💳 1. Step One: Get Your Transit Card at Incheon Airport
Before you leave Incheon Airport, you need a smart transit card. Korea's public transit system is completely cashless.
- T-Money Card: The most popular card. You can buy it at any convenience store (CU, GS25, 7-Eleven) at Incheon Airport Terminals 1 and 2. Important: You must use CASH (KRW) to top it up! It offers free transfer discounts between subways and buses if you tap within 30 minutes.
- Climate Card (기후동행카드) Tourist Pass: If you plan to travel heavily around Seoul, buy this short-term pass for unlimited rides on Seoul subways and buses (1-Day: ₩5,000 / 3-Day: ₩10,000). Available at major subway station information centers.
Always remember to tap your card when getting ON and OFF the subway!

🥟 3. What to Eat & See at Namdaemun Market
Namdaemun Market is divided into different alleys selling specific items. While you can shop for cheap clothes and souvenirs, the real star here is the food!
Bring cash (KRW) because most street food stalls do not accept credit cards!
1. Kalguksu Alley (Hand-cut Noodle Soup)
Just a few steps from Gate 5, you will find a covered alley filled with small stalls. If you sit down and order Kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup in a rich broth), the friendly vendors will usually give you a small free side dish of Naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles). It is a warm, filling, and very cheap meal (around ₩8,000).
2. Japchae Hotteok (Stuffed Savory Pancake)
Hotteok is traditionally a sweet pancake filled with brown sugar and nuts. However, Namdaemun is famous for its savory version stuffed with Japchae (glass noodles and vegetables). It is deep-fried, incredibly crispy, and always has a long line outside Gate 2. (Price: ~₩2,000)
3. Kamegol Wang-Mandu (Giant Dumplings)
You cannot miss this place because there is always steam billowing into the street! They sell giant, fluffy steamed dumplings stuffed with minced pork and veggies. You can choose the mild original flavor or the spicy kimchi flavor.
4. Galchi Jorim Alley (Braised Cutlassfish)
If you want a proper sit-down meal, look for Galchi Alley. They serve a bubbling, spicy red stew made with cutlassfish and large chunks of radish. It is a traditional Korean favorite that pairs perfectly with a bowl of white rice.
💡 4. Pro Tips for Visiting
- Operating Hours: Most food stalls and shops are open from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Note that many shops are closed on Sundays!
- Navigation: Google Maps walking directions do not work perfectly in Korea. Download the Naver Map app to easily navigate the narrow alleys.
