Gwangjang Market

This vibrant century-old market pulses with the energy of Seoul's working-class heritage, where vendors have perfected recipes passed down through generations in cramped food stalls. Wander through dense alleyways lined with fabric shops, vintage clothing racks, and snack vendors grilling mouthwatering bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes) and tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes). The market captures authentic Seoul culture where locals still shop for daily essentials alongside tourists hunting for Instagram-worthy street food.
