decided on a few days here at the end of the month

any tips on what to see, where to stay etc would be appreciated - was thinking 3 days there ??

Will be travelling from Ilsan - so I guess I need to go into Seoul to get a train/bus

thanks a lot

Lots of buses go through Yeongwol as I understand.
From the main station and Gangnam.

thanks

looks like i will have no problem getting there then.... had a look at the two official web pages and it seems very clear how to get to all the sights etc - but no mention of accommodation ....


Am I right to assume it will be easy to find a love motel near the bus station - or does someone know perhaps something a little more scenic near the sites ???

thanks in advance.......

despite quite a bit of research - cannot find much on accommodation - so I am going to assume we will be able to get a love motel by the bus station

looks like these are the sites to see:

We are gonna be there for 2/3 days - any advice on what order to see these in so we are not going back and forth to downtown yeongpol ???

thanks a lot


also - is it possible to reserve seats for the bus ?

cheers

I hope this reply isn't too late, but..check out the Byulmaro Astronomical Observatory! I went there in the dead of winter in a blizzard that caused our taxi drive to ricochet off the stone walls of the switchback, so I didn't get to look out the telescope, but it's the largest one in Korea so I highly recommend checking it out.
