The name of the most magnificent landmark which is viewable from almost anywhere in the city is Seoul Tower, Seoul. Reaching to 480 meters above sea level, this excellent landmark was constructed on a 262 meter peak in Namsan Park. It is the mostly viewed sightseeing spot in Seoul. When the climate and pollution levels lend a hand, watching the observation tower allows you to notice the total city and nearby areas. Because of the panorama, many local dwellers as well as tourists enjoy climbing up here for early morning work out or for a quixotic walk after dark. For this reason, the place is so famous. The complex in which Seoul Tower exists also contains more than a few other attractions for tourists. Quite a few exhibit halls exhibit films of old Seoul, local birds, and towers from other countries.
