A slow workation under hanok eaves — a UNESCO city of gastronomy
Before your stay
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.
