Great views of the city along the city walls
Jan 2021
This was a great alternative to taking the Namsan Cable Car. We enjoyed walking along the Seoul City Walls while checking out the great view of the city. Museum and displays along the way made it a worthwhile visit.

This park was one of Seoul's landmark. This park had cable car, tower and good trail. The road to top was well-managed and not steep, and had Seoul view with various angles. This park was located Seoul's center, and had various attraction around this park. Well managed and good park.

A Beautiful Walk
Nov 2020
I love walking up Namsan. In the different seasons you can see all the beautiful scenery and nature changing. It is nice to go here and hike up as it is a long walk but it isn't too strenuous. The surrounding cafes and eateries often have amazing views. You don't even need to go up the tower to see incredible panoramas of Seoul. I would highly recommend it, especially as a free thing to do here.

Excellent View of the City from the Top
Jun 2019
This is a popular place with the locals, especially friends and couples as proven by the number of love locks there. There are restaurants and cafe up there and also instant photo taking machines. You can choose to climb all the way up or go up by foot. I choose the easier way and went up by cable car. Good place to have a meal and enjoy the views.

Nice view of the city
Jan 2020
It helped that we went here on the first day so you can get to see Seoul and get your bearings. It is a huge city so it helps to see where everything from a bird's eye view. We were lucky that there was a cultural show as well at the bottom so that was enjoyable for the whole family to watch.

Long climb but worth it
Oct 2019
During October - Autumn I climbed to the top. Lot of stairs but great views during the way up. Do bring some water. The view on the top is almost 360 and you get a much better impression of the city. Took the cable cart down and walked through another park which has a part of the Seoul City Wall.

Great views for miles
Jan 2020
I took the cable-car up & down the mountain (only a few minutes each way) and also went up the tower to the observation deck. You get great views from the tower or the platforms. It's about 10000 WON for the return cable car trip, and the same for the elevator up & down the tower.
The views were great, with about a 10-15km clear view.

Worth the climb!
Dec 2019
Namsan Park boasts an incredibly romantic view of the sunset! The Seoul cityscape view from the decks, whether it's during daytime or nighttime, is quite breathtaking. From the top there are a few shops that sell love locks where you can write your lover's and your name, find a nice spot to place it, and throw away the key. It's really popular with the youngsters who seem to frequent the area, but I've spotted some older couples as well.

From the bottom of the tower you can find N Burger and a small cafe that sells some really great matcha lattes! It can get extremely cold during the winter because of the high altitude, so be sure to purchase some extra heat packs and bundle up with scarves!

Great view of the city
Dec 2019 • Family
Took bus #6011 from Namdaemun Market bus stop. It is the last stop.

Love the view of the city. Recommend to go up around 5pm to catch the sunset and stay on till night for night view.

Bought churros but pricey as it is tourist place anyway.

It is very cold as night falls so make sure you wear winter clothes when visiting during winter.
