Hongdae Free Market
Follow us
Located across from the Hongik University, a top art school, Hongdae free art market is filled with indie art including handmade jewelry and 10 second sketch artist. It can be a little overpriced, but definitely worth a visit to pick up some nontraditional souvenirs. This market is only open on Saturdays, and after 6pm local bands perform. This hipster area of Seoul is also great for bars and nightlife.
Seoul World Cup Stadium
Unlike U.S. stadiums, you can stock up on Cass (Korean beer) and bring it into the stadium to cheer on FC Seoul, the Seoul club team. Tickets for FC Seoul are 10,000 won (aprox 10 USD) for general admission, where the local's excitement is contagious.
