Namsangol Hanok Village – An Urban Oasis of the Joseon Era

#seoulspots

Namsangol Hanok Village (남산골 한옥마을) offers a powerful contrast to the modern hustle of Seoul's central districts. Situated serenely at the foot of Namsan Mountain, the entire environment feels like a tranquil, preserved retreat. The village consists of five beautifully restored hanok (traditional Korean houses) relocated from different parts of the city, representing various social classes of the Joseon Dynasty.
The atmosphere is one of leisurely historical immersion. Unlike other hanok areas where residents still live, here you can wander the courtyards and premises freely, appreciating the detailed architecture and traditional design without intrusion. It is the perfect spot for travelers seeking a peaceful, restorative cultural break in the heart of the capital.
