Seoul Suggestions?

I will be traveling with my parents to Seoul this Fall (October 2008)and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of places to go or things to see. Additionally I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of good hotels to stay at.

Thanks for all of your help and assistance.

Seoul Suggestions?

I am a Korean. I think that you may have a guide book for Korea, but I think there are lots of places which travelers never know.

I suggest:

(%26#39;dong%26#39; means small district in Seoul)

Samcheong-dong (삼청동), Gahwoe-dong (가회동):

beautiful old town in seoul. If you want to see old houses and eat something traditional, these districts could be a good choice. Also for native Korean, I think these districts are much much better than famous Insa-dong (인사동). Could be reached at Anguk(안국) station of Seoul Metro line 3.

Seoul forest: A newly made beautiful forest in Seoul. Could be reached at Ttukseom(뚝섬) station of Seoul Metro line 2.

Han river: A broad river which flows across the city Seoul. Many Koreans go to the bank of Han river if the weather is good. I strongly suggest this place. Could be reached at Apgujeong(압구정) station of Seoul Metro line 3, or Ttukseom resort(뚝섬 유원지) station of Seoul Metro line 7. You can ride small Duck boat for 1~2 hrs at Ttukseom resort station (move in bicycle pedal)

Because I am busy, I must stop writing now. If you have any question, please reply to this post.

You might like to visit the Norygangjin Fish Market. We thought it was an amazing place! We have seen other fish markets but not like this one. It was a huge place with all kinds of sea life - a lot of which we had never seen before. I would highly recommend it. You might want to combine it with a trip to the Seoul63 Building for the views from there. You will have to take a cab there, although you can see it from the fish market. Hope this helps. Seoul is an amazing city!

Noryangjin Fish Market is good. I really think so.

But if you want to eat some Hoe (fresh fish slice), you need some negotiation. Even Koreans need negotiation.
