It’s a fun place to enjoy local street food, such as sweet seed-filled pancakes called “hotteok.” Gukje Market is one of Busan’s oldest and liveliest traditional markets. It began after the Korean War and grew into a maze of shops selling clothes, kitchenware, souvenirs, and street snacks. It’s a great place to feel everyday local life and try Busan’s famous treats. Jagalchi Market is Korea’s largest seafood market, located right by Busan’s harbor. Fresh fish, shellfish, and other seafood from the sea are sold here every day.
