I am living in Incheon. My mother and I arrived in Seoul on Saturday and we visited Deoksung Palace and watched the changing of the guards ceremony. Great. We also went to Yongsan Electronic World and did some shopping (brilliant value, though difficult to find English speakers working there). We went to Namsan tower in the cable car and ate at the revolving restaurant. The restaurant is really pretty and the food was okay. On Sunday we went to Chuncheon. We stayed at the Sejong and it was alright, the restaurant there was not great.

Recommend a visit to the world cup stadium and surrouding parks. Also the Seoul tower is worth a trip with 360 degree views over the whole city. Take the cable car to the summit for spectacular views of the city.
Dongadeum market has to be seen to be believed - amazing number of stall/shops and street vendors selling everything one could want.

Seoul is a businessman's destination and hasn't changed much over the past decade. It is still difficult to venture out of your hotel, unless you go to another one....

I only had a day for site-seeing. I would strongly recommend Insa-Dong and the Nam-Dae-Mun market for those interested in shopping and experiencing local culture. We visited the palace but because of the restorations, it was not as good as it could be. Nam San tower was a good way to get an impressive view of the city.
I would recommend that guests be advised of the subway system. It's very good but requires some knowledge to use it well. The one confusing thing for me was the exit tunnel system. You have to know the exit numbers to get to your final destination as you cannot cross streets on the surface in many locations. Guests should be aware of this fact.
