3. Jeonju

Insider Monkey Score: 10

Jeonju is another one of the best places to retire in South Korea; revered for its cuisine, natural beauty, and cultural heritage. While the food scene is pretty vast here, expats will find themselves ending up with a lot of bibimbap, a beloved Korean dish; and chocopies. The city also allows retirees to glimpse into Korea’s cultural heritage through its well-preserved Hanok village: a cultural village featuring traditional Korean Hanok houses, calligraphy & sake museums. Retirees can also enjoy themselves and try hiking, biking, and other activities in the nearby mountains and countryside. On average, the monthly cost of living in Jeonju is $1,200.
