Those of you who've heard of Namdaemun Market, but have no idea where to eat and how to travel the place, gather up!

Namdaemun Market (Hoehyeon Station Exit 5)

1. Kalguksu Alley

Here, you can have kalguksu, bibim naengmyeon, barley rice at a cheap price range of ￦6000-￦7000!

It's a place with a long, unique history of selling kalguksu all around the alley! 

2. Hairtail Alley

If you go a bit further up from the Kalguksu Alley, you can check out the Hairtail Alley! The whole alley is full of hairtail restaurants! We recommend to people who enjoy eating fish. It's at the market, so it has an affordable price with large portions!   

Jungang Galchi Sikdang

3. Namdaemun Market's Major Products

Dongkyeong Food

A place that sells dried goods, including dried strawberries, frequented by foreign customers!

Jangan Sangsa

Military Uniform Alley

You can also find a unique military uniform alley, which only sells military goods such as military jumpers and military bags.

Kid Wear Shopping Street

Most of the items are cheap, but they also sell items that are more expensive but of high quality.

4. Vegetable Hoddeok

It's a hot place that people queue even in the rain to eat! 

They sell hoddeok filled with vegetables with soy sauce spread on top.

The price is only ￦1000, and it's delicious and filling enough to replace a meal! Worth every penny!   

5. Sungnyemun

Korea's National Treasure No.1, Sungnyemun! 

No.1 doesn't mean that it's the most important, but it is a national treasure that's very precious to Korea/

It's located in the middle of Seoul, surrounded by very different modern buildings, creating an exotic harmony.

6. Seoullo 7017

It was used as an elevated highway since 1970, and instead of being torn down in 2017, they decided to reuse the past highway and turn it into a walkable trail, hence the "7017".

If you walk along the Seoullo trail, you can bask in the amazing night scenery of the past Seoul Station.

The past Seoul Station, like Seoullo, no longer serves its initial purpose, and is currently used for display purposes. 

The past Seoul Station, and Seoullo 7017's amazing night view! Don't miss it!
