Korea Tour : Namdaemun Market, No.1 Traditional Market in Seoul

Hi?

I am Eddie Kwon, Korea Tour interpreter and guide.

Today, I would like to introduce Namdaemun Market, No.1 Traditional Market in Seoul.

Namdaemun Market is located near Namdaemun (Sungnyemun). If you use the subway, you can go to Namdaemun Market immediately after you get off at the No. 4 line, and you can get to the Namdaemun Market via Subway Line 2 Subway Station or Euljiro Line. It is also convenient to use high-speed railway or train not far from Seoul Station.

 

Namdaemun Market sells more than 1,700 kinds of goods such as clothing, miscellaneous goods such as textile products, accessories, glasses, kitchenware, industrial products, souvenirs, imported goods, agricultural and marine products. There are specialty shops in various places, so you can find and buy desired items cheaply and conveniently.

 

Namdaemun Market functions as the largest and oldest general market in our country that dominates the whole country. This was achieved through the modernization of the facility, as well as the specialization and retail marketization.

Today, Namdaemun Market is becoming one of the best markets for Koreans and foreigners as well in Korea.
