About

N Seoul Tower is the nation's first comprehensive radio tower, combining the functions of efficient broadcasting transmission and reception with a tourist observatory facility that highlights Korea's traditional beauty. It was built for the future of broadcasting culture and the tourism industry. Just as famous comprehensive towers around the world have become symbolic presences of their countries or cities, N Seoul Tower has also served as a representative tourist destination of the Republic of Korea and a symbol of Seoul for the past 40-plus years.

Due to the tower's height, which can be seen from all areas of Seoul, and its unique structure and shape, N Seoul Tower has become an object of interest and love from citizens and has firmly established its position as the number one tourist attraction favored by locals and foreigners alike. Recently, as it has gained a high reputation as a filming location for various entertainment shows and dramas that brought the Korean Wave, it is a place where local and foreign tourists constantly visit.
