Hiking Option
For a free experience, you can hike the Namsan Park trails to the base of the tower (approx. 45 mins).
Love Locks
If you plan to hang a lock, bring your own or be prepared to pay a premium at the gift shop.
The Toilet View
The "Sky Restroom" in the tower is famous for its floor-to-ceiling glass views - it's worth a visit!
