Located between Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, and Jongmyo Shrine, Bukchon Hanok Village is a historic neighborhood that began as a residential area for the nobility during the Joseon era. Preserving the breath of 600 years of history in the center of Seoul, this is a special space where you can simultaneously feel the beauty of traditional hanoks and the tranquil atmosphere of the alleyways. The unique view where the waves of tiled roofs drawing elegant curves along the hill harmonize with the modern city landscape is Bukchon's own charm.
As it is a living space where residents' lives continue rather than just a simple tourist attraction, we recommend taking a walk while savoring the history of the village with quiet footsteps. Do not forget to capture photos of the coexistence of Seoul's past and present from the representative viewing points known as the Bukchon 8th Scenic Spot.
