Enjoy the Old-Fashioned Charm of the City

Since ancient times, the areas of Bukchon and Insa-dong around Gyeongbokgung Palace have been mainly composed of hanok (traditional Korean houses) where noblemen (yangban) resided. It is a great pleasure to walk along the elegantly modernized streets that exude a refined classical atmosphere. Moreover, strolling through Changgyeonggung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine, which retain their tranquility within Seoul, is truly a healing experience within the city.
