Gukje Market

I enjoyed walking through the market. There are many stands selling all my bfs of things. The prices are good. It's worth going to this market to get better prices. It's a covered market so if it's raining it is a good place to get in out of the rain.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bupyeong Kkangtong Market and Gukje Market are two of Busan’s most famous traditional markets—and they’re right next to each other in Jung-gu, making it easy to explore both in one trip. Bupyeong Kkangtong Market (aka. 깡통시장) • address: 39 Bupyeong 1-gil, Jung-gu, Busan • business hours: Open from 9:30 AM (Night market: 7:30 PM–12:00 AM) • Known for its night market, with global street food like Vietnamese bánh xèo, Scotch eggs, grilled noodles, and Korean classics like pork belly kimbap •Korea’s first night market, full of energy and flavors from around the world

Had some of the tastiest iconic Korean street food including dumplings, spicy rice cake, fish cake, blood sausage, clam noodles, and honey ice cream. Also bought nice socks made in Korea as well as Korean instant drinks.

It’s a big market with everything from furniture, household items, cooking supplies, fabrics, clothing, hardware, lighting, luggage, linens, desserts, candies, medical supplies like pain patches and bandages, cooked food, raw seafood, vegetables, Korean side dishes, baked goods and some restaurants. One can easily spend the day walking through it while munching on all the delicious food offers.

Nice place to visit and they have whatever we want

Busan International Market is one of the representative traditional markets in Korea, and it is full of history and vitality. Let me introduce some things to brag about. 1. History and Traditions The Gukje Market was formed by the settlement of refugees after the Korean War, and contains the modern and contemporary history of Busan. You can feel the atmosphere of that time by looking at old stores such as "Kkotbun's." 2. a wide range of products and affordable prices They sell a wide variety of items, including clothes, shoes, household items, electronics, antiques, etc. The price is reasonable, so you can buy them at a lower price if you bargain. 3. delicious food The international market has many representative street foods from Busan. You can taste foods such as seed hotteok, fish cake, pork soup, and Bibimdangmyeon. It is especially popular with tourists as there are many good restaurants with a 60-year history. 4. a nearby tourist attraction The international market is close to major tourist attractions in Busan. Jagalchi Market, Kkangtong Market, Yongdusan Park, and BIFF Square are within walking distance, making it a good one-day tour. 5. a place full of love (情) The international market is not just a shopping space, but a place where people's lives are melted. There are many old stores, and you can feel a friendly atmosphere while talking with the owners. An international market is not just a market, but a space where Busan's past and present coexist. It is a must-see place in Busan!

Bunch of varieties of stores...if you like shopping, you might like it. I am not fond of shopping.

We visited Gukje Market in Busan and had a great time walking through it. The market is full of energy, with lots of different stalls selling everything from clothes and souvenirs to local snacks and street food. It’s a fun place to explore, and you really get a sense of the local culture. Definitely worth a visit if you want to do some casual shopping, try some great local street food, or just take in the atmosphere. Highly recommend.
