5.0 / 5
The energy on this street is unmatched—busy, hectic, and incredibly lively with a great mix of tourists and locals shopping and snacking along the shops. It gets especially crowded on weekends, packed with people of all ages. The street food variety is amazing, ranging from quick snacks to premium options like grilled beef skewers. While prices are slightly higher than street food spots outside of Seoul, the vibrant atmosphere makes it an unforgettable experience. Truly a must-visit for first-timers in Korea!"

We love Myeongdong Street Market! It’s nonstop shopping and street food everywhere you turn. From K-beauty, clothes, and skincare to tteokbokki, hotteok, and grilled skewers, you can eat your way through the whole street. Tip: Bring cash 💰 lots of small vendors and stalls are cash-only or have a minimum for card. It gets packed at night, so go earlier if you want more space to browse. Perfect spot for families, first-timers, and anyone who wants Seoul’s energy in one place.
5.0 / 5
Myeongdong is such a beautiful and fun place to visit in Seoul. I absolutely loved the experience — it’s full of life, lights, and so many things to see and try. One of my favorite parts was shopping for skincare (there are so many options!) and trying the famous candied strawberries, which were delicious 🍓. There are also plenty of places to eat, from street food to restaurants, so you’ll never run out of options. Prices are relatively affordable, which makes it even better for shopping and trying different foods. I loved it so much that I went twice during my trip. Defin
