N Seoul Tower (Namsan Tower)
This week, I visited N Seoul Tower, also known as Namsan Tower. It is the second highest point in Seoul and you can see the whole city at night. The tower itself is located on the top of a hill, so you would either need to take a taxi, ride the bus or just be fine with walking up a bunch of stairs to get there. Once there, you have the option to pay to get to the observation deck. The ticket was fairly priced (under 15,000 won) and it includes admission to the observation deck, as well as some special rooms in the Tower for some cool pictures.
Besides the observation deck, you can also visit the outside of the Tower to get a view of the city and see a whole row of love locks on a bridge. This is a popular activity that many Korean couples do, since the lock is supposed to symbolize their stable and "forever" relationship.
Overall, Namsan Tower was a nice trip if you'd like to see a wide view of Seoul! The view is beautiful and a great place for Instagram pictures.
