Seoul at night

N-Tower, also known as Seoul Tower, Namsan Tower, was built in 1969. Opened to the public October 15, 1980.

If you haven't been to N-Tower, you haven't been to Seoul! The tower offers a magnificent view of the capital of South Korea. During the day, you can see in detail the famous areas of Myeongdong, Gangnam, Itaewon, Mapo, Jamsil; and in the evening, enjoy the streams of cars that envelop Seoul like a web of fire...

The height of the tower is 236.7 m from the foot to the end of the spire (and taking into account Namsan Mountain, on which it is located, it is 479.7 m above sea level).

The tower received its modern name N-Tower after the reconstruction in 2005. The cost of reconstruction is estimated at 15 billion won (about $15 million).

Now the tower positions itself as a place for romantic couples: at the foot of the tower there is a whole park of "trees" hung with locks (it is advisable to throw out the key); special "couple benches" are popular with tower guests.

In the evening, a multimedia laser show is held on the tower, in which the tower itself becomes a kind of screen.

For some reason, the "heavenly toilet" also enjoys great attention of visitors ... Perhaps this is the highest toilet in all of Korea? ..

Attention! Private vehicles are not allowed to enter Mount Namsan, where the N-Tower is located. For groups of 1-3 people, we offer a choice: use the funicular (extra charge: 13 USD, 10 USD for a child; on foot; by public bus (ticket costs approx. 1 USD per person). Or we can climb one of the mountains surrounding the center of Seoul by private vehicle ("Bugak Skyway" on Mount Bugaksan or "Camel Mountain" (Naksan).

What to Expect from a Cruise on the Han River

The Han River flows right through the heart of Seoul; during the day, you can enjoy views of the city from the comfort of a cozy riverboat, and in the evening—from May to September, during the warm season—you can witness the spectacle of the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain, the longest fountain in the world located on a bridge, yet another Guinness World Record held by Seoul.

Features of the River Cruise

When embarking on a cruise on the Han River, you will board a cozy boat equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay (including life jackets, just in case you feel like taking a swim). The cruises usually include a route under several of Seoul's famous bridges, each illuminated by lights, creating the impression that you're moving through a field of stars. In the evening, the Banpo Bridge transforms into a rainbow fountain, which is especially impressive after a couple of glasses of wine (one of the cruise options even includes a buffet dinner right on the boat).
