You get a beautiful view of the city of Seoul and also its surroundings from the observation deck of the Seoul Tower. We were really lucky that we caught a nice, cloudless day with the sun shining down on the city. It is truly breathtaking.

If one ever visited Seoul, they should go up there and take a birds-eye-view of this city. It is wonderful!
