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!

I travelled around by taxi as I wanted to go to places that was included on some of the tours offered there. Taxis in Korea is very cheap and the driver was very helpful and I was not overcharged for being a tourist!
April is a good time to travel with a really good weather and few tourists around. I think if it had been more to the beginning of the month, I would have been able to see thousands of cherry trees in bloom and I expect that would have been so beautiful!

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.
