Wandering through Bukchon Hanok Village feels like stepping into a living postcard. Nestled between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces, this traditional village is home to hundreds of well-preserved hanok (Korean traditional houses) dating back to the Joseon Dynasty.
Cobblestone alleys, curved rooftops, and wooden gates open a window into old Seoul — all while the modern city hums just beyond the hills. I strolled through its quiet lanes, spotting cozy tea houses, art galleries, and charming workshops hidden behind intricate wooden doors. ✨
The best part? You can rent a hanbok and blend right into the scene, making your visit even more magical. 📸 And the views of tiled rooftops against Namsan Tower in the distance? Simply unforgettable.
🌿 Travel Tips:
✅ Early morning = best lighting + fewer crowds
✅ Be respectful — it’s still a residential area
✅ Rent a hanbok nearby for a full cultural experience
✅ Explore nearby cafes and traditional craft shops
Bukchon isn’t just a village — it’s a walk through time, culture, and quiet beauty. A must-see for anyone wanting to feel the soul of old Seoul.
