N Seoul Tower at Night View .

Atop Namsan Mountain (262 meters) in the heart of Seoul stands N Seoul Tower (236 meters). Completed in 1969, N Seoul Tower has been Seoul's most visited observation deck for several decades. The tower itself is a major attraction as it is brighly illuminated in the evening. Since 2011, the tower has been lit blue when the dust density in the air is 45㎍/㎥ or lower and white when greater than 45㎍/㎥. To get to N Seoul Tower, start at the Namsan Mountain cable car. After reaching the tower, visit the outdoor terrace and observatory restaurant for a panoramic view and spend some time at the Teddy Bear Museum.

For a truly 360 degree view of Seoul, take the elevator to the observatory. There are several restaurants and cafés on the first through fifth floors. The upscale n•GRILL seems to attract guests celebrating special occasions, while the Korean restaurant HANCooK caters to family visitors. For those who are skipping dining, there is also the observatory café and the second floor (T2), too where simple snacks and beverages are available. Also, don't miss the famous Sky restroom with a view.
