🏠 Bukchon Hanok Village — Where Tradition Lives in the Heart of Seoul




Tucked between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces lies Bukchon Hanok Village, one of Seoul’s most charming and photogenic neighborhoods. Walking through its narrow alleys lined with beautifully preserved hanok (traditional Korean houses) feels like stepping back in time — yet the modern city skyline is never far away.

Once home to nobles and scholars during the Joseon Dynasty, Bukchon still keeps its quiet elegance. Many of the hanoks are now transformed into cozy cafés, craft studios, and guesthouses, allowing visitors to experience Korea’s cultural heritage up close.

The best way to enjoy Bukchon is simply to wander. Climb up the gentle slopes for stunning rooftop views of tiled roofs stretching toward the mountains, or rent a hanbok for that perfect photo moment in traditional style.

Early morning is the most peaceful time to visit — the sunlight over the wooden eaves and stone walls makes everything glow softly, like a scene from a historical drama.

📍 Location: Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea
🕘 Opening Hours: Open all day (residential area — please keep quiet)
🎟️ Tip: Respect local residents, avoid loud noises, and visit nearby Insadong or Samcheong-dong cafés for a relaxing end to your walk.
