Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Late afternoon is the ideal time to visit, allowing you to experience the city in bright daylight, enjoy a spectacular sunset, and witness Seoul transform into a sparkling sea of night lights. Weekdays are highly recommended to avoid the massive weekend crowds at both the observatory and the duty-free shops.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Press your camera lens directly against the glass windows to minimize glare and reflections from the indoor lighting.

• Capture a dramatic ultra-wide shot on the glass-bottom Sky Deck by placing your camera on the floor pointing slightly upwards.

• Use the 'golden hour' just before sunset to photograph the Han River reflecting the warm, vibrant colors of the sky.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

While the observatory has a modern, international atmosphere, it is polite to maintain a moderate noise level and wait your turn patiently at popular photo spots like the Sky Deck. When receiving your duty-free items or interacting with retail staff, a slight bow of the head and receiving items with both hands shows great respect in Korean culture.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

• During the Seoul International Fireworks Festival in autumn, the tower offers one of the most coveted, unobstructed vantage points in the city.

• Winter brings spectacular holiday illuminations and festive media facades to the exterior of the Lotte World Tower.

• Springtime visits reward you with a unique, bird's-eye view of the cherry blossoms blooming around Seokchon Lake right below the tower.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

• Follow all staff instructions, especially on the outdoor Sky Terrace where wind speeds can be high.

• Hold onto the handrails when navigating the escalators between the multi-level observation floors.

• Keep an eye on your belongings in the busy Lotte Duty-Free areas, as it can get quite crowded with international shoppers.
