N Seoul Tower

This is a really nice place with a great ambiance. It does feel a bit on the expensive side, but the overall experience makes it worth it. You can definitely spend some quality time here, whether you're with friends, family, or even on your own. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the service is quite good too. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a pleasant outing.

N Seoul Tower is one of those places you just have to visit when you’re in Seoul. It’s an iconic landmark for a reason. The views from the top are absolutely incredible — a full 360° panorama of the city that’s breathtaking both during the day and at night. Getting up there is part of the fun, especially if you take the Namsan Cable Car (though that part could use a refresh). Once you’re at the top, the area around the tower has a nice vibe — lively but not overwhelming. There are cafes, gift shops, and even a place to grab food or sit and chill while taking in the view. The observation deck is clean and well-maintained, and the experience feels organized from start to finish. You’ll also find the famous love locks area just outside, which makes for a fun stop whether you’re traveling solo or with someone. Even if you’re only in Seoul for a short time, make sure this is on your list. It’s touristy, sure — but totally worth it.

I went in the morning and the view was spectacular. We went up the tower and couldn’t stop taking photos. You should go on a clear day so you can see everything better. The way down is also beautiful; however, if you get tired easily, you should wear comfortable shoes. I recommend taking the cable car up and walking down so it’s not too tiring.

Excellent experience and great food options in the tower. You can purchase locks to hang on the live lock fences. You can also purchase postcards and stamps at the top of the tower and mail them in a post box in the same place. I recommend taking the cable car up for pretty views. Really nice walking paths back down if you have good knees.

One might think that this is purely a tourist attraction, but it turns out that Koreans also love it very much. People come here just to walk around, look at the city from above, watch the dragonflies swirling in swarms, and, of course, hang their happiness locks on the staircase railings. For tourists, there are the best views of Seoul, an authentic Korean drumming show, and a large selection of souvenirs—everything tourists love. My wife and I took the cable car up to the tower, but many people prefer to walk up the long stairs—great cardio😉

I like the view of Seoul from the site. It is a remarkable view indeed. 😍 The love statue with the couple locks 🔒 ♥️ is everywhere. Better be here in spring or fall. We visited in July when the temperature rose to 94 and felt like 105. Still, the view is breathtaking 😍

Take the bus up to this scenic spot. A fee to use the observation platform but plenty of free views elsewhere. Hike back down to the city easily via a paved pathway with stairs.

Visited this iconic Seoul landmark on the penultimate day of our visit to South Korea. We took a couple of buses from the Dongdaemun area to reach the base area. The elevation provides an amazing view of Seoul city. Due to hazy conditions, we did not deem it worth riding up the tower due to the limited visibility on the day of our visit. There are lots and lots of people, young and old present to enjoy the view. Great place to bring the family for a picnic. There are designated areas where visitors have tied thousands, if not tens of thousands, of small locks. Well worth about half a day visit when in Seoul.
