    Great views on a clear night
    We took the metro twice to go up into the tower but the first night it had rained and visibility was only 3 miles. We returned 2 days later on a clear night and it was beautiful. You could see everything from the top. The elevator is so quick, less than a minute and you have 4 floors on the top with restaurants and shops. The way back you had to wait a while longer than the way up.

    A high point of my visit to Seoul
    This is one of the tallest buildings in the world. We visited on a cloudy day but we still had fantastic views. Initially I was slightly nervous at walking on the glass floor, hundreds of metres above the ground, but it was worth it.

    A highlight of our trip
    We went for our visit after dark and wowzers! The view was incredible. Just can’t capture it on a camera; all we could do was to keep staring at the magnificence of it whilst sipping delicious cocktails. A highlight of our trip. Would definitely recommend.

    Good view as a bird
    There was a long Q, but for the group tour, the guide can find quick way. Entrance is exciting with video installatin of car race. Said to be able to see Mongolia fro above, but I cannot see. Very high and can view the whole region. Suvinior shop is there.

    Worth Your Time
    Incredibly smooth ride up 117 floors to multiple observation decks, including one with a “glass” floor. Great 360 views of Seoul. Well organized and timed so the observation decks weren’t crowded and you could stay as long as you wanted. The mall was busy but so spacious it didn’t feel crowded either Plenty of places to eat and shop!

    Experience of dizzying beauty!
    Lotte World Tower is the tallest building in the nation and the fifth tallest building in the world. The observatory is located on floors 117-123 of the tower and offers a panoramic view of the entire capital, which is beautiful both day and night. SEOUL SKY consists of an exhibition area, an observation deck, a viewing terrace, a dessert bar, a lounge and more. To get to Seoul Sky, visitors must take the Sky Shuttle, a double-decker elevator that reaches speeds of 600 meters per minute!

    What a view!
    The 555m tall Seoul world tower is the best way to get a 360 degree view of Seoul. We had purchased tickets online, and we breezed through the entry by scanning the QR code. The elevator was covered in LED screens inside, and there were three levels of windows at the top so no one was fighting for window space. You must try the glass floor area too, it's a thrilling and scary experience.

    Great views! Long lines. Allocate the time.
    Great views. It costs 29,000KRW. You’ll likely spend 10-15 minutes looking at the Seoul megalopolis. You will have spent 15 mins to 1+ hr in line before riding the elevator up. To get down, you must go from floor 117 up to floor 120 (where the restaurant, bar, stores are) where you will wait in line again. Again, the views are impressive. Just make sure you allocate the time!

    Just another mega mall
    It is easy to get to Lotte World Tower as there is a subway station just underneath the site. But the cluster of buildings which are all interconnected at this area can be confusing. There are two mega malls which have very similar names but they are as different as day and night. First there is the Lotte World which is a huge indoor and outdoor amusement park and it’s own attached mall. Then there is the Lotte World Tower which itself is a huge high end mall, duty free outlet and has the Seoul Sky attraction. Each mall is targeting very different type of tourists. The thrill seekers will likely prefer Lotte World while those wanting to take things slow and enjoy the view of the city will prefer Lotte World Tower. Similarly, those seeking a bargain and general shopping would prefer Lotte World’s mall. While those with deep pocket and a love for all things luxurious should love Lotte World Tower, its filled with floors of foreign and local luxury branded goods. This is quite a nice place to explore if the weather is bad as there are plenty to see and do. But at the end of the day it’s still just a typical mega mall, the same in many parts of the world. With so many other attractions in Seoul, would be a waste to spend too much time here.

If you are in Seoul you must visit the Tower for awesome views of the city and if brave enough to walk on the glass floor. The shopping centre is also awesome with lots of Branded stores and Restaurants

We went on a group tour. The group tour did enjoy special allocation during the queue time for the elevators. Avoid peak time to visit.
After exiting on L117 take your time to go up to L123, level by level using the elevators. The lifts are super, hardly any jerks or discomfort.
The view is fantastic on a clear day. You see concrete buildings all round. The Han river is a sight to behold. The keen eyes can spot your favourite places,including the airport reserved for the real VIPs,including the US President.
There are good photo spots and a piano on one of the upper levels. Good cafe stops are also on the upper levels.
The shopping mall on ground level is huge.
You can allocate one hour for the Tower and another hour for the shopping mall.
