The long shopping street, like a flea market . I think everything could be found from this place, and it would be very cheap . One of the must visit place in Seoul!

Khairul A.

Tons of cheap Korean products and well-known brand knock-offs. Please try to haggle before buying. It can get as low as 50% from its original price. Happy shopping!

I love being here. If you looking for some souvenir, this is the place, you can bargain a lil bit. The price better than any where else. Also so many korean snack ..!!

By Hoehyeon exit 5, walk into the market and on your left you will see a makeshift-ish door of plastic. Inside you’ll find the Kalguksu alley - famous for cheap 3 course meal for 5500-6000 Won.

Kars Alfrink

A great place to shop with the locals but the real star for me—if you can find it—is "Kalguksu Alley " where you can have a super fresh boribap, kalguksu and bibim naengmyeon lunch for next to nothing.

NAMDAEMUN MARKET : Outdoor traditional market where you can buy almost everything. Walk along the market road and enjoy the various street food . One of my favorites is 'HO-TTEOK'(sugar-filled pancake ).

Ruben Garcia Mohedano

Cash only . Visit at night. The largest traditional market in Korea with more than 10,000 stores. Great place to buy Ginseng too at the best price

S Aykut Korkmaz

If you would love to buy presents for your family and friends. You will exchange your money in a easy way and you can also try some Korean food . You have to visit here and Seoul Tower ( is near here )

Russell Hirschorn

The best tourist market in Seoul. Lots of souvenir and gift shops and snacks to keep you going. Must do in Seoul.

This place reminds me a bit of the LA Fashion District. However, there are "real" stores a short walk away. Also, if you don't want (or trust) the street food there are also safer options near.

Serene Yee

Not the choice of market for the young and trendy . Little stalls of food line the center of the market walkways starting from the evenings. Heaps of options for street food , even the sit-down options.

John Cho

It is Korea’s largest traditional market with over 10,000 stores lining the streets. Groceries , imported goods and souvenirs you can get at reasonable prices. Bargaining is the key to shopping here.

Ting

This place is huge. And not just stalls along the streets, just wonder into any building and u will be surprised what u can find inside. From clothes to accessories to cookware to dried goods.

Kars Alfrink

To get to "Kalguksu Alley ", take exit 5 from Hoehyeon Station . Upon exiting, turn right, and walk a short distance. The entrance is on your left hand side.

Kiran Weber

Opened in 1964, this large area of stalls offers clothes , household goods & local items . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namdaemun_Market

Everything can be haggled ^^ I used to check price in all camera stores before making a decision. And don't forget to enjoy street food .

Seline Jung

You never have to buy jewelry ever again. Everything you see in stores originates from here. There's nothing you won't find, from trendy to costume to classic.

__aunty-Tan__

I just love this market . Next time come must bring a lot of money so i can enjoys shopping. Not so cheap but the quality is good #cryingcauseibringlessmoney

Angeline Teoh

There’s nothing much to see during the day as it is more of a market place selling clothes and arts and craft, the street food is limited which only starts selling around 5-6pm onwards

Aisyatun Najwa Ahmad Shukri

Cheap Korean brooch, souvenirs, fake branded snapbacks cap, i love seoul shirts , vintage shops , accessories .. This is heaven for me!

Nuri Jeon

One of two most important market in Seoul. If you want souvenir, this is the place where retail sellers come and get items for their shops.

Aisha Wong

You can find all cheap souvenirs here! Please buy from the cart instead of buying from the shop! Wayy cheaper

Best place to get souvenirs and grab a snack or two from the street vendors.

The hodduk stand near Gate 5 has some of the best vegetable hodduk (야채호떡) in all of Seoul!

Amazing place to experience a Korean market . Be ready for the crowds though and come with lots of patience.

Lalaine Angela Chua

good place to shop. cheaper than myeongdong , but you need to buy early, they close early, that's why we weren't able to buy there already

Aizi Razak

You can find almost anything here. Strawberries are just wonderful.

Serkan Sirkeci

another traditional market that you can find a wide variety of korean products, including foods..

William Kan

While you can find lotsa different goods here from clothes to food, it is no Myeongdong or Dongdaemum, no trendy stuffs here.

Mona

Wide variety of merchandise in reasonable prices ????????????????????????

Clement Chiang

Get a pair of light weight Korean made eyeglasses. Very good price. (need to negotiate a bit)

Yvonne Yee

Get most of your souvenirs here! Don't forget to try their homemade noodles near Gate 5 of the Market .

Namdaemun Market is so large that you will never manage to see all of it. But that doesn't matter because they have nice stuff everywhere.

Bianda D.

Cheap food. And there is one money exchange stall that offer good rates. It's near the tourist information straight from exit 5

David Minkin

The place is a labyrinth and getting lost is the best part!
