Namsan Tower Views!

I wanted to make the soul of Seoul pun again but it's a little old now... And I think I used it like 3 times in posts already. So instead I'll talk about the heart of Seoul today!

Namsan tower is a tower located on Namsan mountain north of the Han River in Seoul. The tower itself is over 200 metres tall, and situated on top of the mountain it makes for one of the highest locations in Seoul

Where to find Namsan tower!

North of the river near Myeongdong and Itaewon subway stations. There are buses from both stations to the top, or you can walk!

Going to the top of the tower will cost you 10000 Won (about $8 USD), which is a very reasonable price. However if you don't want to pay you can always get a nice view from the top of the mountain! I took all of my photos from the mountain!

In the distance you can see the river winding through Seoul. It's an amazing view, and a splendid place to hangout and stroll along in summer!

Namsan Tower and Lotte Tower in Seoul both provide some amazing views of this wonderful and beautiful city! Personally I prefer the view from Namsan (and it's less crowded and cheaper), but it's up to you! I would definitely recommend both.

man those views are awesome!!

They are so massive too! Such a vast city... It never stops....

Though I'm korean, I've not been in the top of Namsan Tower yet! lol Anyway, the photos are really awesome!! :-)

It seems that when we live somewhere we don't think to explore it as much! We get used to it, and don't really try to explore I find. Thank you! :)

What a great adventure, to be living in a country and culture so different from New Zealand. Great photos!

It definitely is! It has been hard at times, but always worth it! :) Thank you!

That skyline is amazing!

It is very stunning! Especially when the sun sets!

Know that tower well. Spent 14 months in the Seoul region waaaay back in the 1970's. Dang, has it been that long? Always wanted to go back at some point.

Amazing that it has remained a landmark of Seoul for that long! I didn't know it's been standing for so long actually. Hopefully you get a chance to come back :)
