South Korea

Seoul

Seoul is intensely stimulating for families, from the grand courtyards of Gyeongbokgung Palace to the neon-lit beauty shops of Myeongdong, and the food at every level is exceptional. Tosokchon near the palace is famous for its ginseng chicken soup, a slow-cooked whole chicken that tastes like it was made specifically for tired travelers. The quieter side of Seoul surfaces in Mullae-dong, a former industrial area where young artists have taken over workshops and turned them into galleries and studios. Download Naver Map or KakaoMap before arriving because Google Maps simply doesn't perform well in Korea.
