Gwangjang Market

As one of the most vibrant traditional markets in Seoul, Gwangjang Market is based in the center of the city so it can easily be located by even first-time visitors.

This historic market opened in the early 20th century and is home to a number of clothing and food stalls, offering tourists a taste of traditional Korean cuisine.

Starting with "addictive gimbap," one of Koreans’ all-time favorite snacks, and nokdujeon (mung bean pancake), visitors can sample a range of Korean delicacies.

Other traditional treats such as tteok-bokki (stir-fried rice cake) and eomuk (fish cake) are also available.

It is worth visiting the food stalls since most dishes are reasonably priced.

If you have a keen interest in clothing, we recommend that you visit the hanbok stores and vintage clothing shops on the 2nd floor.
