A stroll in and out of the hilly alleys of Bukchon Hanok
Village is a great way to cap off your visit to the Palace district.
Here, hanoks or traditional homes from the Joseon Dynasty
still stand amid the burgeoning urban landscape of Seoul.
You are encouraged to walk quietly as people still actually
live in these homes, but of course, there are cafes, restaurants and shops in
and around the area. You may even stay in one of these hanoks as an alternative to a hotel.
The sight of Korean youths walking around in their
traditional hanboks help you feel transported to that bygone time, 600 years
ago. But, of course, in Seoul, you're never too far away from civilization.
