Once the heart of the old capital Hanyang, the area around Gyeongbokgung Palace and Cheonggyecheon Stream remains one of Seoul's must-visit routes. Strolling along the stream that cuts through the city center, you'll stumble upon historic landmarks at every turn, while the path leading through Gyeongbokgung, the National Folk Museum, Bukchon Hanok Village, and finally Insadong offers a perfect blend of tradition and modern city life.
조선의 도읍이었던 한양의 흔적이 고스란히 남아있는 경복궁과 청계천 일대는 서울 여행에서 놓칠 수 없는 핵심 코스입니다. 도심을 가로지르는 청계천을 따라 걷다 보면 곳곳에서 마주치는 역사 유적이 발걸음을 즐겁게 하고, 경복궁과 국립민속박물관, 북촌 한옥마을을 지나 인사동까지 이어지는 길은 전통과 현대가 공존하는 서울의 매력을 온전히 느끼게 해줍니다.
