K-Drama Filming Locations in Seoul: Where to Visit in 2026

Part of what makes K-dramas so captivating is the way they capture Seoul — both its gleaming modernity and its hidden historic corners. Good news: most of these locations are real, accessible, and waiting for you to visit.

Bukchon Hanok Village

Featured in: "Goblin," "My Love from the Star," "Crash Landing on You" (flashback scenes)

The narrow lanes between traditional hanok houses have appeared in dozens of dramas. The most photographed spot is the Bukchon Eight Views — particularly the view down Gahoe-ro 11-gil. Go at dawn before the crowds arrive.

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Korea's most impressive royal palace has served as backdrop for countless historical dramas. The north gate area (Sinmumun) is particularly popular with film crews.

Hongdae & Yeonnam-dong

Featured in: "Our Beloved Summer," "Twenty-Five Twenty-One," "Start-Up"

The youthful energy of Hongdae translates perfectly to coming-of-age dramas. The Gyeongui Line Forest Park (연트럴파크) has appeared in countless romantic scenes.

N Seoul Tower (Namsan Tower)

The iconic love lock fence at the tower's observation deck is a pilgrimage site for drama fans. Cable car to the top runs daily from 10AM.

The riverside parks (Banpo, Yeouido, Ttukseom) appear constantly in Korean drama. The Banpo Bridge Rainbow Fountain is particularly dramatic at night.
