This building used to be the highest in SEOUL but today it has become number 7 in Korea. Nice Golden building that you can spot from far. It is closed temporarily for renovation work. Expect to open next year, 2026. But restaurants at level 57, 58 and 59 are open. You can dine in and enjoy the view either at the Chinese, Japanese or Western restaurants. All three has great view of Seoul, Hangang ...

The museum itself was sleek and fun, with temporary exhibitions - in our case, it was a Max Dalton exhibition, which was pretty cool.

It was a nice place to visit, with a great gallery however limited places to enjoy the view when you go up and also a lot of people in aquarium, expect loads of small children. Cafe on top of tower didn't have much to offer and all tables were taken. Still worth to go, especially on sunny day!

The observatory offers some great views from Seoul from the southern part of the city. However, even though the views were great, one of my favorite parts was the art exhibit at the observatory. It is just a great space to appreciate some very interesting pieces. There is also a nice coffee place that where you can relax to take on the views.
