Start around Anguk
Begin near Anguk Station and head toward the hanok lanes. The streets get steep, so wear shoes you can comfortably walk uphill in. Leave time to pause along Samcheong-dong on your way back.
Remember who lives here
Bukchon’s hanok lanes are also a residential neighborhood. Keep voices low, give people space at their front doors, and follow signs about photography and visiting hours.
Check the route before you go
Part of Bukchon has restricted visitor hours. Read the current guidance from Visit Seoul and follow posted notices. If your route is closed, nearby public streets and museums can give you another way to spend the afternoon.
