How Baby-Friendly is Ikseon-dong Hanok Village?

58%Baby-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 58% Baby-Friendly: Babies are allowed and nearby Jongno 3-ga station offers nursing rooms, yet most cafés lack changing tables and the uneven narrow alleys make pushing a stroller slow and tiring.

Ikoson-dong in Seoul is a delightful neighborhood bursting with charm. Local shops offer unique finds, while excellent cafés and breakfast spots serve delicious mornings. It’s a must‑visit for a perfect blend of shopping, sipping, and food. Downfall there are no public toilets around.

Not a village. Barley any real Hanok. A couple of good bars (Art Monster, Aledang). A few fun pork restaurants (삼겹살). Feels very UNESCO, and not in a good way. Still, photogenic.

This Hanok village is recommended. Most of the old traditional houses has converted to become commercial purpose like restaurant or cafe but is still very nice for photography. I noticed most of the restaurant are serving western food.
