Saemaeul Market

Located in Songpa-gu, Seoul, Saemaeul Traditional Market is a popular destination near Jamsil Baseball Stadium. It attracts many visitors before and after baseball games. The market offers a wide variety of food at affordable prices, typically under 10,000 KRW, including fresh produce, tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), dumplings, and sweet-and-spicy fried chicken (dakgangjeong). A few years ago, the market underwent a renovation project that added an arcade-style roof and designated the area as a car-free zone, creating a more pleasant shopping environment. It’s a great spot to visit before or after exploring nearby attractions such as Lotte World Tower Observatory and Mongchon Fortress.
