Namdaemun Market
Commercial district
Namdaemun Market is the largest traditional market in Korea. You can find it near Hoehyeon Station in the lively city of Seoul. The market is full of stalls and shops selling all kinds of things—from traditional Korean items to imported goods—all at affordable prices. The market is full of energy, with sellers chatting and bargaining in many different languages. You might even get the chance to negotiate prices with the vendors. But wait, there's more! While you're there, don't miss out on the yummy street food, like a hot bowl of Korean hand-cut noodles in Kalguksu Alley. Whether you love food, shopping, or want to experience real Korean culture, Namdaemun Market is a place you have to check out.

Attraction passes are cheap, attractions are suitable for parents and children, fortunately there are arrangements for these attractions, using Klook to order Korean food is really convenient, Seoul's attractions are actually quite concentrated, do your homework to go to two or three a day is not a problem

Bought this pass for a round trip journey between Seoul and Busan as it was slightly cheaper than buying two direct tickets from both cities. There was no need to print the tickets out after reserving seats on the Korail website. Just need to check which platform it is at the station and hop onto the train.

Scan your QR code at the kiosk to get a queue number to gain access to the 5F. Views are awe-mazing!

It is really recommended to watch the Seoul Nanta Show. There are special percussion performances combined with funny kitchen cooking and silent dialogue plots. Even if you don’t understand Korean, you can still get involved in the show!

Seoul Transfer Card A must-have travel card for traveling in Seoul! Although it is only 24 hours, as long as it is combined with Hanbok + Gyeongbokgung Palace, Moonlight Music Cruise, Walkerhill Theater of Light, and Lotte Land the next day, it will be worth it!

It’s my first time to visit Seoul and I recommend this one for visiting historical sites, as well as a free Hanbok experience. The roller coaster in the amusement park is quite fun, but it takes a long time to wait.

The directions are very clear, and there is no language barrier when exchanging tickets on site. You only need to follow the order number to exchange tickets. It is very convenient. The show is also very exciting. Highly recommended.
