Hanok Village Stroll🏮

Seoul’s time machine move: renting a hanok and dressing up in traditional clothes to stroll Bukchon Hanok Village is seriously next-level 🏡😮. Set in the heart of the city, Bukchon (37, Gyedong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul — open 24/7) treats you to winding alleys packed with gorgeous wooden homes, tiled roofs, and photo ops every five steps.

If you want Insta-worthy snaps, go classic: rent your own hanok for the night and grab a hanbok (traditional outfit) from one of the nearby rental shops (plenty line the village entrance). Wandering in hanbok through quiet lanes at sunrise or golden hour unlocks a whole different Seoul vibe — plus, locals are super friendly and love the look.

Extra tip: the area gets crowded after 11am, so plan to explore early for your best chance at empty backdrops and that peaceful village feel. Pro tip for foodies stop by the tiny tea houses and old-school rice cake shops. I went to ossuloc tea house before going ahead to change to traditional clothes.

Getting around is easy: Bukchon is a short walk from Anguk Station (Line 3). Tap your T-money card on city subways and buses to zip around; Seoul’s transit is super efficient. Cash up at convenience stores if you run low, but most places take cards. English signs are everywhere, so no stress if you don’t speak Korean.

Don’t sweat the weather — spring and autumn are perfect for hanbok strolls, and you can hang out in your hanok all year round!
