Mangwon

망원동

A real neighborhood market, then a picnic on the Han River.

The story

Mangwon is what Hongdae was before the tour buses: a working market street where grandmothers shop next to film students. The move is simple and perfect — graze through Mangwon Market (croquettes, tteokbokki, cups of dakgangjeong), buy a mat at a convenience store, and walk fifteen minutes to Mangwon Hangang Park for sunset over the river.

A half-day on foot

  1. 1
    14:00Start at Ugly Bakery
    It opens at noon and is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, so this walk works Wednesday to Sunday. Take the spring-onion bread with you.
  2. 2
    15:00Graze Mangwon Market
    Sit down for ₩4,000 noodles at Gohyangjip, then take a ₩5,000 cup of dakgangjeong from Q’s for later.
  3. 3
    16:30Board the Seoul Battleship
    About fifteen minutes on foot to the riverside, then a little further west along the park. ₩3,000 puts you inside a frigate, a patrol boat and a submarine. Closed Mondays.
  4. 4
    18:00Sunset at Mangwon Hangang Park
    Buy a mat at the convenience store, boil ramyeon in the machine, and let the river turn orange.

Insider tip

A ₩5,000 cup is enough to taste the sauces — original, sweet soy, green chili mayo, cream, cheese. The line here is usually one of the longer ones in the market.
