"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."

The ultimate high-altitude landmark offering a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of Seoul’s sprawling cityscape. Whether you hike the scenic trails of Namsan Park or take the iconic cable car, the transition from urban bustle to serene heights is unforgettable. The Highlight: The "Locks of Love" terrace—a vibrant, colorful sea of thousands of padlocks symbolizing eternal commitment against a stunning backdrop. Tip: Arrive 40 minutes before sunset to witness the city transform from golden hour into a glittering sea of lights. Also, check the tower’s LED colors: Blue means the air quality is perfect for the best views! An essential, romantic, and highly photogenic Seoul experience.

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! 😅

N Seoul Tower, also known as Namsan Tower, is one of Seoul’s most iconic landmarks and a symbol of the city’s blend of nature, romance, and urban life. Located atop Namsan Mountain, the tower offers spectacular panoramic views of Seoul, making it especially popular during sunset and nighttime when the city lights come alive. One of its most famous features is the Love Locks area, where couples attach padlocks as a symbol of lasting love, creating a romantic and memorable atmosphere. The observation deck provides clear views in all directions, while restaurants and cafés inside the tower allow visitors to enjoy dining with a skyline backdrop. The tower’s LED lighting changes colors at night, often reflecting seasons or special events. Access to N Seoul Tower is part of the experience—visitors can hike, take a cable car, or ride a bus up Namsan Mountain, adding a touch of nature and leisure tourism to the visit. From a tourism management perspective, the attraction demonstrates strong destination branding, accessibility, and visitor experience design, though it can become crowded during peak hours.

A must visit in Seoul! With the weather we got it was a bang on target. Lovely views that we could not stop looking at. And when we found a seating looking down from the tower that also had nice craft beer we stayed even longer. Easy to get to, nice and fast service with the elevator. Also fresh and clean restrooms with sky views.

~throw back to 7th November 2025~ This place is huge and absolutely beautiful! N Seoul Tower is located on top of a mountain, and you can either hike up or take the cable car. Personally, the cable car experience wasn’t that great. there wasn’t much scenery to enjoy, and it was quite crowded, so it didn’t really feel worth it. However, the area around the tower is really nice, with plenty of things to see and many great photo spots. Everything is worth exploring. We were also lucky enough to catch a traditional performance during our visit. Overall, it’s definitely worth going to see!

Beautiful views! Worth a visit if you're a tourist and love high rises. We found it interesting as the building has every country on the window and how many miles it is to South Korea! Though it does get busy, make sure you get a picture printed within the viewing dock! They even provide fun props to wear. We went through the Namsan forest trail and walked up to the building beforehand. Must purchase tickets beforehand.

I took the cable car up to Namsan Tower (N Seoul Tower) to enjoy a panoramic view of Seoul from above. As one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, the tower offers observation decks and restaurants, making it a popular destination for both tourists and locals. Evening hours are especially preferred, as the tower is beautifully illuminated and the city lights create a stunning atmosphere. The area around the tower is filled with love locks, adding a romantic and colorful touch to the experience. With its scenic viewpoints, walking paths, and lively ambiance, Namsan Tower is definitely a must-see spot in Seoul.

We took the Namsan Cable Car up to see the N Seoul Tower. A very quick and easy ride but you have to get through the long line first. You get a beautiful view of the city at the top and there are shops and food stalls, or restaurants, that you can enjoy while here. Definitely recommend trying to time your ride up there around sunset. We were a little early but it was still so beautiful. I got to enjoy some snacks before we made our way back down.
