  • The Myeongdong Night markets are great. Busy and bustling with food vendors and cheap clothing and trinkets. Well worth a visit from 5pm every night

  • Lots of stores and restaurants. Mostly cosmetics. Visit on afternoon/evening since most of the street vendors will only open around 5PM. Interesting food selections. Best come with empty stomach.

  • I have been to Seoul, Busan and Jeju. This is my favourite shopping street in Korea. This visit to Myeongdong is my third travel here. Myeongdong reminds me of why I like to travel to Korea in the first place.
  • Famous street in Seoul for shopping, although Crowd and stores have reduced after Covid. But still a must visit if you are visiting seoul.
  • Brilliant place, got tons of decent food and souvenirs, a giant mall is located at the end of the street. The only problem is that its really crowded. Personally suggest giving it a visit on a good weather as it can get be freezing
  • Best halal lamb and chicken roll in seoul.although meyongdong steet is really full of streetfood.you can find different type of food like squid chips,Turkish icecream and more
  • When come to korea, you won’t miss this place especially with teenagers. 💯 % tourist place and you have lots of shops for bargain and street food was lining up at night to sell all kinds local street food. Very crowded and you can imagine the night is packed with local and tourist especially at night. Many tourist guides standing around to provide you direction and hence very convenient to walk around .
