Final Thoughts
Bukchon is a living traditional neighborhood, not just a tourist site. Visiting during Seoul Hanok Week & Bukchon Day 2025 offers unforgettable cultural immersion, while year-round the village remains one of Seoul’s most magical places to explore.
While exploring Bukchon Hanok Village, many visitors enjoy renting a hanbok for the full cultural experience. Wearing hanbok not only makes your photos with hanok rooftops stunning but also grants you free entry to Seoul’s palaces such as Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung.
