N Seoul Tower

N Seoul Tower

N Seoul Tower aka Namsan Seoul Tower is a communication and observation tower located on Namsan Mountain in Korea. At 236 metres, it marks the second highest point in Seoul. I think the tallest tower and at first place is Lotte World Tower.

We ended up having some drinks at A Twosome Place to warm up and enjoyed some strawberries the girls brought, while checking out the night view of Seoul.

Just some advice, wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket or wear thicker clothes to keep warm when visiting, it can be cold up there because N Seoul Tower is on a higher altitude compared to the rest of Seoul. It was and can get even colder with the wind and it was also a challenge for us going downhill.
