Bukchon West is located next to Gyeongbokgung Palace. 

This area consists both old and new buildings of Korean

Architecture such as the MMCA (National Museum of Modern 

and Contemporary Art) and Bukchon Hanok Village. 

The atmosphere in Bukchon West is more lively and dynamic

compared to the Bukchon East. Bukchon West remains a favourite

location by many locals and tourists, even during the Joseon

Dynasty because it is closer to the main palace. 

You will get to experience the atmosphere of the Joseon Dynasty 

by entering traditional culture centres, and discovering 

secret alleyways.
