South Korea has now become a shopper’s paradise because it has a multitude of shops which provide duty-free prices for tourists or foreigners. If you are looking for fashion, medicine, herbs, antiques, electronic devices, clothes or anything under the sun, the shops of Korea will most likely have these. In Namdaemun, the best shopping districts are located. The largest general wholesale market can be found in Namdaemun. If you are looking for good bargains, Tongdaemun is the place to be.
If you are a die-hard fashionista, Myongdong will satisfy your fashion needs. For those who like antiques and art, Insadong is a treasure waiting to be unlocked. In addition, there is Changanp-yong which is one of the largest markets in the Far East. Popular among tourists is Itaewon where there are modern shopping districts.
If you like seafood, you have to go to Noryargjin. The largest electronics market in Korea is in Yongsan. For those after Korean oriental medicine, spices and herbs, Koyndang is the place to go to. If you are the type who like second-hand shopping, Hwangkhak-dong will provide a satisfying experience. For the wedding stuff enthusiast, Ahyon-dong aka “wedding street” features over 120 wedding shops. If you are young and hip, Shinch-on will give you all the right accessories and fashion.
