If you want to know about Korea in just a few days, then you must visit the Namdaemun Market. It's the largest Korean traditional market where the feeling of human touch remains. Namdaemun market is named after Namdaemun Gate(currently called sungnyemun), Korea's first national treasure.

It's proximity to the downtown area and to many deluxe hotels makes it popular among foreign visitors and local residents. The market's greatest merit is that you can buy a wide range of products at a lower price than in other shopping area of Seoul.
