Bukchon Hanok Village

Well preserved traditional South Korean Houses. Classic architecture with intriguing design. The weather in October is very suitable to walk around. Not so crowded on Monday afternoon. Be mindful that this is a residential area.

After we had finished our trip from Japan, I decided to fly to Korea. I watched a lot of Korean movies and series. and I think one day I have to visit this country. This vacation has been one of my best vacations in my life.We got there around 1.30pm and it was still pretty busy. Plenty of tourists wearing hanbok costumes. Seem really fantastic and made you feel that your back to Korean in the past.

This is a beautiful traditional village. There are visiting hours of 10:00am to 5:00pm because still people living in the area. You need tobe quiet, walk lightly, speak softly and smile gracefully =))

A perfect example of old houses, kept preserved with narrow streets, rising up high above the modern city. Must respect the silence request and slowly work your way up the Village way up to the observatory point in the highest place. Great experience with many beautiful houses. Really perfect example of history right here.

Especially for photographers, this is an absolute must. We walked by ourselves and did not do any type of tour. Some of the views are terrific. There were a number of other photographers in groups of people for wedding, engagement, and other portrait photography. This is the place. Plus, it is between two palace grounds, and easily one can walk south to the bigger market, restaurant, bar, and hotel area of Myeongdong. This area is a 100% win-win-win for travelers and travel photographers. Be advised, it is a bit hilly and there is little in the way of handicap access.

Nice to see the Korean traditional buildings. Some nice cafes along the way. There's a Michelin star Korean Ginseng chicken restaurant. Unfortunately we didn't get to try that.

Really did not find anything special of the hype created by local tour guides. Nothing extraordinay here. Just an old village kept amidst the modern world where the wealthy of today buys property to rest there. Good for pictures though. Tip: don't visit in the rush hours. It gets crowded.

A gaze into the traditional and historical aspect of Seoul - a very well preserved colony of residential houses where locals still reside. It also has a few mini museums you can visit to know more of about the history of the place and Seoul. And there is an observation deck that offers a nice view of this traditional town too! More of a peaceful setup where you walk and observe...but make sure to stay very silent as people do live here!
