안녕하세요? 오늘은 광장시장과 청계천에 다녀왔어요.
광장시장은 서울에서 가장 활기찬 전통 시장 중 하나로, 시장 골목을 따라 펼쳐진 다채로운 먹거리를 탐방하며, 한국의 전통 음식 문화를 체험할 수 있는 곳이에요.
우리는 버스를 타고 광장시장으로 이동했어요. 시장에 들어서자마자 수많은 맛집들과 먹거리가 펼쳐졌습니다. 시장 가운데에서 아주머니들이 지글지글 전을 부치고 계셨는데 광장시장은 두툼하면서도 바삭한 이 녹두빈대떡이 특히 유명해요. 또한 광장시장 하면 육회를 빼놓을 수 없답니다. 시장 안에 육회 골목이 따로 있을 정도로 육회가 정말 유명해요.
떡볶이, 순대 등 분식부터 육회, 마약김밥, 빈대떡, 매운탕 그리고 꽈배기, 호떡과 같은 다양한 디저트까지 정말 맛있는 음식들이 가득했어요.
배가 고팠던 우리도 식당에 들어가 떡볶이, 순대, 어묵, 육회, 녹두빈대떡을 먹었는데 정말 너무 너무 맛있었답니다.
광장시장에는 한복, 이불과 같은 혼수 용품과 한국 전통 기념품도 많이 있어요. 맛있는 음식을 먹고 나서 우리는 광장시장 2층에 있는 한복점들을 둘러보며 색색의 한복을 구경하였습니다.
광장시장을 가로질러 나오면 청계천을 마주하게 되는데 비가 조금 오긴 했지만 우리는 청계천 길을 걸으며 산책했어요.
선선한 가을, 여러분도 광장시장의 맛과 정취를 한번 느껴보세요!
🛍 The Lively Gwangjang Market
Gwangjang Market is one of the oldest and liveliest traditional market in Seoul. As you walk through the narrow alleyways lined with food stalls and shops, you can truly experience Korea’s rich culinary traditions and local culture.
We took a bus to get there, and the moment we stepped into the market, we were greeted by an explosion of delicious sights and smells.
Right in the center, several Korean women were busy frying up mung bean pancakes (nokdu bindaetteok) — a signature dish of the market, known for being thick, crispy, and incredibly tasty.
And of course, no trip to Gwangjang Market would be complete without trying their famous yukhoe (Korean-style raw beef). There’s even an entire alley dedicated to yukhoe restaurants — that’s how popular it is!
The variety of food was simply overwhelming (in the best way)!
We were starving, so we sat down at a restaurant and ordered a feast;
tteokbokki, sundae, fish cake soup, yukhoe, and mung bean pancakes.
And honestly, everything was absolutely delicious.
👘 Exploring Traditional Hanbok on the 2nd Floor
After our meal, we headed up to the second floor of the market, where many hanbok shops are located.
The displays of colorful traditional Korean clothing were stunning, and we also saw various traditional items like bedding sets and wedding gifts.
🌧 A Rainy Walk Along Cheonggyecheon
When you exit the market from one side, you’ll find yourself right in front of Cheonggyecheon Stream.
Although it was lightly raining, we decided to walk along the stream, and the gentle autumn drizzle actually made the atmosphere more peaceful and charming.
Walking beside the flowing water in the middle of the city really calms your mind — it was the perfect way to wrap up the day.
If you want to explore Korea’s traditional side and indulge in some amazing local food, Gwangjang Market is the place to be.
As the weather cools down, why not spend a day enjoying the vibrant flavors and cozy atmosphere of this historic market?
