Seoul (plus?) with a 10-month-old...ideas please

Hi,

We are planning on travelling to Seoul during the first week of October - we have exactly a week, Saturday-Saturday. We'll have our 10-month-old daughter with her. She's a very good traveller, so far...

At first I'd thought we'd just stay in Seoul and explore the city - we tend to do things in a fairly relaxed way so that we can fit in naps, feeds, etc. I'm now wondering whether we would run out of things to do in a week in Seoul.

So, my questions:

1. What is Seoul - and S Korea generally - like if travelling with a baby? What are the facilities etc. like for baby changing, feeding, etc.? Are people generally welcoming to small children like in the rest of Asia?

2. If you were in our shoes, would you look to take some time out of Seoul? If so, where? Some time in the countryside would appeal...we have a backpack for the baby and so short walks are possible.

3. What area of Seoul would be a good place to stay where we have a range of different evening eating options within a short distance of our hotel, enabling quick return in the case of over-exhausted baby meltdowns?

Many thanks for any advice you can give us.

Seoul is very child friendly - family is a major thing here. Nearly all restaurants welcome children, and even babies.

There are a few nice national parks on the outskirts of Seoul, which are only a short subway ride from the city. Bukhansan national park, Dobongsan, or Suraksan.

You can stay anywhere in Seoul practically and be a stone's throw from hundreds of restaurants. The Jongno, Myeong Dong, or Hyehwa areas are very central for sights, and overflowing with food and drink opportunities.

Thanks very much for your advice, carruthers - much appreciated.
