    • By bus

      The bus lines in Suwon are reliable and cheap. Most major stops have a listing of available bus lines with route information. Green buses typically run around the cities, and larger red buses take passengers to Seoul and neighboring cities. While mainly listed in Korean, most major stops and points of interest are also listed in English.

    • By taxi

      Taxis are prevalent in Suwon, and easy to use. Several offer "free translation" services. You should know a major feature near your destination as the Taxi drivers may not know specific addresses or minor building names, however with a little patience and understanding you will find a taxi willing to get you near your destination. Some will even call "English speaking" friends or relatives to help. Taxis are easily identified, mainly gray, white or black with lit signs on top and in the front windows. Black taxis are "luxury" taxis, tend to be more comfortable/larger cars, go slower, and cost more. The gray or white taxis tend to get you there faster and cheaper, but may drive more recklessly.

    • By subway

      There are currently four stops on Seoul subway Line 1 that service the Suwon area. Suwon Station is the central, and largest in Suwon, and the second largest in the country, and also houses the train station proper, where you can catch a train to nearly anywhere else in the country. Seryu, Hwaseo, and Sungkyunkwan University are the others.

      Recently completed extensions to the Bundang Line also service other parts of the city, namely: Cheongmyeong, Yeongtong, Mangpo, MaetanGwonseon, Suwon City Hall, Maegyo and also the Suwon station itself.

      It takes about an hour and a half to travel the whole length of the Bundang line from Suwon Station to its termination in Seoul at the Wangsimni station.

    • By bicycle

      Cycling in Suwon is easy as the sidewalks are wide and many are combination sidewalk and bike path. There are only a few challenging hills in Suwon and pedestrian traffic is not congestive in most areas.

    • On foot

      Suwon is a large city, but walking can be a nice alternative to driving around downtown, the markets and the fortress proper. Whilst the walk between Suwon train station and the fotress is doable at a stretch, the Intercity Bus Terminal on the south side is well too far away, via a polluted mess of urban sprawl.

  • filter_dramaSee
    Hwaseong Fortress (sometimes referred to as simply Suwon Fortress) - a stunning fortress constructed between 1794 to 1796 and a [wiki=255f23d5f5774408a90d290f4d8f6aac]UNESCO World Heritage[/wiki] Site - a 2-3 hour walk to complete the circumference. Visitors can try out archery at Hwaseong fortress.

    *Manseok Park, Jangan-gu - a large park with lake and recreational facilities.

    * World Cup Stadium - also known as the Big Bird, Suwon's World Cup Stadium hosted one of the quarter-finals for the 2002 FIFA World Cup and is now home to the Suwon Blue Wings of the K-League.

    * Suwon First Church (수원제일교회 Suwon Jeil Gyohoe) - Very striking church that dominates the Suwon skyline. Humongous 10-storey complex atop a hill and built entirely of black bricks (and being Korean, inexplicably trimmed with neon), it makes for an interesting sight, and a Korean architectural oddity.
  • filter_dramaDo
    Mount Gwanggyo is in the north end of Suwon and offers an excellent of view of Suwon and the surrounding area. There are a number of peaks as well as a number of trails of varying difficulty. After a hike, try eating at one of the many farm restaurants at the base of the mountain. There are plenty of options for vegetarians here, and the tofu and dong-dong ju are as fresh as you can get it.
  • filter_dramaBuy
    You can find many cloth and jewellery retail outlets near Paldalmun(Nammun). It is a part of Hwaseong Fortress.You can shop for brands like Chanel, Boss, Diesel and other international fashion chains at Galleria or the Suwon station mall

    Paldalmun is a famous place in Suwon for buying winter clothes, apparels and cosmetics
  • filter_dramaEat
    The food court in the mall at the train/metro station offers an excellent quality Korean meal- for a very nice price. One can get a fantastic meal for 4500 (about $5) One may select from many choices; there is a showcase displaying them.

    Besides plentiful traditional Korean restaurants there are many places which serve other cuisines and fast food.

    One of the finest Japanese donkas restaurants in the city is Datzzang, on the north-east side of Manseok Park, in an area with plenty of variety of food and drink.

    Vegetarian food is difficult to find without a Korean speaker in your party. Korean food is very tasty, and does have vegetarian dishes, you just need to know how to ask for them. At a pinch, there are always Western options such as baguette sandwiches, Pizzas, burgers etc. where you can point and show how many you want. If all else fails, a big smile and a "ch'e-shik-chuui-jah" (a Vegetarian person) will earn you a selection of veggie side dishes in most of the very many korean restaurants. Korean hosts are very keen to please. Be prepared that it may contain a couple of shellfish thrown in here and there, which you may prefer to leave on the side. Christianity is more widespread than Buddhism, so the usual gambit of claiming to be Buddhist may not help as much as in, say, China, Tibet, Japan, etc. There is at least one Vegetarian restaurant in Suwon, which has changed names a couple of times, is generally very busy, and quite a way from the central area. There is also a chain veggie restaurant in Seoul.
