Seoul's iconic traditional market, it was packed with delicious street food, and its vibrant atmosphere was truly impressive.

Since the market is large, it's a good idea to decide what you want to eat in advance.

Since many places are convenient for cash payments, it's a good idea to prepare cash.

An iconic traditional market in Seoul, it's a vibrant place where you can simultaneously experience diverse street food, Korean history, and culture. Boasting a history of over 100 years, it's packed with authentic eateries beloved by locals.

It's a street food hotspot that locals frequent more than Myeongdong, so be sure to visit.

It is open from 9 AM to 6 PM, but please note that the food alley operates until 11 PM.

Upon exiting Jongno 5-ga Station (Subway Line 1) at Exit 8, you can enter through the closest entrance.

As a representative traditional market of Seoul, it's a place where you can experience bustling energy and taste a variety of street foods. It was a special place where traditional charm and modern trends coexist.

I recommend exploring every corner of the market and trying a variety of street foods.

It's good to prepare in advance, as many places are convenient for cash or bank transfers.

I was so happy to taste a wide variety of Korean street food. Tteokbokki and Bindaetteok were especially memorable, and I really loved the lively atmosphere of the market.

It's recommended to try a little bit of various foods. You can experience a wide range of flavors.

Popular stalls might have long queues, so keep that in mind.
