N Seoul Tower (Namsan Tower)

Namsan Tower, officially known as N Seoul Tower, is Seoul's main observation deck and one of the city's most recognizable symbols. Standing atop Mount Namsan, the tower offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the metropolis.

The tower has several observation levels, a revolving restaurant, a Teddy Bear Museum, and the famous "Love Locks Terrace" where couples hang locks with their names. At night, the tower is beautifully illuminated.

You can ascend by cable car or on foot through Namsan Park. Best time to visit is evening when city lights come on. Arriving an hour before sunset is recommended.
