Nearby
Gaeseong Mandu Koong
An Insadong house that has served Gaeseong-style dumplings for more than thirty years, best known for its dumpling hot pot.
Nakwon Musical Instrument Arcade
A building given over entirely to musical instruments, on Samil-daero beside Tapgol Park. It has dealt in instruments since 1970 and holds some 350 shops across four floors. On Sundays only some of them open.
Unhyeongung
Not one of the grand palaces and not trying to be — a compact residential compound three minutes from Anguk Station that fills the gap between two bigger stops.
Ikseon-dong Hanok Village
The alleys are public streets, so there is no gate, no ticket and no closing time — but almost everything worth walking in for is a business with its own hours, and most of them do not open early. It is also smaller than Bukchon on purpose: these are 30-pyeong houses, not aristocratic compounds.
