Seoul Stopover - mid September

My wife and I have a 2 day stopover in Seoul on our way to Bali. I would appreciate suggestions for:





The best area to stay and a nice hotel.





Transportation from Airport to Hotel.





Things to do during a 2 day trip.





Thank You



Seoul Stopover - mid September


please give us a bit more info- eg budget and what you mean by nice.





There are airport limousine buses into town for about 14 US which are quick and comfortable. Journey time 90 mins for the 70 km.



Suggest you look at ';things to do'; on this page on the left. But you have palaces (Gyeongbuk, Dokksu and others), the DMZ, shopping or just walking in markets (Namdaemun, Dongdaemun), temples, Namsan ( mountain in middle of Seoul- cable car, restaurant, folk village) Han river cruises etc etc).



Many people like Ibis in Myeongdong, which is cheap and well sited for entertainment. ';Best'; hotels in qulaity terms are probably reckoned to be Shilla and Grand Intercontinental. The latter is by the COEX mall in Gangnam, the business area. Right beside Bongeun tempel, which does temple stay afternoons for foreigners.





Transport within Seoul is dead easy by subway, and dead slow by taxi.
