Overview

N Seoul Tower is layered over Namsan Mountain: free outdoor terraces at the base, multi-floor indoor observatories high inside the 236 m tower, and premium dining near the top. Knowing what each area offers helps you decide if you just need an observatory ticket, or if a combo or dining upgrade is worth it.
