An iconic communications tower perched atop Namsan Mountain offering sweeping 360-degree views of Seoul's sprawling cityscape. Take the cable car up or hike the forested trail for a more rewarding approach. The observation deck is genuinely impressive at night when the city lights up. Weekends and evenings get very crowded, so aim for a weekday morning visit.
