Good to know

Keep red-zone sightseeing to daytime

  • Tourist visits to the marked red zone around Bukchon-ro 11-gil are restricted from 17:00 to 10:00 the next morning. The city lists a KRW 100,000 fine; finish sightseeing there before 17:00.seoul

Give residential alleys Sunday off

  • Seoul’s official notice asks visitors to treat Sunday as a rest day for the alleyways. Plan residential-lane sightseeing for another day; this is not a claim that every Bukchon shop closes Sunday.seoul

Start from Anguk Exit 2

  • Korea Tourism Organization’s April 2024 guide places the Gyedong-gil visitor address at 37 Gyedong-gil, about 485 m from Anguk Station Exit 2 on Line 3. This is a starting point, not the hilltop photo alley.Visit Korea

Keep photos outside private homes

  • People live here. The city asks visitors to keep voices low and not peer into homes; a photogenic doorway does not make the property a visitor attraction.seoul
