Visa
Visa-free 90 days (many passports)
Korea's largest urban cluster of some 700 hanok houses — mornings at a hanok-stay desk or café, afternoons wandering the lanes. Designated a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy in 2012, so dinner is the day's reward. About 1h 40m from Seoul (Yongsan) by KTX — built for a slow 2–4 day workation.
Where to work
- NEIGHBORHOOD
Hanok Village
Some 700 hanok lanes woven with heritage sites like Gyeonggijeon shrine and cafés in between. Open a laptop on a hanok-stay porch and it becomes your office.
- NEIGHBORHOOD
Gaengnidan-gil
Old-downtown alleys turned café, bakery and bar streets — less touristy than the Hanok Village, so weekday laptop seats are easier to find.
