Gwangjang Market

Gwangjang Market, Seoul’s first and oldest covered market, has a rich history dating back to its origins as a hub for traditional Korean clothing, such as hanbok. Located in the heart of Seoul, the market still specializes in textiles, but it has evolved into one of the city’s premier street food destinations. Visitors can wander through the bustling aisles, surrounded by the aromas of sizzling pancakes, steaming soups, and grilled meats, sampling a wide array of Korean cuisine from various vendors. The vibrant atmosphere, with its colorful displays and lively chatter, offers a true taste of local culture.
