Dongmun Market

Getting around: Central Jeju City, within walking distance of most downtown accommodations, or a short bus ride from Jeju International Airport (about 15-20 minutes).
Hours: Generally open daily, roughly 7am-9pm, with some sections and the night market extending later.

Dongmun Market is Jeju City's largest and oldest traditional market, a dense covered arcade selling Jeju specialties like hallabong citrus, fresh and dried seafood (including the island's famous abalone and horse meat, a regional specialty), and prepared street food. Its central location and long operating hours make it a reliable stop whether you're there to eat, buy souvenirs, or simply see everyday Jeju commerce.

A newer night market section extends the market's hours and adds a more tourist-oriented street food strip, giving two fairly different experiences depending on when you visit.
