The Incredibly large COEX Mall is a one-stop shopping location, where high-end international brands are represented alongside mid-range, affordable Korean stores. The mall's shopping, entertainment (there is an actual aquarium on-site), and dining options are endless - there will certainly be something there to suit every taste.
Shopping
Seoul is absolutely the place to be for shopping devotees - from street markets to high-end shopping malls, the Korean capital has it all. Some of the most popular shopping areas are Myeongdong, Itaewon, and Insadong - each with its own distinctive character. Seoul is a metropolis filled with shopping opportunities at every turn. Markets worth a stop include Namdaemun and Dongdaemun, the Gyeongdong Oriental Medicine Market selling all sorts of traditional miracle cures (Chegidong Station) and Noryangjin Fish Market, even if only to watch the traders in action (line 1, Noryangjin Station).
