The 3 Markets You Need to Visit in Seoul

"This is South Korea’s oldest and largest market, with roots dating to the 1400s. It's a constant hive of activity, buzzing with shoppers in search of the latest fashion, electronics, crockery, and, of course, good food. Merchandise is organized on themed streets: kids' clothing over there, military gear and opticians this way. On the grub front, you’ll see salarymen digging into steaming bowls of stewed beltfish, mackerel, and pollock along Galchi Jorim, a.k.a. Stewed Beltfish Alley. In the nearby Foodie Alley (yup, different from Beltfish Alley and arguably better smelling), it’s all about street eats like dakkochi (grilled chicken skewers) and tteokbokki, glutinous rice cakes in a spicy red sauce."
