Description
Explore CNN Market & Gyeongdong Market on a guided walking tour in Seoul. Discover the contrast between old and new Korea, and enjoy a rooftop Korean BBQ experience with panoramic views.
Step into a side of Seoul that most travelers never see. Join a 1.5-hour walking tour through the vibrant streets of Gyeongdong Market and Cheongnyangni (CNN) Market — the heart of East Seoul's real local life. Explore a world where traditional herbal medicine, vintage storefronts, and bustling fruits and street food stalls meet the rapidly transforming cityscape of modern skyscrapers and gentrified spaces.
Be guided through this unique contrast of old and new Korea — from narrow alleys lined with decades-old post war buildings to bold new architecture reshaping the skyline.
After the walk, unwind with a rooftop Korean BBQ experience (or cozy indoor dining in case of bad weather). Enjoy delicious grilled meats, local side dishes, and drinks with panoramic views or a warm, friendly indoor space.
After BBQ, unwind with a final cup of coffee at a unique café—once a forgotten old theater, now a beautifully remodeled Starbucks.
