Description: Formerly Korea’s largest market for antiques, Insadong remains one of Seoul’s busiest retail neighborhoods. Here the streets are lined with shops, from art galleries to antique and craft stores, along with a host of restaurants and cafes. Bargain hunters flock here to find the best in Korean porcelain, hand-pressed papers and Buddhist sculptures, and some of the best people-watching in the city. Be sure to swing by Insadong on Sundays, when the whole neighborhood turns into one big street fair, with handicraft demonstrations and live Korean music.
