Visiting Namsan Tower and Riding the Cable Car

Visiting Namsan Tower if you’re ever in Seoul, Korea is, in my opinion, something that you should definitely do! Namsan Tower, which means “North Tower”, is both a communication tower used for radio and television and also an observation point since it’s the tallest point in Seoul. This is definitely a fun tourist destination because there is so much to do!

In my video, you can see that we took the cable car up to the base of Namsan Mountain. The tickets were pretty affordable and the view is for sure worth the ticket price.

There are a lot of things to do at Namsan Tower. They have several restaurants at the base and even an Olive Young!

This is also where the infamous lock trees and gates are located. Here, you can personalize a lock and attach it to one of these to ensure you and your love will be together forever (well let’s hope so!).

You can buy locks here, but I hear they’re pretty expensive and that you’re almost better off buying a lock before you come.

After you’re done soaking up all the beautiful sights of Seoul, you can take an escalator into the actual tower itself. From there, you have an even better view and Seoul! There’s also a fantastic gift shop that sells all kinds of cute things and activities for children.
