Gwangjang Traditional Market station

One of the biggest markets in Seoul and located in the center of the city, Gwangjang was the first market to attract a lot of international visitors. It’s known for delicious street food such as buchimgae, a vegetable pancake, and mini kimbap (similar to a vegetable maki roll), which is so addictive that people call it “narcotic” kimbap. Though it’s tempting, don’t haggle with vendors over price, as the market’s fixed-price system makes it hard for individual vendors to offer items for less. Instead, ask for a bit extra with a smile!
