Stopover in Seoul
Posted: Tue February 3, 2009 04:36 AM UTC

I'm flying from New Zealand to London with an Overnight stopover in Seoul, and was just wondering what there is to do in Seoul?

We fly into Seoul at approx 8pm in May, and fly out again at about midday the next day.

PS. I know nothing about Seoul =)

There is just too much to list. Check out my pages and this link to give you some ideas.

One thing you may have time for is one of the shorter stop over tours, but the times that they start really don't coincide well with your travel times.

I really can't see how you will see anything of seoul, considering you fly in at 8pm clear the airport approx 10pm. Then be back at the airport at 10am the next day. Factoring in the tiredness, the inside of your hotel room might be all you do see.

But i could be wrong, have a great trip : )

I'm hoping to get a few hours in either way! I'm hoping to sleep on the plane, and knowing me, when we arrive in Seoul I'll be too excited to sleep while we're there!
I could be wrong about sleeping on the plane, but I'm going to try my hardest to squeeze a lot into my trip!

Hi there,

Check out my Seoul page for some tips on things to do. My favourites were the palaces.

Cheers,
