A “second Venice” that brings the sights and sounds of the Italian ”city of water” to the beautiful island of Jeju, Venice Land is a place where visitors can enjoy a European getaway without going abroad.

Every year, visitors flock to Venice Land’s scenic theme park, World Ethnic Museum, and artificial waterway complete with gondolas. On a leisurely gondola ride — recommended by previous visitors as the park’s top attraction — passengers can see Korea’s largest artificial forest, plus a waterfall and exquisite garden on both sides of the waterway. The carp swimming amongst the boats will have you feeling as if you were truly in Venice. One of the best ways of appreciating Venice Land is having your photograph taken in the photo zone with various illusory backgrounds, including one that transports visitors to the Rialto Bridge in Venice.

The World Ethnic Museum not only offers a fun and eye-catching collection of handcrafts by various indigenous peoples from around the globe, but also enables visitors to learn about and experience the lifestyles and cultures unique to different indigenous groups.
