On the Hill, Close to Everything
Naksan Balcony is on a hillside, but don’t worry — Dongdaemun is only about a 10-minute walk away.
When coming back, the local bus can take you up the hill and drops you close to the house. Once you know the route, getting around is actually very easy! 😊
We’re right in the heart of Seoul, in Jongno-gu, yet once you arrive at Naksan Balcony, you’ll find yourself in a quiet, residential neighborhood away from the busy tourist streets — a chance to experience a more authentic, local side of Seoul while still being close to everything.
