Nanshan Cable Car

The iconic N Seoul Tower in the middle of Seoul can be reached by bus or walking but for families, taking the cable car up will be the most enticing option. Kids will enjoy the thrill of slowly making one's way up to the tower in the gondola while older members of the family will enjoy the views of the city it offers.

Красивый вид на гору, правда, придётся постоять в очереди. Лучше в гору пойти пешком, а спуститься уже на канатной дорожке. Если не жалко 4000 вон и 25 минут ожидания в очереди:)

I loved the ride up to namsan tower.

Great short ride up to N Seoul Tower

The main reason to ride Namsan Cable car is to get up the mountain faster. It doesn't offer any additional views that you couldn't get from walking up yourself, especially since, more often than not, the car is packed with so many people, all clamoring for a spot by the window. A claustrophic's nightmare! But if you're with family, young or old folks who can't manage the walk, or dressed up nice for the restaurant, it's definitely worth it. Myeongdong, exit 3, or better yet just tell your cab driver -- even in English, they all know this one.

If you don't feel up to the hike to Seoul Tower (it's about 20-30 minutes of steps), or just want an easy panorama of the buildings and mountains of the city center, the Namsan Cable Car is the perfect solution. Zipping to the top in just a couple of minutes, it affords a lovely panorama, and if it isn't about to change your life, it's also easy on the wallet. (7,500 won roundtrip, a five-minute walk uphill from Myeongdong Station exit 3)

Do it once (take it up to the tower or take it down). Its not too exciting anf there are cheaper public buses that can get you up and down the mountain.

Always, it is beautiful city night view from the hill top

I went up the cable car with my boyfriend's parents. There's a nice view from it. If I was going to go up Namsan again I would save myself the line and take a bus, probably. But still, a decent thing to do once.

Crowded. Takes away from experience. Just a means a transport to Namsan from Myeongdong. 6000KRW one way, 8500 round trip. If u get stuck in middle cannot see the view unless u r very tall as they pack u in like sardines. LONG LONG QUEUE just to get on.
