I really enjoyed the Namsangol Hanok Village and would recommend it as well as a bike ride through the World Cup & Olympic sites. There are lots of trails along the river and bikes for rent conveniently and cheaply.

Also enjoyed the moveable feast of street vendors to sample the food stalls rather than search out a different restaurant each night. To each their own but travelling alone I liked sampling the street fare including the five alarm hot meat skewers.

MHO is that to really experience Seoul requires more than just 2-3 nights. Hope that helps.
It does, thanks--or rather, it would have; I had to cancel my NRT/PER trip so won't be doing the ICN stopover this time. Good info for next time, though. Thanks!
