What is the Namsan Seoul Tower?
Also known as N Seoul Tower, Namsan Tower, YTN Seoul Tower, or Seoul Tower. It is a communications tower that was built in 1969. It is the first wave tower that provides media broadcasting in Seoul.
Nowadays, it is broadcasting signals from different South Korean media outlets such like:
- KBS – Korean Broadcasting System
- MBC – Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation
- SBS – Seoul Broadcasting System
The Namsan Seoul Tower for me is South Korea’s Eiffel Tower. It is also one of the things that Korea is known for and is basically an all-time favorite attraction for both South Korean / Seoul citizens and foreigners to visit.

What is the best season to visit the N Seoul Tower?
South Korea has 4 seasons, and if the YTN Seoul Tower is included in one of your bucket lists to visit, it is best to know the months and what to expect per season.
The tower is open in any season so don’t worry about it closing except during holidays, and natural calamities.
Spring
If pink cherry blossoms are your thing, then plan your trip for April – June, as these are the months when the Korean spring starts. Enjoy the beautiful aesthetic and fresh feel of the blossoms. This season is also where the crowds are kind of moderate.
Summer
Korean summer months are from July – August. Expect the start of the monsoon where rainfalls are rampant. Visitors might be less during this unpredictable season, but you won’t enjoy visiting it. However, you can still visit it if you just want to have a glimpse of it.
Summer is also the busiest season in South Korea.
Autumn
If you want an orange, cold, and dramatic feel, then autumn might be for you (personally, I would go to this season). The green and orange combination gives a very peaceful vibe to your visit. The peak of this season is from October to November.
Korean autumn months are from September – November.
Winter
Everyone has a love and hate relationship with winter. This Korean winter happens from December – March. Dominantly, people and citizens like the cold season so I suggest that you either go there very early or when it is closing time as there will be a lot of people, both foreigners, and natives, that will visit the tower.
Winter is where Christmas and New Year are happening, so expect transport fares to increase and also a lot of people.
Conclusion
The best time to visit the N Seoul Tower would be spring or autumn. No one is stopping you from visiting it during the busy and rainy season which is summer, or the cold, and overcrowded season which is winter. This is merely just a guide for your trip there and I hope you got to decide when to visit it.
