Bukchon Hanok Village
Traditional hanok lanes and photogenic viewpoints.
Why go
Bukchon is a hillside neighborhood of preserved hanok (traditional houses) between two palaces, with quiet lanes and rooftop views.
It's a living residential area, so it rewards a calm, respectful stroll.
Set on the hill between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung palaces, this centuries-old quarter is famous for its 'Bukchon Hanok 8 Views' photo spots, and many of its old houses now hold craft workshops, tea houses and tiny museums you can step into.
