Gwanghwamun Square

💡 The square is wide and open, which makes a stroller walk genuinely pleasant. Unlike the crowded streets around it, the view opens up and you can walk slowly with a child. 💡 In summer the ground fountain runs and children can play in the water. Bring a change of clothes

💡 A free activity centre is tucked underground behind the King Sejong statue. Boarding a turtle ship and Hangeul rubbing are free, and well worth dropping into with a child. 💡 By day there is the open square and the fountain; in the evening, media art and the night view. The mood changes with the hour, so it is worth visiting both in daylight and after dark.

💡 King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sun-sin are the historical figures Koreans most admire, and Gwanghwamun Square is the Seoul landmark dedicated to them. 💡 Free high-speed wifi (Seoul_Secure) covers the whole square. 💡 The underground baby lounge has a nursing room, a microwave and a changing table.
