Namsan Tower – 남산타워

 



Namsan Tower – 남산타워


The Softest View of Seoul from Above



---


If you want to see all of Seoul at once,

you can go to many places.

But if you want to feel Seoul while seeing it — go to Namsan Tower.


Located at the heart of the city yet surrounded by forest,

Namsan Tower (also known as N Seoul Tower) offers more than just a high view.

It gives you time, silence, and a sense of warmth above the city.

Why Namsan Tower Feels Different


A landmark visible from almost anywhere in Seoul


The real beauty is not the tower, but the walk to it


Daytime offers wide skies; nighttime glows with thousands of city lights


Whether you come alone, with friends, or with someone you love — it fits

4 Things You Should Do at Namsan Tower


1. Ride the Cable Car

Short but scenic, the cable car takes you up from Myeong-dong to near the top.

A peaceful ride above the trees and city.


2. Enjoy the View from Palgakjeong (Octagonal Pavilion)

Before reaching the tower, stop at this open-air platform.

One of the best wide-angle views in the city.


3. Walk through the Love Lock Fence

A romantic stop where couples leave padlocks with messages.

It’s colorful, lively, and makes for great photos.


4. Stroll Namsan’s Forest Trail

Forget steep hikes — this is more of a gentle walk.

Perfect in spring for cherry blossoms, fall for red leaves, and winter for white snow.
