's most beautiful natural landscapes over 400 acres featuring its iconic lake and lush forests. Opened in 1987, the island provides tranquility for Seoul residents away from city life. Visitors can enjoy a 2-kilometer walking path around Lake Nami, visit an alpaca farm, or explore seasonal flower gardens throughout the year. Named after a local farmer who donated his land to create this park, it plays a significant role in community development and environmental preservation. Guests usually spend about three hours here engaging in hiking, boating on the lake, and visiting attractions like the alpaca farm.

Discover Italian Village

The tour continues at Gapyeong's Italian Village where you can admire authentic Italian-style architecture and charming village streets over 10 acres. Established in 2017 to enhance tourism offerings with unique cultural experiences, this village features a replica Leaning Tower of Pisa standing at 35 meters tall, cafes serving Italian cuisine, and cobblestone streets lined with artisan shops. The village opened in October 2017 and quickly became a popular tourist spot due to its detailed recreation of an Italian town. Visitors typically spend about two hours exploring the area, enjoying local food, and shopping for souvenirs.
