Information: Korea Tourism Organization (TourAPI)Located at the highest point of Lotte World Tower, the Seoul Sky Observatory is the highest attraction in Korea. It is a famous landmark where visitors can take in a panoramic 360-degree view of Seoul, the capital city that encapsulates Korea's most brilliant history and dynamic modern culture. The experience at the Observatory is made even more special by breathtaking and thrilling facilities 500 meters above the ground, diverse exhibition content themed around Korean pride, the luxury of enjoying a cup of coffee above the clouds, and various tower-themed souvenirs. You can travel from B1 to the 118th floor in just one minute via the Sky Shuttle; this facility offers an immersive experience featuring the world's first monitor screens installed on the ceiling and three walls. The media tables provide digital content that allows visitors to view not only the current cityscape of Seoul seen from the Observatory but also scenes of the Joseon Dynasty recreated in a 3D environment.
