You have been to Namsan Tower, Lotte Tower, and 63 Building and got bored of these places but not of the view?
In this blog post, I want to show you three hidden places that offer a great view over Seoul’s skyline.
And the best thing is: they are all for free!
1. Sesangui Modeun Achim
This beautiful restaurant is located on the 50th floor in Yeouido directly next to a wedding hall.
During my visit, I even got a sneak peek of a Korean wedding there.
This restaurant is perfect for having brunch and at the same time having a great view all over Yeouido and the Han River.
The restaurant is a bit on the pricy side but in my opinion, it is definitely worth the visit!
2. Lotte Tower (31st Floor)
Yes, I know that I said in the description that it wouldn’t include the Lotte Tower haha.
But when people think about the Lotte Tower, they always think about Seoul Sky and the tickets for Seoul Sky are not that cheap.
This location is free of charge and is not known by many people.
So you can skip the crowd + the expensive price.
Doesn’t that sound great?
To go there you have to go to the reception on the ground floor on the right of the entrance of the Lotte Tower building.
Tell the employee that you want to visit the 31st floor (the food court).
Then you will get a card to enter the elevator.
Usually, you have to give the employee your phone number in case you should forget to return the card after your visit.
On the 31st floor, you have the choice between many different restaurants.
So it is a great spot during lunch or dinner.
3. Bugak Sky Way
This one has a stunning view but is a bit tricky to reach.
Although Seoul has a very good transportation system this place is not located near any bus stop or subway station.
If you want to go there you either need a car or plan in a 45 minutes walk from the nearest subway station.
It is better to come a bit earlier than sunset because many Koreans love to go there during sunset time and finding a parking lot could be a challenge during that time.
For more ideas and discounted tickets for your stay visit Klook. I personally always use this site when I am in Korea to book nice tours for several attractions.
