Namdaemun is the market that is located near the old South Gate of the city. You can get everything from socks to leather jackets to turtles at this market. Also, on the weekends the market is open all night. The night market is considered to be when you can get the best bargains, but you have to haggle.

Tongdaemun is located near the old East Gate of the city. It is a bit smaller than Namdaemun, but it is also worth checking out if you have a free afternoon. Some consider the clothes to be of a better quality at this market. There is a building that has little boutiques and leather shops that is definitely worth looking into.
