In the residential area, remember to keep voices down. In Bukchon, you will also find museums, workshops, galleries, and coffee shops. Learn more about Bukchon here.
A coffee shop in Bukchon
Bukchon is located between the two palace complexes: Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung. If you don't believe me and just have to see for yourself, here's a map of Bukchon.
While you're in the area, why don't you drop by:
