Gwangjang Market (광장시장) is one of my favorite traditional markets to visit in Korea. It’s in Seoul, close to Dongdaemun Shopping Center and Cheonggyecheon, so it’s a great place to take visitors as well.

People watch, eat traditional street food, and browse the blankets.

Directions: Jongno 5-ga Station (Subway Line 1), Exit 8 or Euljiro 4-ga Station (Subway Line 2, 5), Exit 4.
