Explore Korea’s No.1 local market, Gyeongdong Market, with a host who knows what to look for. Walk through Seoul’s herbal and seasonal food district, learn what Koreans actually buy for daily wellness, and see ingredients you won’t find in tourist areas. Along the way, taste classic Korean street foods locals love year-round and get simple, useful tips you can take into the rest of your trip (what to try, what to skip, and how to order confidently).

Then switch the vibe completely at Dongmyo Flea Market Seoul’s raw, chaotic, treasure-hunt shopping scene. Dig through vintage racks, quirky accessories, and unexpected finds while your host helps you spot the good stuff fast. It’s not curated. That’s the point. If you want the “real Seoul” energy and the thrill of discovering something unique, Dongmyo delivers.

Last, we will explore Dongdaemun Toy Street where you can find Squid Game–style traditional game items and playful props that make perfect “Korea-only” gifts!

  • A truly authentic Korean experience

    It was one of the best and most authentic experiences in Seoul. Highly recommended if you want to experience everyday Korean culture beyond the usual sights. The market is not easy to approach on your own, so I was really glad to experience it together with the K-Medi Center and the foot spa, especially on a cold day. It didn’t feel touristy at all. Our guide, Youla, was very attentive and friendly, and it was so kind of her to share an Olive Young shopping list with us. I would definitely recommend this to any friends planning an authentic cultural trip to Korea.
