Night Markets – Dongdaemun/Namdaemun

Dongdaemun and Namdaemun markets are both busier at night than during the day. The night markets are open from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning and the dawn market from 4 a.m. to 4 p.m. The markets are packed to the rafters with wholesalers from everywhere across the nation during business hours and is quite some sight to behold. If you use public transportation, catch the last bus or subway for the day and shop around at one of the markets for 4 to 5 hours, enjoying the street snacks, before catching the first bus or subway home. These night markets are the best places to enjoy honest-to-goodness down-to-earth nightlife in Seoul.
