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!

It was very good experience for exploring Seoul's sights. Audio explanation about these sights was good addition to our traveling :) Thank you!

It is a must to be claimed, given that it is free for tourists like us. Especially when you are just near Myeong-dong

I was lucky enough to stay in a triple room for 2,000 yuan a night. The room was very comfortable and you could take a bath. It was a ten-minute walk from Myeongdong, very convenient and the CP value was very high.

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.
