Overview

It only takes one quick look to see that Seoul is one giant shopping mall. Outside its grand palaces and hanok villages and in between cafes (and mind you, there are countless of them), fashion shops tempt passersby with its endless barrage of apparel, accessories, and souvenirs. While you can find them almost everywhere, tourists flock in many of the city’s most frequented shopping streets and districts. Here are eight of them.

MYEUNGDONG

Seoul’s premier shopping destination, Myeungdong (or Myeung-dong) boasts a wide range of shops from the more reachable brands (the familiar Forever 21 and H&M) to designer labels. The place covers the area from Myeongdong Subway Station to Lotte Department Store (Euljiro). In between, several department stores rise, including Myeong-dong Migliore, M Plaza, Shinsegae Department Store, and Noon Square. If you have a not-so-deep to bottomless pockets, this is your best bet because many of these carry midrange and premium brands.

DONGDAEMUN MARKET

Not too far from Myeung-dong lies Dongdaemun Market, the city’s shopping mecca. Here you’ll find everything fashion: from the trendiest fabrics to bridal wear. Many distributors from all over Korea come here to buy wholesale. Those street stalls you see in the streets, they get their products from here. But retail is absolutely alive too. And thriving. Many up and coming designers launch their creations here.

NAMDAEMUN MARKET

Built in 1414, Namdaemun Market is the oldest traditional market in Korea. But that’s not its only claim to fame. It is also the largest, covering an area of over 66,000 sq. m. and housing almost 10,200 stores. Its 400-year history alone adds an air of charm around it, but most visitors come not for a lesson but a look at its wide, wide range of products. Clothes, kitchenware, and accessories dominate the site, but electronics and eyeglasses are also a common sight.

GWANGJANG MARKET

The atmosphere at Gwangjang is so different from Dongdaemun and Namdaemun. While it is not as frequented by tourists, Gwangjang is a favorite among locals looking for silk and custom-made hanbok. The market takes a different form at night when food stalls open and patrons come flooding into the building. Sealed traditional korean food products are also available for those wanting to take some home.

Balwoo Gongyang

Reserve three days in advance for the delicate temple-style cuisine served here. Take your time to fully savour the subtle flavours and different textures of the vegetarian dishes which range from rice porridge and delicate salads to dumplings and fried shitake mushrooms and mugwort in a sweet and sour sauce.

Koong

Koong’s traditional Kaeseong-style dumplings are legendary and more than a mouthful. Only order one portion, unless you're super hungry, or enjoy them in a flavourful soup along with chewy balls of rice cake.

Tongin Market Box Lunch Cafe

For a fun lunch, buy 10 brass coins (₩5000) at the cafe about halfway along this old-school covered market. You'll be given a plastic tray with which you can then go shopping in the market. Exchange your coins for dishes such as savoury pancakes, gimbap (seaweed covered rice rolls) and tteokbokki (spicy rice-cake stew).
