Best Bukchon Hanok Village Day Trips & Things to Do

Bukchon Hanok Village, located between Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace in Seoul, is a charming neighborhood known for its hundreds of preserved traditional Korean houses, called hanok. Once home to aristocrats and government officials during the Joseon Dynasty, the village today offers visitors a chance to walk through narrow alleys and experience a living museum of Korean history and culture. Many hanok are still residences, while others have been converted into tea houses, cultural centers, and boutique galleries.
