What to do and see in Samcheongdong / Bukchon, South Korea: The Best Specialty Museums

September 26, 2021 Agatha Simes

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

This was my first time in Seoul and I have to admit the museum was beyond my expectations. A colleague from work recommended that I visit so I did and I was blown away by the museum's collection and the Samchung area. There are hip cafes and restaurants that you can choose from to go to before or after viewing the museum.
