Anyway could someone give some input on my itinerary below? Travelling with a group of 8 pax including 1 toddler, so try not to packed too much places in a day. Is there any other places that I should visit or I should not visit ? Day 1 Check in to hotel Day 2 NAMI ISLAND DAY & Petite France. Walk around Myeongdong for dinner & take train back Day 3 GYEONGBOKGUNG PALACE TOSOKCHON SAMGYETANG CHICKEN BUKCHON HANOK VILLAGE DONGDAEMUN MARKET Day 4 NAMDAEMUN MARKET MYEONGDONG LOTTE WORLD DUTY FREE N SEOUL TOWER Day 5 YEOUIDO PARK (SPRING BLOSSOM FESTIVAL) COEX UNDERGROUND MALL NAMDAEMUN NIGHT MARKET Day 6 NORYANGJING FISHERIES WHOLESALE MARKET ( SHORT WALK FROM NORYANGJING STATION EXIT 1 SEOUL SUBWAY STATION LINE 1 ) KIMCHI MAKING CLASS MYEONGDONG NIGHT MARKET Day 7 EWHA WOMEN’S UNIVERSITY EWHA WOMEN’S UNIVERSITY SHOPPING STREET HONGDAE MURAL STREET FREE & EASY Day 8 Travel Back Hi, I'm going to Seoul in March and I do not have an itinerary yet. In Day 2, for Nami Island trip, since you will be travelling out of town, may I suggest you include Garden of Morning Calm in your itinerary as well? If you would like to do two places only, you might wanna leave out Petite France instead. Are you gonna do a Day Tour or DIY? You can check out Klook or KKDay for their day tour packages. Since you will be travelling with a toddler, it will be more comfortable if you are driven. Their tours end at 7.00pm so you are able to catch dinner at Myeongdong Night Market in the evening.

The other countries are Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, the Korean news agency Yonhap reported on Tuesday (Feb 11). “The measure is part of efforts to prevent the inflow of the novel coronavirus into the country through a third nation, ” Kim Gang-lip, deputy head of the central disaster headquarters, was quoted as saying during a regular press briefing. It is not known if the country will also ban travellers arriving from these countries. The last sentence is frightening for those about to travel to S. Korea...

There’s 600 cases in South Korea now and rising. Situation is not teh same as Malaysia anymore. Who else is cancelling their trip? Why should you cancel? Seoul is 2 hours away from Daegu and Cheongdo, where the spike in COVID-19 numbers originate. It's safe in Seoul.

Casual Junior Member 406 posts Joined: Oct 2007	QUOTE(ZzZzz... @ Mar 4 2020, 09:15 AM) looks like im going to cancel my trip to seoul (end april) 5k+ infected now, the statistic doesnt seems good.. regard airbnb, is it possible to get 100% full refund? (as what the host stated is 50% refund in T&C, im not sure any possible to get 100% refund regard COVID19) any advise guys? I also cancelled my Airbnb and there is a refund policy whereby you probably will get back 50% of your funds. For mine, they ony returned less than 50%. Then I appealed through the Resolution Centre but got no reply from the host. Then I appealed through Airbnb Support and also got no reply. Lost lots of money through flights and Airbnb.

Just to update, I have received a full refund from Airbnb, transferred back to my credit card, just two days after verbal confirmation.

Contact Airbnb Support and appeal for full refund due to "Extenuating Circumstances" brought about by the surge of Coronavirus numbers in Korea. Most likely you will receive a call from one of their case managers who will ask you a few questions to evaluate your situation. Best of luck.
