Dive into the bustling atmosphere of Suwon Nammun Market, a place brimming with energy and local flavors. Here, you can indulge in delightful street food, shop for unique souvenirs, and immerse yourself in the contemporary local life.

Your tour will comfortably conclude with returns to central Seoul, leaving you with a treasure trove of memories from a day that beautifully blends the ancient and the present.
