I would definitely recommend the City Tour Bus. Unfortunately for us, we didn't have a lot of time to see all the sights on the tour, but it's worth the money to be able to hop on an off the bus and travel around. Pattaya is a fabulous restaurant for Thai food. Gecko's is a great bar that plays good music. If you want to sit outside, go to Club Caliente and sit on the roof. The Electronics Market is out of control! There are soooo many stores, one could spend the entire trip there and still wouldn't be able to see all the stores! The taxis are very inexpensive and the drivers know how to speak English to help get you around. The subway system is phenomenal! I would definitely recommend using it if you want to go to other places in Korea!

Watch out at the airport - there are taxi-guys actively persuading foreigners to take their taxis which are about 40 times as expensive as a bus!

It's located at just little bit far from the downtown. In addition, you need to climb up the tough slope. I strongly recommend that you use taxi from any direction.

I did not have much time in Seoul but the tube system was very easy to use and a lot of English instructions probably due to the World Cup (football) which was held there last year!

Seoul has an excellent subway system within walking distance from the hotel. A five minute train ride will bring you to palaces, English language bookstores and any number of good restaurants.

Seoul is very, very cold in winter. Subway system is clean, cheap, efficient and easy to use. Nearest subway stop is about 5 minutes walk from hotel. Insa Dong (only a couple of stops away on the subway at Anguk) is a lovely street full of interesting shops and great restaurants to suit all wallets. There's an extremely helpful tourist information booth at the top of the road.

Restaurants in the vicinity unfortunately all seem to close at 10:00 pm already; 24-hour convenience store right across from hotel; central location; taxis recommended means of transportation.

Took the subway everywhere and it was great. People were extremely helpful, coming up to us and asking if we needed help when we would be studying our subway map. There are many traditional Korean restaurants in the area. Other customers who spoke English helped us with the menus. Visited the Korean Folk Village and it was well worth it.
