Seoul brings together royal palaces, traditional hanok neighbourhoods and contemporary culture. Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung trace the history of the Joseon dynasty, while Bukchon offers a glimpse of traditional Korean homes. Hongdae’s music and cafés and the striking architecture of Dongdaemun Design Plaza reveal another side of the capital. Views from Namsan and market food such as bindaetteok pancakes and gimbap at Gwangjang Market add to a city that changes character from neighbourhood to neighbourhood.

THE QUICK ANSWER

How can I combine a Seoul visit with market food?

For a market meal, use Jongno 5-ga on Line 1 and follow Exit 8 towards Gwangjang Market. Compare bindaetteok with gimbap before choosing a stall. If you are arriving with luggage, go to your stay first or compare a taxi to the market entrance.
