N Seoul Tower
N 서울 타워
Seoul's iconic landmark with stunning city views
The N Seoul Tower is the most recognizable landmark in the city and the top tourist destination in Seoul, drawing tens of millions of visitors from all over Korea and the world every year. Love locks at the entrance and around the place prove the popularity of this place. From the basement up to the 5th story, it's called "Seoul Tower Plaza," and above that is a tower. The tower's 5th-floor observatory deck, which provides sweeping views of the city by day and a kaleidoscopic array of lights at night, is also popular. You can walk up to the tower or use the Namsan circulation bus, but if you take the "Namsan Cable Car" which is popular with many tourists, you can reach the tower in just three minutes.
