Daejeon Jungang Market
A large traditional-market district directly across from Daejeon Station, with themed alleys for prepared food, fish, used books, tableware, accessories and everyday goods. Treat it as a market cluster rather than a single shop: individual merchant hours can differ.

Daejeon Tourism continues to position Jungang Market as a core Daejeon Station and old-downtown stop. In June 2026, Daejeon Dong-gu also announced that the Jungang Market federation was selected for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' 2026 'Baeknyeon Market' development program, adding a current revitalization context without changing the market's practical role in a visitor itinerary.
Why go
This is one of the strongest old-downtown anchors for a first or last stop in Daejeon. It is easy to combine with Daejeon Station, Mokcheokgyo, Euneungjeongi Culture Street and the Sungsimdang area, while giving visitors a look at everyday market food and long-running local shops.
