Namsan Tower is one of the must-visit attractions in Seoul, and it is also suitable for watching the sunset. But please note that the current plan does not include cable car tickets, so don’t go to the store to pick up cable car tickets!

With the yen's depreciation, this voucher is really appreciated 🥺✨ Some Olive Young staff don't know about this voucher, so it might be a good idea to ask if you can use it once before purchasing! I want to buy it again!!

I thought it would be an open-air observation deck! As a result, they were all enclosed with glass, so it was a bit of a shame that there were reflections when taking pictures, but the weather was pretty good that day! The view is pretty good.

There is a Klook machine at the west entrance of Lotte outlet where you can pick up your card. It also gives you coupons for Lotte outlet, which is great for shopping.
