Traditional Seoul village overlooking modern skyline

Visitors walk through Seoul’s traditional Bukchon Hanok Village toward Namsan Tower.

A sunlit stone-paved lane winds through Seoul’s Bukchon Hanok Village, lined with traditional Korean wooden houses, ornate tiled roofs, and colorful decorative flags. Visitors walk among the homes, including two people wearing vibrant hanbok in the foreground. Beyond the village, Seoul’s modern skyline and Namsan Seoul Tower rise against a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.
