Namdaemun Market is a large market in Seoul, South Korea. Namdaemun means "great south gate", as the market is located very near the large gate of the old city. The gate itself is known as Namdaemun, or Sungnyemun.
Namdaemun market is one of the oldest continually running markets in South Korea, and it is the largest market in Seoul. It occupies many city blocks, which are blocked off from most car traffic.
Much of the market is outside, but there are also many stores which line the streets. Many retailers buy their items, particularly clothing, at wholesale prices at Namdaemun, to resell in their own stores in other cities. Namdaemun is a popular tourist attraction, but most of the customers are Korean.
