Autumn brings a refreshing change in the air, making it the ideal time to cozy up with a good book. As the warmth of summer fades into crisp, cool breezes, many of us crave a quiet moment under a tree, lost in the pages of a novel.

Just a short trip from Seoul lies Paju Book City, a haven for book lovers and the literary heart of Korea.


Paju Book City isn’t just a place—it’s a living, breathing literary community. Home to countless publishing houses, this is where Korea's literary pulse beats strongest.

More than just a hub for the book industry, it's a space where writers, publishers, and readers come together. Walking through this unique district, you’ll find quaint cafes, independent bookstores run by publishers themselves, and pop-up events that celebrate everything about books.

At the center of it all is the Forest of Wisdom, an open library hosting events that draw book lovers from everywhere. Simply wandering through the streets here is a cultural experience, with something new to discover around every corner.
Every September, the city comes alive with the Paju Booksori Festival, an event curated by local publishers. This festival is a true celebration of books and the people who love them. Publishers set up creative pop-up stalls, showcasing their latest releases and all-time favorites.
Beyond book displays, the festival offers live performances, poetry readings, intimate talks with authors, and so much more. It’s a place where stories come to life, and visitors can engage directly with writers, ask questions, and dive deeper into the world of literature.
The beauty of the Paju Book Sound Festival is that it’s not just for avid readers—it’s for everyone. From food trucks dishing up tasty treats to musical performances and indie artists busking in the streets, there’s something for all ages.

Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or a loved one, you’ll find plenty to enjoy, making it a great day out for anyone who loves culture, food, and fun.
One of the most striking features of Paju Book City is its breathtaking architecture. When the city was being developed, only top-tier architectural designs were accepted, resulting in an environment that feels like a gallery of modern art.

These beautiful, thoughtful structures make it a popular spot for photoshoots and films, as well as a destination for architecture students to study. Imagine sitting down with a book in hand, surrounded by modern, artistic buildings—it’s an experience that blends the visual beauty of the city with the intellectual pleasure of reading.
As autumn settles in, why not make a trip to Paju Book City?
It’s more than just a place to buy books—it’s a destination that offers a perfect mix of culture, creativity, and beauty. Whether you’re passionate about literature or simply looking for a refreshing day trip, Paju’s unique charm will leave you inspired and eager to return.
