Seoul atmosphere is always about a calm happiness and profound kindness. Seoul is about people enjoying beauty at its highest simplicity level. And that can be seen in their attitude, in their lifestyle, customs and traditions.
And even in their art and architecture surviving since the old Joseon dinasty times.
One of themost beautiful places in Seoul that illustrate the Korean soul and mind at their best is Bukchon Hanok Village. A not so small neighborhood, at the heart of the city, exhibiting hundredes of historical houses, dating back more than 600 years ago.
Spread on a hill, with curvy, maze-like streets, the ancient village is still a home for many people. But also a hub for shopping, cultural events, and above all, arts.
Tourists can get dressed at the old Korean aristoracy by renting a hanbok in Bukchon, sleep in an old hanok in Bukchon Village or visit one of the many Korean art galleries in Seoul. If during the day, Bukchon Hanok Village is filled with tourists, laughter and art, at night, it becomes once again a residential place, falling into quietness.
