北村韓屋村

Bukchon Hanok Village is a living museum of traditional Korean architecture, with hundreds of centuries-old hanok houses lining the hilly streets between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces. Unlike restored tourist villages, Bukchon is a real residential neighborhood where people live in traditional homes that have been maintained for generations. The eight viewpoints of Bukchon offer postcard-perfect scenes of curved tiled roofs against modern Seoul skyline. Visit early morning for the most peaceful experience and best photos without crowds.
