About
N Seoul Tower stands on Namsan Mountain in the middle of Seoul, South Korea. At 236 metres it is one of the city's best-known landmarks, and its communications tower shape can be seen from many parts of the metropolis. The tower is reached at 105 Namsangongwon-gil, 04340 Seoul.
What to expect
The main draw is the view. From the top of Namsan Mountain, the tower looks out over the sprawling city below, so visitors can get a sense of Seoul's scale in a single glance. Many people come in the evening, when the tower's colourful LED displays light up the skyline each night.
The tower is also a well-known romantic landmark. Couples often attach love locks to the fences and railings around it, and the sight of these locks is one of the things visitors remember most.
Planning a visit
- Go in the evening if you want to see the illuminated skyline.
- Allow time to walk around the mountain area, where the views change as you move.
- Bring a light layer, since the mountain is often windier and cooler than the streets below.
N Seoul Tower suits anyone who wants a wide view of the city, couples looking for a classic Seoul outing, and visitors who enjoy seeing a city from above. It is a straightforward visit that pairs well with a relaxed evening in the Seoul Capital Area.
