Seoul Folk Flea Market 서울풍물시장
Seoul · Dongdaemun & Euljiro · Shopping
Seoul Folk Flea Market is a large indoor market whose stalls sell used goods, antiques, retro toys, old records, tools and local crafts. Many items are priced for bargain hunters, and the sellers will usually negotiate a little. On the second floor, a food court serves inexpensive Korean dishes at plain tables, which makes it a practical lunch break.
Cash is helpful, since not every seller accepts cards. Crowds are lighter on weekdays. Opening days and hours may change, and some stalls close on weekdays.
Sinseol-dong Station (신설동역), Lines 1 and 2, is a short walk. Dongmyoap Station (동묘앞역), Lines 1 and 6, is also within walking distance.
