Astonishing Views from N-Seoul Tower in Korea

Jul. 30, 2013 by Matt van Vuuren

The N-Seoul tower is built on top of a giant mountain in the heart of Seoul offering the best view of the city and on a clear day you can even see North-Korea.

Namsam Tower, currently known as the N Seoul Tower, is located on a small mountain in the heart of Seoul and overlooks the entire Seoul skyline.

Unfortunately the weather was pretty foggy during the daytime but luckily it cleared up as night.

There was an exposition taking place about LOVE which was also taking place at Roppongi Hills in Tokyo.

Seoul Tower opened to the public on October 15, 1980 and has since become a major tourist attraction. The 236.7m Seoul Tower sits atop Namsan Mountain (243m), Seoul Tower offers panoramic views of Seoul and the surrounding areas.

The view is so stunning that many consider Seoul Tower the best tower in Asia.

Thirty years and countless visitors later, as the structure was renamed 'N Seoul Tower'. The letter 'N' stands for the tower's 'new' look, which resulted from a 15 billion won remodeling in Dec 2005.

I got encouraged to try the N Grill western-style restaurant revolving restaurant (one rotation every 48 minutes) and the Sky Restroom (an artfully decorated space). Both offer breathtaking views of the cityscape.
