N Seoul Tower and Teddy Bear Museum


The N Seoul Tower houses an observatory overlooking the Seoul city landscape and the Teddy Bear Museum. We got there via the Namsan Cable Car. A round-trip ticket costs KRW8,000 per person.




To go to the cable car station, the closest subway station is Myeongdong Station of Line 4. Go out through Exit 3 and walk towards Pacific Hotel. Turn left at that hotel and walk straight until the road turns left but a stairway is straight ahead. At the top of that stairway is the cable car station.



You can visit either the observatory, the museum or both. We got the observatory+museum package, and it's KRW 14,000 per person. They suggested to visit the Teddy Bear Museum first before heading to the observatory, and so we did.















After the museum, we went to the observatory. The quick elevator ride leads to the actual observatory that features a 360-degree view of Seoul. The glass window shows the directions and distances of different cities around the world.








At the foot of the tower is the Locks of Love, where couples place their own locks as a symbol of their unity. My wife and I weren't able to bring our own locks, but we weren't interested to put some locks anyway. Here are some useful links:
