Bukchon Hanok Village

We visited in the morning around 10-11 and it was already full of people. Do note there is a limited timeframe that we can visit the place to be respectful of the locals living there. We also have to whisper when talking to each other to keep the voices down. It's nice to walk around and explore the traditional village. Do walk into some shops or cafes as they would also have nice interiors reflecting the traditional designs. It really does feel like you're back in the olden times.

Worth seeing place. You can experience in this place how buildings looked like in earlier times. The village reflects old buildings. Remember to be quiet because people still live there. There is a person there who takes care and reminds to be quiet.

Its a nice traditional place to visit. It gets very busy by, 9-10am. Its the most central traditional village, there's a few shops. There's a cafe with a good viewpoint. Entrance to the 2 museums I didn't find particularly interesting) but you get a free drink included in the cafe from the viewpoint, around 6000won.

It has a great scenery at the top of the small hill. The hill ain't steep so don't worry about your energy. You will pass traditional Korean houses, some of them even have people living in it. Sure good place for photo taking. I very recommended going there.

Beautiful traditional village with houses that date back 600 years and have been kept up beautifully and are lived in. You can't make noise in the area as residents have complained of over tourism so there are security people stationed in a few places around the village to enforce the no noise policy. The houses are really nice. You have to walk the streets. I did not see any full size cars on the streets . There are some of the homes that are short term rentals. If you happen to rent in the area, there is a company "Nostalgia" that will deliver your baggage via an electric small utility vehicle to the home you rent. This is very handy as the village is on a hillside so you have to walk up the streets. Very nice area.

It’s a gorgeous place to take a nice stroll and just admire the beauty of the houses ~ At the top of the hill is a great place to take a nice shot of the streets with the traditional houses aligned alongside. Do take note that this place is only opened from 10am-5pm due to it being a residential area. It may be crowded at certain times, so do try to keep your voices/noises down to try not to disturb the locals living there. I’ve also seen tourists trying to open doors or entering these houses to get a shot, please do not do that. Be considerate for the locals residents. You wouldn’t like it if strangers tried to barge into your house just to take pictures.

The area is as you would imagine, what really elevates it is the peaceful nature and respect visiting people have for it by being quiet and keeping the area clean. It is lovely to see the hanoks being maintained beautifully and the views over some of the city are worth a visit. Please note that on Sundays some of the alley ways close to allow a break from tourist traffic.

Please be respectful when you are here! So sad tourist keeps on talking loudly when signs are posted requesting tourist to be respectful when enter a place where local actually lives.. come here early in the morning or late to avoid tons of tourist.! Walked up to the foot o capture that million dollar view of the old with the sky scrapers as the back drops!
