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

I had a wonderful time in the area. The shops in the Insadong area are all staffed by friendly, helpful people and a credit to their profession and their nationality. The ease with which I was able to see the sites in the area and access the airport bus etc., was a time saving bonus. I can certainly recommend this hotel for value, proximity to locales and certainly the Insadong area is a 'tourist destination' in itself!!

For the first time travelling with our children (11 / 14) as backpackers, we got around in Korea in buses and trains. Public transport works extremely well! Our stops were: Seoul, Daechon Beach, Songnisan National Park, Gyeongju, Jeju island (Gwakji Beach + Soegwipo)- all in 15 days.
In Seoul: Don't miss the dance / theatre performance in "Korean House". They have a very good souvenir shop, too.
In Songnisan National Park: don't miss the Beopusa Temple, Buddha's etc.
Except from Seoul we have been staying in yogwans and eating in small local places. We have had excellent menues for 5000 won/person and 4 people sleeping for 40.000 - 60.000 won. It's no problem to have family rooms.
We have had a wonderful time. The Koreans are extremely nice and helpful people. Unfortunately only very few speak english, but we managed any way.

I got around by taxi most of time. There are two types of taxis. One is normal taxi and another one is Deluxe Taxi. They are very reasonably rated. Korean food is wonderful! I loved the food called Mak Gook-soo! The address is 4-4 JangKi Dong, Kimpo City, KyungKi Do. VERY GOOD!

If you are staying at the Hamilton Hotel, you only need to step outside the front door to access taxis, buses, and the subway. The subway gives you low cost access to just about anywhere. But ask the front desk, just in case a taxi might be much quicker.

Seoul is easy to get around in. The subway is efficient and easy to use. You need maps to get anywhere you want to go...street addresses are ineffective!

Stayed at Seoul Palace Hotel - Seoul, South Korea.
|
The subway was easy to use and convenient. It is also very cheap at 700 won a trip. Seoul may not be as cosmopolitan as Tokyo or as beautiful/sentimental as Paris but it has a surprise blend of beautiful architecture in its palaces, lively streets in Insadong and Itaewon plus plenty of shopping to be done.

Palaces are worth seeing. Taxis are inexpensive and the subway is one of the best in the world.

Stayed at Centro, Hotel - Seoul, South Korea.
|
We went there for a business meeting and really have no to time to visit other places other than our potential business partner offices. We use a lot of subway trains for movement and I think that South Korea has developed one of the most systematic transportation systems in the world.
