Top 10 Shopping in Gwanghwamun / Jongno, South Korea

June 27, 2021 Russell Mellin

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Kyobo Book Store Gwanghwamun

Reviewed By drkevintan - Singapore, Singapore

The giant Kyobo Book Store in Gwanghwamun stocks great books, music and stationery. For those of you who still music in palpable form, the Hottracks concessionaire has an amazing collection of CDs, DVDs and LPs. Its classical collection is particularly impressive and it stocks many hard-to-find CDs and LPs of Korean classical artistes like Kun Woo Paik and Yeol Eun Son. Its English books selection is small but well stocked. It also has an incredible array of stationery concessionaires who stock a great collection of fountain pens, inks, papers, notebooks and stationery you never thought you needed. For those who are into personalised music, there is an extensive selection of headphones and bluetooth streaming devices. You could spend a whole day there since there is also a restaurant and cafe within the bookstore itself.

Kwangjang Market

Though known as a market for clothes, for those in-the-know, this market is actually a foodie’s dream. Gwangjang offers a cornucopia of cheap, traditional Korean snacks and “street foods.” Try the giant mung-bean pancakes for an authentic, affordable treat.
