Bukchon Hanok Village, Seoul, South Korea
Free Spring, Autumn

Bukchon Hanok Village (북촌한옥마을) sits between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung palaces, preserving over 900 traditional Korean hanok houses that have stood for centuries.

The Famous Alley

The iconic Bukchon 8-gil alley offers the most-photographed view in Seoul — a curved lane of tiled rooftops stretching toward N Seoul Tower. Best visited on weekday mornings to avoid selfie stick traffic jams.

Cultural Experiences

Several houses offer hands-on workshops in traditional crafts: hanji papermaking, kimchi making, and tea ceremony. Booking in advance is recommended.
