Namsan Oreaumi Elevator

We walked from the Myeongdong Metro Station up the slope to the cable car base station at the bottom of the hill. The cable car ride to the Tower was a great view of Seoul when you are riding up and down.

Another highlight of N Seoul Tower is the fantastic lights that are lit up at night. There are many “lights” installed on the tower. When the wind blows, the lights will dance with it, and you can enjoy it under the tower. The lights on the launch tower, observation deck, tower body, and the square floor at the bottom of the tower are different, and the colors and styles will change at any time with the seasons and weather. It can be said that N Seoul Tower is more attractive at night than during the day.
