Namdaemun Market

About

About
Approximately 10,000 stores crowded together, 300,000 people per day, making it 'busy and bustling'. A traditional market with over 600 years of history.
An average of 300,000 people visit Namdaemun Market every day, where tradition and the present coexist and are full of vitality. Geographically, it is close to major buildings in Seoul such as Shinsegae Department Store and the Bank of Korea, as well as tourist attractions such as Jeongdong-gil, Myeong-dong, Namsan Tower, and Namsan Hanok Village, making it the most visited attraction by foreigners visiting Seoul. Starting from Sungnyemun Gate, people head to nearly 10,000 stores. There is even a saying, “If it’s not in Namdaemun Market, it’s nowhere to be found in Seoul,” and “Namdaemun Market has everything except cat horns.”
Namdaemun Market sells approximately 1,700 types of products needed for daily life, including various clothing for children, men, and women, as well as accessories, kitchenware, folk crafts, food, miscellaneous goods, and agricultural and marine products. Namdaemun Market has both wholesale and retail functions, distributing products at low prices to retailers and consumers across the country, so it is visited not only by domestic retailers but also from all over the world, including China, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.
There are many delicious restaurants in Namdaemun Market.
Namdaemun Market is a must-visit destination for foods that can only be tasted at Namdaemun Market, including tail gomtang restaurants with a long history, such as Eunho Restaurant and Jinju House, cutlassfish alley, kalguksu alley, vegetable hotteok, chicken gomtang, and North Korean-style cold noodle restaurant Buwon Myeonok. I recommend you visit.
