Shopping At Namdaemun MarketNamdaemun Market in Seoul Korea is always bustling with people - both locals and tourists. It's a great place for shopping and also finding many local food and delicacies. But what's so attractive about this market is the endless rows of shops, which means endless shopping the whole day long and the prices here are not expensive compared to shopping malls. You can find clothes, korean kitchen wares, children's toys, street food. One stall that stood out was their korean pancake street food, and it's only SGD$1.50 per pancake, which was huge and had generous vegetable stuffing. It's cheap and keeps you full. And one can get korean cooking pots for only SGD$7.50, useful for cooking your korean dishes. Very affordable! Come to Namdaemun Market and you will discover tons of affordable and great finds! #shopandtripVanvanlai48

Shop till dropWhen you travel to Seoul, Namdaemun market is one of the places that you should never missed to visit. The market is perfect for people who enjoy shopping at cheaper price, like me(hehe). It has so many varieties of items, from clothing to skincare to food to households items. Basically it has everything! If you plan to shop at Namdaemun market, make sure you have enough cash. Some shops they do accept cards but some don’t. You can ask first whether they accept card so that you can save your cash for later use. Speak little Korean also help you get a good bargain sometimes. So, enjoy shopping at Namdaemun market like locals do. #Shopandtrip #awesomepic #seoul #solotripzrth.thr29

Looking for Halloween 🎃 👻 props?#spooktaculartrip 📍21 Namdaemunsijang 4-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea Nandaemun Market is the largest traditional market in Seoul with over 10,000 stores selling everything from clothes, accessories, food, souvenirs, and even Halloween props & decorations!!! Located in between Myeongdong & City Hall area, there are lots of cheap items (eg. autumn/winter clothes from 3000 won onwards😲). There are a lot of people (mainly locals) even though it's a weekday afternoon. However, due to the huge area and lack of time, we are only able to cover a small portion of the market. There are around 3-4 stores clustered around one of the streets, mainly selling the Halloween party items with some looking quite realistic. Really cool with lots of choices if you are interested 😉LYvonne8

Namdaemun MarketNamdaemun Market is one of the busiest markets in South Korea. The traditional market was named after Seoul’s Great South Gate, which was the main gate to the ancient city. You can find quality leather goods, clothing, crafts, imported goods, utensils, electronics, and traditional oriental medicines at really affordable rates. During the day, you can see locals shopping for groceries and household items. At night, Namdaemun becomes a vibrant night market from 11pm until 4am every day. #summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorerJonasbrothers12

Korea's vastly notable traditional markets,Today, we bring you one of Korea's vastly notable traditional markets, Namdaemun Market! fi Namdaemun Market, located at the heart of Seoul city, is filled with diverse food, shopping, and fascinating sites to fill the eye! The endless rows of shops and products have become infamous among the public. In fact, it became so widely known that people would even say, "If it's not at Namdaemun Market, it's nowhere else in Seoul!" Namdaemun Market is also home to backstreets filled with restaurants featuring delicious traditional foods, including Kalguksu Alley and Galchijorim Alley! The former was even aired on the Netflix program, Street Food! Take some time out of your day to come witness one of the best portrayals of Seoul infusing its traditions of the past with the modern-day lifestyle. In 2024, I wish to visit this place again. #2024wishKimPS2

Namdaemun-Ro Road BBQ 🇰🇷 Korea#seoultrip In Korea it's BBQ time. BBQ meat, kimchi, lettuce, pink salt, mustard seeds, wasabi, meat pancakes, bimlimbap, bulgogi and all the small plates too. We went to two different BBQ restaurants in Namdaemun-Ro Gil 1, which is located next to the Courtyard by Marriott hotel. The street is fairly quiet until around 14:00, but afterwards and late into the evening it's a great spot to grab food and a beer. There is a nice balance between locals and tourists and the specials on the wall are definitely worth asking about. I'd highly recommend taking a walk down here after walking through Myeong Dong to chill out and eat too much!Ginge51

🇰🇷 Korean Sashimi place hidden in market#wheretogo This place is a long established Namdaemun Market’s specialty that’s unknown for foreigners but very popular among the Korean peeps. The whole setting is really like what we have seen from the Korean drama, very down to earth, traditional and not fancy. But you would be hooked once you give it a try. You can see a generous plate of sashimi on every table and that’s what they are famous for. First of all, the sashimi was plump, chewy and satisfying. The red pepper paste that served on the table is homemade. The generous side dish here is delicious. #foodie #timetotravel #seoulfunBobo0692

Definitely go to Namdaemum market to see and shop for local souvenirs. some shops are better than others. some prices may be higher but it’s one stop shopping if time is short.
I love this market. Basically it has everything and sells at cheap price.The ahjumma and ahjussi was very nice and willing to serve me anytime. They can speak English too. So It is recommended.
The price of goods is cheap and high-end. The ratio of cheap goods makes you dazzle. The place is very big. If you don’t have time to go shopping all day, you can eat while shopping. There are also shopkeepers who can speak a little Mandarin.
The Namdaemun Market is an awesome place to find souvenirs and clothes with Korean flair. I wanted the personalized hand ink name stamps but the local craftsmen were on vacation this week in Seoul n Busan😕but I found gander kerchiefs, phone accessories, small wallets with beautiful colors, hat visors etc. I could buy forever!
Nandaemun Market is the most representative traditional market in South Korea, with more than 10,000 shops large and small gathered around Nandaemun (Seoul Main Gate, formerly known as "Chongli Gate", because it lives in the south of the city, also known as "Nandaemun"). There is a perfect logistics system for retailers and consumers to supply local products, daily necessities, food, medical supplies and other supplies, and it is also a tourist attraction that is loved by domestic and foreign tourists.
There is a cold noodle shop introduced by IKKO in Another Sky. The bargaining is amazing, but it's okay to take the plunge and refuse. Hot k near the entrance is also delicious.
