We completed all 6 cafes/ places in 1 day. Started at 10+ am and entered the last cafe at 8PM.
However the last 2 cafes were about to close and all the food are sold out. So I recommend spending less than 1 hour staying in each cafe, considering the added travel time, queuing time and waiting time. From London bagel to nudake, we took a bus but after that it’s a long walk. In times of doubt or worried it will take too long to travel, just take kakao taxi
Additional place includes resting at osulluc

Ikseondong Hanok Village
@noorie
Some of the Hanoks have been beautifully rehabilitated and turned to cafes, restaurants and boutiques
Ikseon-Dong can get very crowded in the afternoon. The best way to avoid the big crowd is to visit around 11:00am or in the evening after 18:00pm.

Spend your afternoon exploring another traditional village. Bukchon offers picturesque views and cultural insights.
Bukchon Hanok Village 북촌 한옥마을
@Kellytoday
Bukchon Hanok Village houses more than 900 hanoks (traditional houses) dating back to the Joseon Dynasty.
Surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changeokgung Palace and Jongmyo shrine, this hanbok village is home to hundreds of traditional houses called hanok which date back to the Joseon dynasty.
It’s a great place to explore and get lost in. If you have time when you rent your hanbok you can visit this spot for some nice photos [Refer to the link for the FREE hanbok rental guide].
Nearby there are also cute stores to shop for souvenirs and also cafes to check out. I am guilting of buying a few postcards here.
