Few hours in Seoul, where to go shopping?

Hi we are arriving in Seoul 5:30am this Friday, and leaving Seoul to London 13:10. Would appreciate if someone can suggest where we can go shopping within these few hours. Thank you!

Few hours in Seoul, where to go shopping?

Hmmm, I am not sure if you have enough time to venture out to Seoul from Incheon Airport then comeback within at least 2hrs before your departure. Traveling time between airport to central areas of Seoul is about 90 min, but it could take longer if you get caught in Seoul%26#39;s notorious traffic jams. Most of shop won%26#39;t open for business until 10 AM, which is about time you should be start going back to airport. Maybe Namdaemun Market is one possible place for you to explore since it opens around 7 am. (鈥isitkorea.or.kr/enu/SH/SH_EN_7_2_4_1.jsp)

But if I were you I rather relax on transit hotel or sauna at the airport, and shop at the duty free shopping mall (it%26#39;s like department store) within airport.

Thanks Blee246 for your suggestions.

I heard there is a shopping mall somewhere in Incheon. Where is this shopping mall called ';Air Joy';. Is it better of to go there rather than rash out to Namdaemun Market? Thank you.

I don%26#39;t think you have enough time to go into Seoul, but I heard there is E-Mart (a discount store/supermarket like Walmart) about five minutes from the airport. I just searched some Korean website and E-Mart is actually located in the basement of Air Joy shopping center. So I guess you can take the shuttle bus from the airport to get there. It looks like there%26#39;s a free shuttle from the airport, right outside exit 3 and 12 on the third floor.

It looks like it%26#39;s actually bus stop number 3 and 12, not the exit numbers.

AirJoy / E-Mart doesn%26#39;t open until 10:30am

How far away is Namdaemun Market from the airport?

what is the most convenient way to get there?

Namdaemoon market is near city hall of Seoul. You can take limousine bus to go which stops many locations downtown Seoul. I am pretty sure you can get better information from Tourist info desk at airport. Keep in mind that Namdaemoon is traditional outdoor market, very popular tourist spot, so be prepared for for hustle and bustle.
