The Seoul Folk Flea Market is a vibrant indoor flea market where you can find traditional and modern Korean folk items including clothes, tools, and food. Almost anything you can think of is sold here including new, old, rare, and vintage items that you many never find anywhere else.
Before being moved indoors into the current modern building, vendors and sellers gathered in the area around the Cheonggyecheon Stream to sell their items.
On the first floor shoppers can find vintage clothes, shoes, bags, sundry goods, tools, electronic items, traditional household items, hand crafted antiques, porcelain, and a food court.
On the second floor you will find such items and goods as sundry goods, clothing, souvenir shop, sporting goods and clothes, cameras, books, CDs, DVDs, and more food.
Musical performances can be watched every Saturday from May to early November from 15:00-17:00 at the stage at the main gate.
If you want to sell your own items here you can. Just meet at the parking lot at the main gate from 13:00-17:00 on any Saturday from March to October.

Book Recommendations
While The Seoul Guide provides plenty of information about traveling to Seoul, sometimes it helps to bring a book with you on your journey. Want to visit Gwangjang Market, hike Bukhansan National Park, visit an ancient palace, or sing karaoke all night long? The book I always recommend is Fodor's Seoul, which provides expert recommendations including sights to see, restaurant reviews, maps, and essential trip-planning information for everything related to Seoul.
