Seoul in May with a 1 year old
Hi all,
I got cheap flights to Seoul for May so i booked them without much thought. Looking for some advice on things to check out whilst there. Ive been once but with friends in Hapjeong which was more about nightlife than tourism.
I have 9 days. I am going to rent an apartment in Myeongdong. We will take it slow and where possible return to the apartment so bub can have her afternoon nap. I dont want to go elsewhere in Korea, its too tough with a 1 year old. I've got the following things and areas in mind, looking for a few more ideas - even nice areas to walk around. We are a fit couple, happy to walk around with baby in stroller, like food, architecture, outdoors areas, street art.
2 days - Insadong, palaces, Myeongdong, Town Hall area, Hanok.
1 day - Gangnam
1 day - Hongdae area
1 day - War museum and local area
1 day - Lotte World.
Thanks in advance.

Seoul can be lovely in May, and the people love children, so I'm sure you'll have some great experiences!

I doubt it will be much help, given that I was traveling solo, but you might want to take a look at my trip report -- it's long, but searchable; I visited Seoul at the beginning and end of a month-long trip.

Both events can be wonderful, but do, please, think about where you want to be for the Lotus Lantern Festival (part of the Dharma celebration) -- some places will be mobbed. See post # 24 of the TR linked in above.
