[2025 Seoul Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Jungbu Market (Updated Apr)

Avoiding the crowds and quietly strolling through the markets is my favorite time when traveling. This time, I visited a traditional market selling dried goods in Seoul on a weekday afternoon. It was not crowded and very pleasant to walk around. There are almost no tourists here, and most of the people coming and going are local residents. The atmosphere is very simple and friendly. It does not have the noisy feeling of a tourist area, but instead has a more lifelike feel. As soon as you step into the market, the air is filled with the rich aroma of sesame oil! Many stores squeeze sesame oil on site, and the aroma is so tempting that you can't help but take a deep breath (laughs) In addition, many stalls sell simple snacks at very reasonable prices. You can be satisfied with a meal for ₩1,000 to ₩3,000, such as hot fish soup, spicy stir-fried rice cakes, and small portions of seaweed rice rolls. 📍Transportation: It is easily accessible by subway from downtown Seoul (depending on where you stay, we will adjust the recommendation). It is recommended to visit on weekday afternoons when there are few people and it is more leisurely. #MyTravelDiary #SeoulAttractions #SeoulDriedGoodsMarket #KoreanFood #MustVisit forSesameOilLovers #SeafoodLoversHeaven #CheapSnackHeaven #HiddenAttractionsinSeoul #BestPlacesInMarch2025

#0yentravelautumn It's close to the hotel, so I've been there many times 😄 There's the famous Gwangjang Market nearby, but there aren't many tourists here. I bought seaweed, dried foods, kimchi, and sesame oil here 😄 I recommend the kimchi and donuts sold at the entrance! There were also several restaurants in the market ☺️ At lunchtime, many people came to eat from the nearby office buildings 😊 I'd like to have lunch here next time 😃 The market is complicated like a maze, so it's fun to explore. It opens early in the morning, so it's also recommended for the last day

#August Good Places 2024 The Central Seoul market is a less crowded traditional market full of local characteristics. The alleys in the market are lined with stalls. I personally think it's quite nice to walk around. The snacks here are quite attractive, from the aromatic fried chicken, sugar cake, sweet rice dessert, etc., tried his sweet rice dessert, I think the taste is ordinary, but summer drink feels very cool. If you want to buy seaweed or kelp, the central market is highly recommended because it is cheaper than supermarkets. There are salted fish for sale 🤣🤣 It's funny. #100 Ways to Travel #Seoul Travel #Central Market #Seoul Food & Play Shopping

There are many famous markets in Seoul, such as Namdaemun Market and Gwangjang Market, but Jungbu Market is not very crowded, so I personally recommend it. The location is about 100m from Exit 7 of Euljiro 4-ga Station on Subway Line 2, and you will see an arched gate with the words Jungang Market written on it. There were many dried food stores lined up. I went there for breakfast, so I had mandu, which was really packed with stuffing, chewy, and delicious! Please go there once. #KoreaTrip

Jungbu Market is recommended for those who want to visit a more local market than Gwangjang Market. It mainly sells dried foods and kimchi, so you can't eat it while walking around, but they will pack your kimchi for you to take back to Japan, which is very kind of them. It's about a 10-minute walk from Dongdaemun, and is also very accessible by bus. If you want to experience a local atmosphere, why not go and check it out? #Korea #Korean cuisine #Korea information #Korean market

I don't get angry and like to go to Chungbu Market (중부시장) to buy souvenirs, because it is very clean and bright, and the ground will not be wet. In fact, it is in the middle of Myeongdong and Dongdaemun. , 5 minutes walk from Exit 8. Some stalls are closed on Sundays, recommended on weekdays. Anyway, the seafood dry goods market, but other souvenirs are available.
