Ikseon-dong

익선동

Jongno, Seoul · 서울

A small grid of 1920s workers' hanok in Jongno, now filled with cafés, bars and restaurants opening onto lanes you can touch both sides of.

Why it’s worth it

Bukchon is where you look at hanok; Ikseon-dong is where you sit in one. It is at its best on a weekday evening when the lanterns are on and the queues are gone.
