Seoul

Seoul is massive and so it seemed the best way to separate the information was by district when possible. To start though, here are guides to Seoul from the swimming pools to the art museums. Rounds ups, lists, and more. Get the basics here and then head down to go district by district. Check out the map of Seoul broken up into districts above to know where you’re headed… or where you want to head.

Seoul Vicinity Accessible Via Subway

While these are other cities, they’re super close to Seoul. These are the Seoul suburbs and you can get to most of these via public transportation directly from Seoul. When we visited, we didn’t even feel like we’d left Seoul sometimes. And so, these articles are here too.

    We are travelling to Korea in a couple of months with our 10 months old son, we’ve used your blog to decide many (not to say, all) our stops! Thanks a lot for all the information, it has been really helpful! Since we are travelling with a kid, would you say is easy to move with a relatively heavy stroller across the main tourist sites in Seoul, as well as other places in the country like temples or folk villages? I am also curious to know how do Koreans feel about breastfeeding in public. Thanks again, great blog!

      Hi Marie, while you can breastfeed in public, it’s not common at all. Actually, most places you visit will have a breastfeeding room so you don’t have to do it in public. Subway stations, folk villages, department stores, you’ll start to notice them if you’re looking for them. Usually somewhere near the bathroom is a separate room just for taking care of your baby: breastfeeding, changing diapers, they have bottle warmers in there too.

      As for strollers, I used a Baby Jogger City Mini, I didn’t find it heavy so not sure if it’s comparable to yours, but it was pretty easy. I will say that there are a lot of stairs in Korea and unfortunately Korea isn’t as accessible as it should be so you’ll end up having to go very far around in some places just to use a stroller. In the popular Insadong district, for example, most of the buildings only have stairs to go up and no elevators still but if you go to the newer buildings, you’d be fine. When I was with my husband or friends, we just got used to having one person on the front and one on the back to carry it up and down stairs because that was generally faster. If you need it, it’s doable for the most part but expect a couple hiccups.

    Thank you for compiling this list! As someone who is planning a trip to Korea later this year, I found this article very informative!
