N Seoul Tower stands on top of Namsan, a forested mountain in the middle of Seoul. From its observation deck the whole city spreads out in every direction, ringed by mountains, with the Han River curving through it.

The fences around the tower are covered with thousands of padlocks left by couples as a sign of lasting love. At sunrise the light comes over the eastern mountains and the city below appears out of the morning haze; at sunset the sky behind the river turns orange and the city lights come on beneath you.

A sunrise over N Seoul Tower is a gift for two — from a place where couples have been promising each other forever for years.

The best season

Autumn, from late September to November, brings clear skies and red leaves on Namsan. Spring has cherry blossom; winter mornings are cold and often very clear.

Where to watch

The Namsan walking paths and the tower terrace look over the city in every direction. The Han River bridges look back at the tower on its hill.
