landmark
N Seoul Tower is Seoul's easiest skyline symbol, but it works best as a timed viewpoint and not as the center of the whole day.
Best time: Late afternoon into evening for skyline and city-light contrast.
Crowd level: high
Visit duration: about 90 minutes
Quiet alternative: Treat the tower as a timed skyline moment, not an anchor that deserves hours.
Best from central hotels that keep tower access reasonable without making it a long detour.
