Place information

Korean name: 노량진수산시장 경매
Nearest station: Noryangjin Station (노량진역, Lines 1 and 9) (Exit 9)
Closed: Every Sun
Hours notes: The auctions run separately from the market's general trading hours. Wholesale and retail trading runs 00:00–24:00, while the auctions take Sundays off. The Seoul Tourism Organization's hours field says "Auction, Daily 00:00", but the same page's body says the auctions run "from 1 am to 4 am". These give different starting times, so neither is presented as the current schedule. Before a late-night visit, check the current auction times with the operator. The market also has separate closure information for 1 January, Seollal and Chuseok.

Nearby

Noryangjin Fisheries Market

The only market here that never closes for the night: wholesale and retail run around the clock, and the auction is a separate event with its own schedule.

Yeouido Hangang Park

Free, ungated and open around the clock — and governed by a fine schedule most visitors never read. Camping or cooking outside a designated spot is KRW 1,000,000 for a first offence, and parking outside a marked bay is KRW 50,000.

Ichon Hangang Park

A 10.2 km stretch of the north bank from Jungnangcheon Bridge at Geumho-dong to Mancheoncheon Bridge at Ichon-dong. Nodeulseom, the island under Hangang Bridge, is listed among this district's facilities — and the operator notes separately that the island's 120,462 m² is not counted in the park's own 922,185 m². The inline skating rink here covers 14,602 m², with a 400 m road track and a 200 m banked track.

National Museum of Korea

Two closure rules, not one, and they are not the same thing: the museum itself shuts on only three days a year, while the permanent galleries take a quarterly Monday off with the garden still open. Wednesday and Saturday run to 21:00 — the only evenings you can see this place without daylight pressure.

Gwangjang, Noryangjin, Lotte World, Cheongwadae: What to Check First
Gwangjang Market, the Noryangjin Fisheries Market auction, Lotte World and Cheongwadae are well-known names in Seoul; this sets out what to check before you put each in a plan. Gwangjang's food alley trades five hours later than the market and opens on Sundays, the Noryangjin auction does not run on Sundays and its start time is given two ways, the 3,000-won gap between two Lotte World tickets is a museum, and visiting Cheongwadae requires checking dated announcements about the resumption of tours.
