They say, when you go to Korea, these are the places that one must visit:
(1) Jogyesa Temple - large and beautiful temple. If you have time do half day temple stays where you learn about the life and live it a tiny bit. "You'll never forget the four bowl lunch."
(2) Changdeokgung and Changgyeonggung - Temples surrounding the backpacker hostel are pretty good.
(3) Tapgol Park - small, peacful park containing an ancient marble pagoda, protected by a large glass case.
(4) Seoul Tower - fantastic views of the city, especially at night. You can catch a cable car up to to the base of the tower, or a bus from Chung-muro subway stop.
(5) Namdaemun/Sungnyemun - the south gate, National Treasure number 1 and stunning.
(6) Gyeongbokgung - the main palace in the centre of Seoul. Take a few hours to wander round and look at the gardens and buildings.
(7) The Hammering Man - a bizarre huge moving statue close to the museum of history.
(8) Nanta - a cooking/ taiko performance which is just insane. Most hotels have information leaflets about it.
