Seomun Night Market 서문야시장
Daegu · Jung-gu Old Downtown · Night view
On evenings when it runs, food carts and stalls line the road in front of Seomun Market and turn it into one of Korea's most popular night markets. Typical stalls sell skewers, grilled beef, tteokbokki, cheese-topped dishes and fusion street food, and there are also craft and souvenir stands. The market tends to open in the warmer part of the year, mainly on weekend evenings, so confirm the season, hours and closed days before you go.
Come hungry, share dishes among friends, and expect lines for the best stalls. Most vendors take cards but carry some cash as well. Weekend crowds are thick, so keep an eye on bags.
Take Subway Line 3 to Seomun Market Station and walk straight to the market front. Public parking fills early in the evening, so transit is wiser. (Show a driver: 서문야시장)
