Bag a great deal, purchase a few trinkets or try some specialties at Mangwon Market. This busy place will help you get a flavor of the local culture and community.
This community marketplace in Mapo-gu comes recommended by fellow travelers, so make sure it features on your schedule. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are plenty more attractions ready for you to enjoy after Mangwon Market. Gyeongbokgung Palace, Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, and National Museum of Korea are not far away.
