- UKtraveller054Aberdeen, United Kingdom168 contributionsA high point of my visit to SeoulThis 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.Visited November 2022Traveled with friendsWritten April 15, 2023
- Andrea S2 contributionsA highlight of our tripWe 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.Visited April 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten May 4, 2023
- chit soeYangon Region, Myanmar788 contributionsGood view as a birdThere 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.Visited June 2023Traveled with friendsWritten June 12, 2023
- Susan S6 contributionsWorth Your TimeIncredibly 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!Visited July 2023Traveled with familyWritten July 15, 2023
- Cristina4 contributionsExperience 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!Visited August 2023Traveled with friendsWritten August 27, 2023
- Shivam BAgra, India19 contributionsWhat 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.Visited August 2023Traveled with friendsWritten September 30, 2023
- Taehyung JeonSeoul, South Korea22 contributionsNice shops and view from the windowsShops were good, view was epic, and it wasn't overly expensive for once! Its always nice coming every week to see whats new as there's always something happening. If you've been experiencing transport issues to get there as of right now its because they blocked a road.Visited January 2024Traveled with familyWritten January 15, 2024

The night view was average. There were probably too many people.
It was like queuing for an amusement ride. Went through two rooms before getting on the elevator. Bring a paper fan with you.
There were two small balconies for viewing outdoor. The logistics needs improvement - people going in and put were mixed together in a small glass room.

Don’t bother going.
The view? Spectacular.
The elevator ride? Quite fun.
The rest? AWFUL.
It’s 90 degrees and they can’t even bother to turn on the AC properly? At more than $20 (27,000 won) per ticket, you’d think they’d at least provide that basic level of a service. Even though we went in the evening, it was so crowded without proper ventilation I felt dizzy.
The local 7-11 has better AC than this.
If you’re traveling with children or the elderly, seriously reconsider. Go to N Tower instead. This place is way overrated.

We visited the Lotte Tower as it was not far from The Westin where we were staying. There was a constant stream of people going in and out so we were intrigued. The entire place is full of designer shops, as well as the surrounding area. We compared prices and they were similar to what you would pay in Australia. Overall it was a bit of a letdown but interesting to see. Not a great selection for Men.

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.

Incredible views, no doubt. However, zero information about the building. A 2 hour wait in a boiling, non air conditioned room will suck the excitement out of the activity. Nothing to do upstairs and the terrace is totally closed off so it’s not any more interesting than looking from the window.

The Mall itself is huge and impressive, therefore i´d give 4 stars. Together with the tower actually only 2 stars.
Even you buy the ticket in advance there are long waiting cues (over 1,5 hours). Then on top there are just some small cafes (nothing special) and souvenir shops. The view is nice but really not outstanding.
Only good thing there is the short elevator drive and enjoying a cocktail on top.

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!

There are two entry gates in Lotte World Adventure. One inside the Mall, and another outside the mall. We arrived in the Mall about 12 noon June 10, 2019, Monday, and saw 2 groups of less than 10 people in the entry gate inside the mall. We had lunch, and afterwards, at about 1:30pm, we proceeded to the entry gate outside the mall. There was only 1 group of four persons buying tickets for the day. We had to enter via the outside entry gate because we purchased our tickets online the day before though klook, which were cheaper for foreigners (direction video provided in the Lotte World Adventure website).
