The subway is clean, air-conditioned, and stroller-accessible at most major stations. Some things to keep in mind before flying:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 <strong>T-money card<\/strong>&nbsp;is your one-stop transit card. Buy at any convenience store. Children aged 6 to 18 get a discounted rate, but you need to register the card to activate it. Kids under 6 ride free.&nbsp;<br><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Supermom tip:&nbsp;<\/strong>Elevators are available at&nbsp;majority of&nbsp;stations.&nbsp;They are clearly marked but sometimes tucked away. Follow the wheelchair icons rather than the exit numbers when you have a stroller.<br>\u2022 <strong>Naver Maps or Kakao Maps<\/strong>&nbsp;work better than Google Maps in Korea. Download both before you fly.&nbsp;<br>\u2022 <strong>Kakao Taxi<\/strong>&nbsp;is the local Grab. Used widely, English interface, and far cheaper than hailing on the street.&nbsp;<br>\u2022 <strong>From Incheon Airport to central Seoul,<\/strong>&nbsp;the AREX airport express takes about 45 to 60 minutes and is stroller-friendly with luggage space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-suggested-6-day-seoul-itinerary\"><strong>A suggested 6-day Seoul itinerary<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Day&nbsp;<\/td><td>Morning&nbsp;<\/td><td>Afternoon&nbsp;<\/td><td>Night&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Day 1&nbsp;<\/td><td>Arrive Incheon, AREX to hotel, settle in&nbsp;<\/td><td>Light walk around&nbsp;Myeongdong, easy dinner nearby&nbsp;<\/td><td>Early night&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Day 2&nbsp;<\/td><td>Gyeongbokgung Palace + hanbok rental (avoid Tuesdays)&nbsp;<\/td><td>Bukchon&nbsp;Hanok Village stroll&nbsp;<\/td><td>Insadong&nbsp;street food&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Day 3&nbsp;<\/td><td>Lotte World (full day, indoor backup if raining)&nbsp;<\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Dinner at the amusement&nbsp;partk&nbsp;or casual dinner near hotel&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Day 4&nbsp;<\/td><td>N Seoul Tower + Namsan cable car&nbsp;<\/td><td>Kids caf\u00e9 break&nbsp;<\/td><td>Hongdae walk and dinner&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Day 5&nbsp;<\/td><td>COEX Aquarium + Starfield Library&nbsp;<\/td><td>Han River park&nbsp;picnic +&nbsp;Banpo&nbsp;Rainbow Fountain (8 pm show)&nbsp;<\/td><td>Food delivery to hotel for all the spots you missed out&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Day 6&nbsp;<\/td><td>Souvenir shopping in&nbsp;Myeongdong&nbsp;<\/td><td>AREX back to Incheon&nbsp;<\/td><td>Fly home&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1<strong>&nbsp;Supermom tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;Factor&nbsp;in&nbsp;one rest&nbsp;morning&nbsp;somewhere in the middle.
