Namsan Seoul Tower

One great place you need to visit is Namsan Seoul Tower located almost in the middle of Seoul. There are multiple entrances and ways you can get to the tower but the cheapest is to bus nearby and walk. Some paths are a hike as you are going uphill and will possibly be in a forest so it takes about 30 minutes. You could also take the quicker and fairly scenic route using the cable car for 14,000 won. I know for a fact that there is a bus that takes you down the mountain as well so there might be that option for going up. Once you get to the top the view is great depending on the air quality and time of day and makes a great place for taking pictures. At the top there is somewhat of a tradition/must do where you can attach a lock to the railing similar to places in France and Seattle. If you don't have a lock, they have a vending machine that offers choices and the gift store sells some options as well. Also, there are many shops in the tower including an arcade, a massage chair area, a milk tea shop, and a convenience store. If you wanted, you could pay a fee to take an elevator to the very top of the tower where they have a restaurant. Looking back at the tower during the night is amazing because of the massive amounts of changing lights on every floor making it have a very neat aesthetic.
