Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Lotte World Tower & Mall offers stores, cafes, restaurants, galleries, and even a concert hall. The Tower is the fifth highest in the world and has an observation deck, a skywalk, and a luxury hotel.
One of the best tallest buildings I have visited. Very, very modern (opened in 2017), beautiful architecture, very high observation deck (478m), including a nice glass floor section, great views to all Seoul.

The Seoul Sky Observatory is located at the top of the Lotte World Tower, the world's fifth tallest building standing 123 stories and 555 meters high. As the tallest building in South Korea, it is the only place where you can take in a gorgeous 360-degree view of Seoul, the capital city of South Korea roaring with brilliant history and dynamic modern culture.
A must go. The views are so worth. Visibility was 20-25km the day we visited, a clear day or maybe even a snowy day for a second visit would be my preference. Sky bridge anyone?? But really. Lol. There are 5 floors overall for the observation deck, 2 main floors with the lounge being at the top. Use an elevator on F121 to reach it. While visiting the Sky Lounge for snacks or drinks is nice, we didn’t care for the main entrees. There is better food in the tower. Lots of photo zone opportunities that you can purchase. There was a lot of glare when trying to take photos, so be prepared for that. Parking is ample at Lotte Tower or Mall. You can get a discount for parking if you show your receipt for the tower upon leaving if you parked near the tower. Seoul Sky entry is on Floor B1. We bought the Lotte Aquarium/Seoul Sky combo tickets for just under 80k KWN for both of us (a promotional event I think). We were able to go visit the aquarium and shop after lunch time and then go back to Seoul Sky whenever we wanted (we chose to catch sunset at the observation deck). Once you enter the observation deck you cannot re enter if you leave but there is no time limit.
