Seoul Travel Forum

hi everyone!

I'm flyin to Seuol on the next tuesday 13th, only for a cople of days merely business purpose...is there any special location to chill out in that city? I ask just in case got some spare time...how difficult is to move around by bus within the city? thanks

Which airport bus travels closest to the Best Western Premier Gangnam, 205 Nonhyun-Dong, Gangnam-Gu?

I've been told by a questionable source that one of the tours of the DMZ, has a stop at a train station in/near Panmunjom that among other things offers a tourist passport stamp representing DPRK with the dove of peace.

I've toured the DMZ and JSA during my tour of North Korea, and done the USO tour... So one of my friends and I were looking for something else. Any insight on which other tours offer this station? No other posts or tips give any definitive information. is it Dorasan Railway Station?

Can anyone advise me on the best way to get from Incheon Airport (ICN) to Camp Kim? How long does it take to travel between the two? If a taxi is the best way, what would the taxi fare be?

Thanks!

Can someone tell me how to find out about the
Little League baseball organizations in and around Seoul?

Thank you so much!

Sorry for the weird question...

I plan to buy bread from Tous Les Jour ('cuz I really love them, and our country doesn't have any Tous Les Jour or anything close to it) and bring it back to my country. Am I allowed to have the bread check-in with me at the airport? I'll just put it on my carry-on backpack

I was supposed to travel via Bangkok but was rerouted through Seoul. I had my heart set on buying a bunch of soccer uniforms (national team and club team imitations for kids) and know where to get them cheap in Bangkok as they produce them there. They are about $6-$10 dollars there and $50 or more in the US. Do they sell such things in Seoul? My kids are due for a size up...

Thanks!

Hi Everyone. I'm new to this forum. I've tried to search for an answer to my question, but without luck. I want to stop over in Seoul for 3-4 days on my way back from Singapore. Just wondering if there are any reputable tours that do 3-days of guided sight-seeing around Seoul including hotel and airport pickup/dropoff. I don't speak of a word of Korean and just want something "effortless" to participate in since I'll be alone for this leg of my trip. I really appreciate any feedback you might have.

I am trying to find out about the Black Cat restuarant in Seoul. I know is near Lotte world...but can't find it on the internet.

Anyone living in the area or visiting having info on it would be great.

I am assuming my spelling is correct...maybe it could be Black Kat or something sounding similar.

thank you

Hi all,

I am interested in buying a modern Korean painting in Seoul.. Which areas would be good for this - Insadong or Samcheongdong?

We are 4 adults that are traveling through Seoul and have 20 hours to spend in Seoul. Anything must see in this city?

Am deciding which hotel should I be staying? Sejong or IBIS Myeong Dong? The above 2 hotels comes in almost the same price, which one should I pick? in terms of room size, comfortable and convenience?

Hi. I've got some Marriott Reward points that I wanna use in Seoul. Both Marriott and Renaissance hotel cost the same amount of points. Which one would you recommend? Thanks!

Hi. I'll be in Seoul for about a week next month. My hubby will be attending a conference in Coex for the last 3 days. Can anyone please recommend what to do for that 3 days? Where can I explore?

Also, what about the first 3 days when we are free? Should we stay in Seoul and explore the place? Is there anywhere we can do a day tripper from Seoul? Thanks a lot!! :)

I'm planning to stay in MyeongDong area, as recommended by other GTs. My original plan is to stay at Seoul's Backpackers, but my mom wants to come with me, and I think staying in a backpacker's place is not her idea of fun. My questions:
1)I heard the best place to stay is at a love hotel/motel. how do I know if
it's a love motel? I can't search any of them in the internet. Do they
accept reservations through the internet?

2)If we're going to stay at an actual hotel, can I find one with the price range of US $40- US $70?

I'm staying at Seoul's Backpackers, and I'm wrote them an email of my questions, but I still got no reply for almost a month. I was wondering if anyone is in Soeul right now and would do me a favor of calling them and asking them these questions:

1)Does the double room have their own bathroom?
2) For the double room, is the bed one big bed for 2 people to share or do they have 2 single bed?

That's all. I hope someone can help me. Thanks!

Thanks.

Hi,
We will be in Seoul for 2 weeks in July, the place we are staying is not very central so we will have to rely on the subway a lot to get around.
My question is, which is the best ticket to buy? I have been on the Seoul subway site and it has a few different kinds of pre-pay tickets, T card, Metro Pass and Transit Cards, we want to be able to be flexible as to where we go and not have to worry about having to keep topping up a card. Also do they include bus travel?

How long does it take to get to Incheon International Airport from Gimpo Airport (domestic arrivals)? Are there frequent buses?

I was having second thoughts about this question, but i will ask it anyway.

I am not Korean but I have been hooked on the Korean drama and music scene. I was wondering where I can get some information on concerts, live show or celebrity meet & greet event schedules in March. Or how to be in the studio audience for a music variety show, perhaps?

If anyone could point me to the right direction so I could include something like this in my itinerary would be great :)

Hi there,

I am planning a trip to Seoul and would like to get some opinions on where I should book accommodation. I would like to stay in the heart of the shopping/entertainment area and next to a train station.

I was looking to stay in Dongdaemun but the only place i could find is Best Western. Can you suggest other accommodation places in Dongdaemun?

If not in Dongdaemun, I would like to stay in Myeongdong, can you please suggest accomodation in Myeongdong that is also next to a train station?

Thank you. I am really looking forward to my trip to Seoul!

I am going to Mongolia and Seuol is on the way. I have never been to Korea, and plan to go there to visit one day. I hear July has monsoons and maybe typhoons - how bad do they get? Is it best to stay only say 2 days, and come back another time to see it properly>

Annyong haseyo!

I'm visiting Korea again soon! Yay! I will be there during the week of the Hi-Seoul Festival (26 April - 5 May). However I won't be spending the whole period in Seoul but I will be traveling to other parts of the country for about 4-5 days. My question is, when are the not-to-be-missed days during the festival? The opening and closing perhaps??

Oh yes, I am a hallyu fan, by the way!

I need to contact the band that was playing at Stompers on Sat. Jan. 26. Can anyone help me with band info or Stompers contact info?

The tour person arranging our accomodation n out of seoul trips has listed Rainbow hotel at seoul station as an option. Has anyone been there before? Is it an acceptable hotel? meaning clean n safe? Since she says its at seoul station i'm assuming that is should be close to the subway station. Correct?

Thank yo.
