Gwangjang Market

A trip to Seoul isn't just about shopping and experiencing the vibrant city's fashion scene; it's also about exploring authentic markets and Korean drama-themed spots! This itinerary focuses on Gwangjang Market. During the day, you'll explore the market and sample local snacks, and at night, ascend Namsan Tower for a breathtaking view of the dazzling nightscape. The kindness of Koreans, the modern architecture at night, and the up-close cultural landscape all make this Seoul trip truly heartwarming. Foodies will love Gwangjang Market's ramen, rice cakes, fried foods, and spicy stir-fried octopus! Save this guide for a complete Seoul dining experience! Recommended Attractions 📍Gwangjang Market Address: 88 Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Monday-Saturday), Closed Sundays For a truly local and humane Seoul experience, Gwangjang Market is a must-visit! During the day, the market is packed with stalls, offering authentic Korean ramen, sticky rice cakes, crispy fried foods, and other street food. Enjoy a feast right from the stalls! My must-try dishes are the ramen and the spicy stir-fried octopus. The octopus is incredibly spicy but not overpowering, making it a perfect accompaniment to drinks. Many stall owners here are proactive and helpful. Koreans are truly kind and helpful with directions and orders, making you feel at ease in a foreign place. ✔ Must-Try Food List - Spicy Stir-fried Octopus: Fresh octopus paired with a spicy sauce cooked to perfection is springy and incredibly appetizing. - Korean Ramen: The broth is rich, the noodles are perfectly springy, and the portion is generous and satisfying. - Traditional Rice Cake: Sticky, sweet, and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, making it a mouthful. - Fried Platter: Shrimp, sweet potatoes, and vegetables are crispy and not greasy, making it a delicious snack while walking. 🌙Namsan Tower Night View After exploring the market, I highly recommend visiting Namsan Tower to experience the modern beauty of Seoul at night! Below, you'll find refreshing treescapes, and above, the shimmering city skyline. Namsan Tower's high altitude offers a 360-degree view of Seoul. Especially on clear nights, the sea of lights shimmers with a romantic atmosphere, perfect for Instagram photos! Practical Tips for Your Trip 1. Gwangjang Market is closed on Sundays, so avoid planning your food tour there! 2. You can purchase small portions of food at the market, perfect for trying new dishes or trying a variety of snacks at once. 3. It's recommended to search for stalls or specialty snacks in advance, as the crowds can be overwhelming. 4. For a nighttime climb to Namsan Tower, book your tickets online in advance to skip the lines. Remember to dress warmly as the winds at the top can be strong. Transportation & Food Tips in Seoul - Gwangjang Market is conveniently located a 10-minute walk from Dongdaemun Station on Subway Line 4. - Most stalls in the market offer simple seating, so please bring your own disinfectant wipes. - Namsan Tower is accessible via a shuttle bus or cable car, suitable for all levels of fitness. Seoul is a vibrant city during the day and a romantic retreat at night. A stroll through Gwangjang Market and Namsan Tower offers a glimpse into the bustling city, the allure of delicious food, and the warmth of local culture. Foodies, photographers, and hipsters will find it all! Don't worry about missing out on your Seoul itinerary; follow these tips to plan your trip! #SeoulFoodGuide #GwangjangMarketMust-Eat #NamsanTowerNightView #KoreaTravelTips #AuthenticSeoul
