I took the cable car down with my 3 year old son (we walked up), and we looked forward to the views, but the queues are long, the staff are pretty rude, and you’re rammed in to the cars. It’s pure luck if you’re next to a window with enough room to get your camera out and take a photo. It’s definitely not worth the money (everyone over 3 pays). The walk up was really lovely - even on a warm-ish day in late May. There are also several buses that run you up to the Tower, which I’d definitely recommend over the cable car. I wish we’d walked back down.
You probably see a lot reviews saying packed cable car, can't see much etc. Well cause you expecting it at the wrong place!Not there yet.. The aim getting Namsan Cable Car is to reach at the top, Namsan Tower. And it is fine if you can hardly see the view along the way cause the best view is on the top later! Breathtaking view and have few fav spots for your instagram feed. hehe. Got convenience store, cafe & souvenir shops too upthere. But i suggest you can packed your own sandwich then. save! haha.
Tips: Personally I highly suggest you guys to buy one way ticket. Go for a walk when going down from the top. Another forgetful view and hidden insta spots beside the love locks.LOL. thank me later!
Gone up and down the hill by cable car. They charge a small fee to use it which was all acceptable. We booked a return so we could also get back down. The cabin was not air conditioned and they stuff quite a lot of ppl into the cabin. But it’s only a 3 min ride. We didn’t have to Quere please note this.
Up the hill there are love locks - like the ones in Paris where u can leave a message and then seal it at the fence. Nice idea . You can Bring your pwn lock or buy one locally.
You find the tower, food and drinks nice views over the city and some shows up there.
Well worth the visit!
Definitely recommend!!
First time in this place, and we finally get to see all these padlocks that we see in a lot of k-dramas. Perfect cool weather this time of the year!
Pay 7$ just to be pressed inside the cabin with lots of people after a big line to enter. You can hardly move, forget about taking photos. My advice is to take a bus (see on naver map: 02, 03, 05) to get there, they're going from all main places nearby, it's cheaper and even more comfortable.
