The caves located around 1 hr 30 mins deive from Seoul. Myeongdong cave is beautiful, there is a restaurant with perfect wine, collections of fish and plants, very good conditions. The problem is how about for older people ? As it will be hard to walk far from parking site to the cave, also inside the cave. And when we returned back at night, there are no lights on the way from cave to parking lot. Grade 7,5 out of 10

Very clean subway system that is easy to navigate once you get used to it. The trains are incredibly prompt and you'll hear a lovely jingle before your train arrives. The map lights up on board so its really clear which stop is coming up next. The stations are very clean and you'll actively see cleaners wiping down the subways on a daily basis (London could learn a thing or two from this). We're not sure if its permitted or not but we never saw anyone eating or drinking on the subway and we used it a lot, so its something to be way of.
The underground stations are HUGE and take 5-10 minutes walking when you're swapping lines, something to think about if you're in a hurry.
You have to use the T Money card to use the subway, topping up at stations or convenience stores with cash.
Also - absolutely do not sit in the seats designated for the elderly/pregnant (even if they are empty during your trip). This is frowned upon.

Walking around the park is free and a lot of things to see different flowers and trees plus Waterfalls and birds from chickens to peacocks and a ostrich. after seeing the park there is a museum that was cheap to get into with exhibits from insects all the way up to dinosaurs.

Brilliant park just between modern and traditional. You have plenty of modern sculptures around the park. Perfect for some yoga sessions or having a run. Bare in mind that winters in Incheon are quite cold and rough, plan a good protective clothing if you are planning to have a run.

광명의 관광명소인 광명동굴 입구에 만들어진 평화의 소녀상. 2015년 8월 15일에 만들어짐. 늘 이 소녀상들을 볼 때마다 가슴이 먹먹해짐을 느껴지게 됨. 소녀상의 제작은 전국적으로 늘어나는 추세이니, 설명이 되어 있는 보드를 꼼꼼히 읽어보는 것도 좋을 듯함. 보편적으로 알려진 소녀상의 형태를 띠고 있음.
한국의 슬픈 역사 중 하나인 위안부를 기리는 동상이니 광명동굴을 갔을 때 꼭 한번 보고 느끼고 읽어보는 것이 좋을 듯함.

후손이 만든 개인 박물관이다. 고택은 생각보다 규모가 크고 잘 정비되어 있다. 박물관에는 오리 선생의 친필 등이 아주 많은 것들이 보관되어 있다. 선조때의 영의정. 3대가 영의정을 했다는 곳이다. 대 도심속에서 만나는 고택, 좋았다.

Poignant exhibits, war memorabilia, art works, and military equipment make this a perfect place to learn about Korea’s history of war, most notably with North Korea. Kids will enjoy the display of actual tanks and airplanes.

Never get bored visiting this museum, the exterior ground is currently under renovation. Comparing to my last visit they've added a few machinery guns and displays on the North Korean army side. One could spend an easy 3-4 hours! And the best part is it's free.

The building and setting are spacious. Exhibits are informative, but include reproductions. A pleasant way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy/cold day, especially if you like ceramic pots (there are tons of them!).
