Hi, I went with my family (4 kids 10 and under) in the spring for a few days and we went to see the folk village, the war memorial museum, Kyeong buk palace, Nam dae mun and did some shopping in the markets. We really enjoyed trying all the different street food. Have a great time. Spring is beautiful in Korea.

Seoul is awesome! Our two favourite places to eat in Myeongdong were Myeongdong Kyoja Main (https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g294197... - the dumplings and the kalguksu are amazing) and Bonjuk Myeongdong for breakfast juk/congee (https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g294197...). tripadvisor in general was quite helpful there, we did not regret any restaurants that were rated above 4 stars on TA.
