We had friends in town and a beautiful clear day so we decided to check one off the bucket list and visit Seoul Sky at Lotte World Tower. It is currently the 5th tallest building in the world and what a view. We were able to grab foreigner only tickets from Klook which helps to skip some of the lines.
About a 1 minute elevator ride and you are 123 Floors into the sky. It is a smooth ride and the only indication of your rising speed is your plugged ears. That first glimpse is a wow moment. There is nothing like seeing the city from that view. With over 9 million people, you get to see the vastness of Seoul and how the Han River splits the city in half. N Seoul Tower sits in the distance looking like a toothpick. It is a beautiful site.
They also have a clear viewing deck, so you can walk out and see straight down. This definitely gave a few of us the tingles. To complete the experience, we pit stopped at the freshly made, high in the sky Mochi cafe. We all agreed the chocolate strawberry was the best. Then it was a few more views before we headed back down.
I’m glad we made our way to Lotte World Tower, it is rare with get a free Sunday and great weather. Getting to play tourist in your own City when you have visitors is so much fun. We all get to see something together for the first time. Our bucket list for Seoul is still plenty long, but we are making our way.
Check out some of the Seoul destinations we have already visited here: Gyeongbokgung Palace, Korean amusement parks and Nami Island. While there are many Seoul attractions still on the list, we hope to make visits to these further Korean destinations as well: the Beach, Busan and possibly Jeju Island.
