Perched atop Namsan Mountain in the heart of Seoul, N Seoul Tower is one of the citys most iconic landmarks and offers unmatched panoramic views of the sprawling metropolis below. The tower has been a symbol of Seoul since 1969, and the observation deck at 236 meters provides 360-degree views that are particularly stunning at night when the citys lights stretch to the horizon. The famous love lock fence on the outdoor terrace has become a must-visit for couples, who attach padlocks inscribed with their wishes. Reach the tower by cable car from the Namsan base for a scenic ride, or hike the 20-minute trail through the forest for a more active approach.
