Travel in Korea

Traveling in Korea with Children The following are a few tips on a variety of convenience facilities that will help make traveling with children a breeze. We have also included a number of recommended tourist sites and shopping centers as well as tips on transportation and hospitals.

• Transportation – Children Travel Free! When traveling in Korea with children, trains are the best form of transportation, and children under 4 accompanied by an adult ride for free (Children ages 4-13 get a 50% discount). Major train stations in Seoul, Yongsan, and Busan provide nursing rooms, and you will also find a nursing room and baby-changing rooms on high-speed KTX trains. Most subways in Korea are equipped with escalators or elevators, so maneuvering strollers is no problem. A child under the age of 7 who’s accompanied by an adult can ride buses and subways for free. Unfortunately for more than one child, you have to pay an additional fee. → For more information on the train, click here! → For more information on the subway, click here!

• Shopping In mega discount stores like Lotte Mart or E-mart, you can rent a baby cart or shopping cart with a stroller. If you need to take a break, you can also find nursing rooms in these kinds of shopping centers. Department stores also provide free strollers at the customer service centers on the first floors as well as a play area. If you want to buy children's toys or clothes for less in Korea, go to the children's clothing area in Namdaemun Market. You can also buy goods at 30 to 50% less than the normal retail prices at storefront clothing shops at Dongdaemun Market.
