Seomun Market and Seomun Night Market have different schedules. The daytime market is listed at 09:00-18:00, with shop hours varying; the night market has its own evening operation. Choose a particular meal or stall only after checking the schedule for your date.
Plan the evening around the night market timetable
The official operator lists night-market hours as Friday and Saturday 19:00-23:30 and Sunday 19:00-22:30. It closes Monday through Thursday, and weather or other operating conditions can change service. The Korea Tourism Organization lists the regular market's first and third Sundays as closure days, so check which part of the market you intend to visit.
Arrive by the market station, then make dinner the first stop
VisitKorea places Seomun Market at 45 Keunjang-ro 26-gil, Jung-gu, and lists Subway Line 3 Seomun Market Station exits 2 or 3. For the night market, follow the operator's current access notice. Decide where to meet and which stalls to try before splitting up; queues and menus vary by vendor.
Keep the history walk and food visit distinct
Daegu Modern Culture Alley is a separate daytime route through churches, old houses, the independence-movement road and medicine-market streets. Finish the interior visits before their own closing times, then transfer to Seomun for dinner if the night market is operating. Do not assume the market schedule applies to the museums or shops along the history route.
