When you're tired of storming work and study, you need time to find peace of mind and body. Unlike complex minds, I want to heal in a relaxed and relaxed atmosphere these days. Cafes that preserve the style of hanok have appeared all over the city center and are attracting people's attention. The moment you walk into a hanok cafe with its quaint charm, such as rafters, porches, and eaves, you feel relaxed. A quiet atmosphere that you can feel in the middle of the city! Here are 5 of the best hanok cafes in Seoul.
