[SEOUL TRIP] Let's walk the traditional traditional Korean street.

Bukchon Hanok Village is a place where Korean traditional houses are located, from Kyeongbok Palace to Changdeok Palace.
The special point is that the people live in real life, literally Hanok Village.
Recently, the Bukchon Hanok Village is rapidly expanding among the youth of 10-20 through SNS (Facebook, Instagram, etc.), and the number of tourists is increasing.
Hanok galleries and traditional workshops are also increasing, and Hanok restaurant, which has been renovated, is also making an extraordinary Hanok culture.

※ Tip when visiting Bukchon Hanok Village!

  • Because the slope is heavy, use comfortable shoes!

  • Food prices are a bit expensive.

  • Let's get a brochure from the information center at the entrance of Bukchon Hanok Village! There is much information.

  • Hanok stay is also possible.

  • Korean government provides foreign interpreter service. (☏ 1330, 24 hours operation)

※ Bukchon Hanok Village is a real residential area, so keep the following manners when sightseeing.

  • 'Quiet sightseeing'

  • Take the imported trash

  • Do not use loudspeakers or microphones.

  • Do not shoot between open doors

※ How to get there

Because Google Maps is limited in Korea, it uses "Naver Map" or "T Map",
but it is inconvenient to enter in Korean.
So if you're using public transportation, that's how you use Google Maps.

  • Enter the destination 'bukchon' on Google Maps.

  • By subway. (Get off at Anguk Station, exit 2)

  • By bus. (No.151 or 162, get off at Anguk or Jongno Police Station or Insadong)

  • 'Kakao Map' provides English language for use as a reference.
