A Slow Day in Anguk, Seoul – Hanok Views & Healing Soup

#cityplaybook

If you’re looking to spend a day in Seoul that’s calm, beautiful, and full of quiet charm, head to Anguk. Just a few steps from the buzz of the city, you’ll find yourself surrounded by history, art, and traditional Korean elegance.

I started my day in Bukchon Hanok Village, where winding alleys and tiled rooftops create the perfect setting for a slow, mindful walk. It’s one of those places where you keep stopping just to take it all in.

Not far away, I found a small art house with an open terrace. The view from the top? A soft blend of old Seoul and green hills in the distance. Peaceful and a little poetic.

For lunch, I stopped by Baeknyeon Tojong Samgyetang, a well-known spot for Korean ginseng chicken soup. The broth was rich and comforting—just what I needed after a morning of walking.

Why I recommend Anguk:
・It’s a beautiful blend of tradition and creativity, perfect for thoughtful travelers
・The slower pace and stunning hanok scenery make it a great break from the city’s fast rhythm
