Bukchon Hanok Village

Why not take a stroll through a traditional Korean village after seeing the palaces of Seoul? Between the two great palaces, Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung are Bukchon Hanok Village. It has between 800 and 900 hanboks (traditional Korean houses). Because of its location, Bukchon means "north village" in Korean. You must climb a short distance, but it is well worth the effort.

You can get a sense of what life was like in Korea 600 years ago during the Joseon era. High-ranking government officials, lords, and influential families all lived in the village. It is still a residential neighborhood today, so please be respectful when visiting the village.

Location: Jongno-gu, Seoul
