Good to know
Suwon works well as an easy overnight from Seoul: stay inside the Hwaseong Fortress old town to walk the walls and Haenggung Palace at your own pace, or pick a hotel by Suwon Station for department stores and quick trains.
The old-town guesthouses are quieter and full of character, while the station area is more practical. It's close enough that a day trip also works if you'd rather sleep in Seoul.
