Stayed at Hamilton Hotel - Seoul, South Korea.
|
Destination to hotel was quite straightforward, abt 80 minutes from the Incheon International Airport, we took the subway to Lotte World and Everland although the latter was a bit of a hassle, having have to take a bus there, wasted abt 1-1/2 hrs. Italian Restaurant at Galleria Shopping Centre was excellent, Hyundai Department Store is a must go. Hard Rock Cafe is a little bit too far away from where we stay so we took the cab there. Most of the time, we got around the city using the subway, very convenient. The system was excellent.

If you want to see Seoul and experience the Korean culture in one day; you may want to check out the Modern Seoul Tour and the Korea House Dinner and Show sponsored by Grace Travels. It was a great experience!

Stayed at Uljiro Co-Op Residence - Seoul, South Korea.
|
Cheongbokgung and Insadong are must-see for tourists. I loved the traditional percussion performance at Korea House ($29), but I hear that the modern Nanta show ($60) is excellent as well. I also loved the Noranjin Fish Market, we bought a dozen oysters for $3 and brought it into the restaurant to eat right there. Lots of fun.

Lots of designer brand imitations in Dongdaemum area. Take your time to browse them and do ask for a 10-20% discount. A must see performance in Seoul is Nanta. Please refer to nanta.co.kr for the details. Believe me... you won't regret it.

Stayed at Coatel Chereville - Seoul, South Korea.

The Seoul subway is cheap (900-1000 won = $.90-$1 for many destinations) and easy to navigate--all signs are in English too. Lotte World, just a few stops away from this hotel, was cheap and a good outing for our toddler. It is mostly indoors, which makes it great year-round (we visited in late November).

Stayed at Hamilton Hotel - Seoul, South Korea.

There is an excellent Thai Resturant - Pattaya - located just a few steps from the hotel, for those just getting used to Korean food but familiar with East Asia's more well travelled destinations' cuisine. And across the road is the famous upscale foreigners hang outs - Gecko's and the Seoul Pub. And of course, shopping abounds in Itaewon! This makes the Hamilton an ideal place for a first visit to Seoul.

Stayed at Crown Insadong, Hotel - Seoul, South Korea.

I went to watch NANTA (musical) as recommended by some friend. However the show was not interesting and I found it very expensive (50,000 Korean Won for VIP seat). If one really wants to go, I advise to buy cheaper seat (A or B class) ticket, the hall was quite small yet half empty.

Seoul is fascinating - a great mingling of modern development and historic palaces and temples around tons of shopping. Do not miss the traditional performance at the Chongdong Theater - one of the best we have ever seen anywhere!

Stayed at Sofitel Ambassador Seoul - Seoul, South Korea.
|
I travel to Seoul frequently on business only. The Sofitel is a short cab ride to Itaewon for those interested in the nightlife or shopping and very close to the Communication Tower in Namsun Park.

If you have the chance to catch "NANTA", a great tourist venue, I recommend it. It's an amazing show with ear catching rhythms & comedic, lively acts.
The Korean Folk Village is a good venue if you want to learn about basic korean culture.
