About

Daegu Seomun Market is a historic traditional market that carries on the legacy of 'Daegujang', which was counted as one of the three major markets in the country along with Pyeong-yangjang and Ganggyeongjang during the Joseon dynasty. It gained the name 'Seomun Market' by being located west of Daegu Fortress, and currently boasts the largest scale in the Youngnam region. It is divided into several districts handling various items such as clothing, fabrics, hanbok, tableware, and dried seafood, and especially textile-related items like silk and cotton are nationally famous.

During the day, you can enjoy a lively market scene, and in the evening, you can enjoy various foods and performances at the night market, which boasts the largest scale in the country, offering a different charm from the daytime. You can taste Daegu's representative foods such as flat dumplings, mini gimbap, and kalguksu, and it is directly connected to Seomun Market Station on Daegu Metro Line 3, making accessibility excellent.
