"Dramatic heights frame the film’s climactic battle, and while there isn’t really a concert venue there, taking the cable car up to the tower is a delightful way to see the city skyline." - Ali Wunderman

"Look to the top of Seoul’s 860-foot-tall Namsan Mountain and you’ll see the N Seoul Tower, which rises an additional 777 feet. This aerial perch is the highest point in the city and offers incredible views. Far below, Seoul sprawls out like a toy wonderland, while, on a clear day, North Korea lurks on the horizon. N Seoul Tower also boasts the world’s highest mailbox, so after taking in the views, buy a postcard and send it to someone special."

I hiked up to Seoul North Tower and walked all 1,000 stairs to the top. The trail is beautiful with all the fall colors and the air feels so fresh. Someone even marked the stair count along the way, which kept me going. I went up for the 5:15 sunset and I was definitely ambitious because I barely made it on time. The view over Seoul is absolutely breathtaking. The stairs are very well maintained and there are little resting spots every few minutes. At the top there is a plaza, a 7-Eleven, and a restaurant. After watching the sunset it got dark really fast, and that’s when I realized I couldn’t get an Uber to come up. I panicked a bit because the only way down was by bus and I had no money on my T-money card. I managed to reload it at the 7-Eleven and just hopped on the first bus going down the mountain. When it gets dark there, it is really dark. What an adventure. It was an amazing hike and I highly recommend it. Just make sure your T-money card has enough balance if you stay late! 😅

It was 26000 won (20 usd) to go up to the viewing deck. You can see the city expanse all around the tower which was kind of cool.. but not super amazing. Maybe its better at night? Its interesting to see how spread out the city is... but if you decide not to go up..... its okay... your not missing much. Go spend that money on some tasty food... it will be more memorable!

Namsan Tower is such a fun and iconic spot to visit in Seoul, especially for young travelers. The views from the top are incredible, and the whole area around the tower has a lively, youthful atmosphere. There are plenty of food options, souvenir shops, and cute spots for photos, including the famous love locks. The location is great too — you can reach it by cable car, bus, or a scenic walk through Namsan Park. I also love the outdoor spaces around the tower, which make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the city from above. A must-visit landmark with unforgettable vibes! Note: Its crowded, you must queue for bus and elevator!

Must visit! It’s so scenic, especially with autumn colors. One gets beautiful Birds Eye view of the city and there are lot of cultural activities. Keeps one busy and entertained. Plenty of buses to take one around. It was lot walking, including some steep but worth every step.

N Seoul Tower is an amazing experience with incredible views of Seoul from far up above. We loved the option to add a love lock to the walls and you can easily purchase locks from the shops or even the vending machines during your visit. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops at the top which makes it a fun place to explore. It is very easy to access whether you choose to walk, take a car, use public transport or ride the cable car. I recommend the cable car because it is a really cool experience on its own. There are toilets on site that are clean and well kept. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating to tourists. There are also other fun activities at the top including photo booths, photo spots and brand pop ups. Overall N Seoul Tower is a must visit for the views and the great atmosphere.

A must on any trip to Seoul. Spectacular views. Be prepared for crowds on the weekends. On previous trips I’ve walked up - cable car is fun but huge queue & a long wait if you do that. This time I cycled up - steep … thank goodness for e-bikes! Don’t miss the small plaque & marker on the top … often overlooked but it’s the geographic center of the city, very cool.

I love this tower. It's so iconic and a pure symbol of this city. You can't help but feel warmth when you spot it as you venture around the city, whether you are walking or on a bus. Those glimpses of the tower are all beautiful. And the views are spectacular from the observatory.

Great views of the city. Recommended to Come here at night. The lights shining on the tower gives it a mystical feel and look. The deck offers great views of the night skyline! The is a mall under the tower A but there is nothing to shout about. No crowds and no vibes. A place that is to be visited only once.
