The story
Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul’s Jongno District is a living neighborhood of traditional Korean houses, and according to travel creator Luigi Gramma, it’s “a bit touristy but beautiful.” He notes that the main street draws crowds, yet the best spots remain empty—a reminder that this is a residential area with visiting hours and a quiet expectation.
Gramma draws a surprising parallel to Puglia, evoking the same charm of white-walled alleys. The lesson? Skip the packed thoroughfares and explore the side paths to experience the village’s serene, authentic character. A respectful pace keeps both locals and visitors happy.

A traditional Korean village with typical houses, a bit touristy but beautiful — you have to speak quietly because people live there, and there are visiting hours. The main street is full of tourists but the best spots are empty. Reminds me a bit of Puglia.
