Bukchon Hanok Village is a traditional Korean neighbourhood over 600 years old, nestled between the Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung palaces. Hundreds of hanok houses—traditional timber-framed dwellings with characteristic curved roofs—have been carefully preserved here, making it one of Seoul's most photographed districts. Wander the narrow lanes to experience authentic Korean architecture and heritage, visiting traditional tea houses, galleries and craft shops along the way. The area offers a tangible sense of Seoul's past amidst the modern city.
