💡 Travel Tips & Useful Information

The tiny 70-space lot at Oil Tank Culture Park (#3 gate) is usually full by 10 a.m.; instead park at Nanjicheon Public Lot (₩1,000 per 10 min) and ride green village bus 8776 two stops to the entrance.
Subway is quickest: take Line 6 to World Cup Stadium Station, leave from Exit 2, and follow the yellow “슬로우” arrows for a flat 12-minute walk through the park.
Visit between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.—artisan bread, vegan dosirak, and ceramic class tickets often sell out right after lunch when the post-brunch Seoul crowd arrives.
Top-up at least ₩30,000 on your T-money card before arriving; vendors prefer T-money or ZeroPay, and the single KB ATM on site is notorious for running out of cash after 3 p.m.
Bring a reusable cup and cloth tote; flashing them at the info booth earns a ₩1,000 “slow point” coupon and lets you avoid the ₩300 surcharge enforced under the venue’s no-plastic-bag rule.
Dogs must stay on leashes under 2 m and strollers should keep to the right lane—market staff can levy on-the-spot ₩50,000 fines for blocking foot traffic or unleashed pets.
Picnic only on the blue-flagged grass zones to protect newly seeded turf; folding chairs are permitted solely on the gravel ring surrounding the market tents.
