Seoul's Love Lock Spot: N Seoul Tower - Lock Your Love in the Sky!

If you ask me, "What's the most romantic place in Seoul?" Without hesitation, I would point to the towering N Seoul Tower on Namsan Mountain. Not only is it the most beautiful observation landmark in the heart of Seoul, but it’s also a dreamy sanctuary for couples to "lock their love," making it feel like a real-life K-drama confession scene! 🥰【The Romantic Magic of Love Locks】 On the outdoor platform of N Seoul Tower, I saw countless love locks densely packed like a rainbow wall. Red, pink, gold, and even heart-shaped locks—each one tells a story or holds a wish. Couples write their names, dates, or even love notes on the locks before attaching them to the railings, symbolizing eternal love! 📌 A friendly reminder: You can no longer toss the keys into the valley—love your partner and the planet! Please place the keys in the designated recycling boxes provided on-site. 🌏 🚇【How to Get to the Tower? Follow These Steps】 📍 The most convenient way: 1. Take Subway Line 4 to "Myeong-dong Station" and exit at Exit 3. 2. Walk about 10 minutes to the "Namsan Cable Car Station." 3. Take the cable car up the mountain, then walk another 5–10 minutes to reach N Seoul Tower. 📍 The lazy option: Take the "Namsan Circular Bus (Routes 02, 03, or 05)" directly to the base of the tower—save your energy and enjoy the air conditioning! 🎟️【Ticket Information】 If you’re just here to stroll, take photos, or hang a lock, it’s free! But if you want to go up to the observation deck for the night view, you’ll need to buy a ticket: • 🎫 Adults: ₩16,000 (approximately $12 USD) • 🎫 Teenagers/Children: Around ₩12,000 • 🌇 Recommended time: Visit during sunset to enjoy three different vibes—sunset, twilight, and night view—all with one ticket! 🌳【Nearby Attractions｜From Romantic to Artsy】 1. Namsan Park Trails The trails extending from the base of the tower are perfect for couples to hold hands while walking and soaking up the sun—or snapping selfies along the way! If you visit during cherry blossom season, the entire path is lined with pink blooms, making it unbelievably romantic. 2. Myeong-dong Shopping District After coming down the mountain, head straight to Myeong-dong for some shopping! This area is a paradise for beauty products, street food, and K-pop fan merchandise. Everything you need to buy, eat, or post on social media is concentrated on one street. From face masks and lipsticks to Korean-style clothing, it’s a shopping spree guaranteed to delight your friends! 3. Namsangol Hanok Village For those who love traditional Korean architecture, this is a must-visit. The charming hanok houses will transport you back to the Joseon Dynasty. You can even rent a hanbok for photos, creating a truly immersive experience. 🍡【Namsan Tower + Myeong-dong Food Tour】 Here are my personal favorites—all tried and tested, and so good I wanted to take them home! 🔥 Myeong-dong Street Food Trio • Spicy Rice Cakes (떡볶이): A sweet and spicy combo, paired with fish cake soup for the ultimate duo! • Fried Seaweed Rolls (김말이): Crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside—impossible to stop at just one. • Grilled Octopus Skewers: Bursting with aroma, each bite is a direct hit to your taste buds! 🍲 Recommended Restaurants Near Myeong-dong Station • Sinseon Seolleongtang (신선설농탕): A beloved Korean clear beef bone soup—perfect for recharging after a hike. • Baekje Samgyetang (백제삼계탕): A nourishing and heartwarming dish with a whole chicken stuffed with ginseng and glutinous rice—pure comfort food. • Yoogane Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken (유가네닭갈비): Stir-fried to perfection, paired with rice cakes and cheese for an unbeatable combo! 💡【Love Tips × My Honest Thoughts】 • Want great photos?
