- Taehyung JeonSeoul, South Korea56 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
- MissHDCLondon, United Kingdom252 contributionsSkybridge walk, great fun!We visited the tower tondo the skybridge walk. It was great fun. We bought tickets on the day in the early afternoon. We pretty much went straight to the bridge but en route saw some art installations / light show. The biedge tour was great. You got a boiler suit, a harness, a helmet, a pouch to put your phone in - to clip to yourself. Each group has a max of 12 people. I think there was only 8 in ours. When you access the outside area, there are a few flights of stairs to walk up. You are however clipped in via your harness to a rail that goes up the stairs. In your pair/personal group , they allow you to go onto the bridge and take photos of you. The after, your whole group you all stand on the bridge and chill our enjoying the view. The bridge is metal but he cente of the bridge is clear perplex This may have been the most expensive activity we did in South Korea but it was worth it It was a great experience.Visited April 2024Traveled with friendsWritten April 26, 2024
- TIersHasieSydney, Australia1,010 contributionsHeaps better than the N Tower!!!Compared to the N Tower this was sooo much better. I recommend this as an alternative if you have the time. The price is similar and better, and I think is the 6th tallest building in the world. The elevator is fast but on a busy day the wait could be a whiles. There are outdoor areas facing both sides of the tower compared to some other towers which are indoors only or you have to pay extra to go outside at that height. There are cafes on the upper floor and the premium lounge is on the top floor (affordable meals in my opinion but expensive drinks!) Fun clear glass floors in some sections too to appreciate the hight you are at. Be warned once you get to the upper floors you have to wait a long time for I think just a single lift to go back to the floors to descend the ground. For a bit extra you can do the sky experience.Visited January 2024Traveled soloWritten July 16, 2024
- mikiss528Vernon Hills, Illinois45 contributionsGreat place for the familyShopping, Attraction, and Restaurants in one place with a variety of selections. If you want to spend a day with your family. This can be a good option to visit. Aquarium, Amusement park, observation deck, and many other activities will make you enjoyable. Low to luxury brands are available for shopping and a separate Duty Free store is another option. An affordable parking lot is a bonus.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 19, 2024

It is a great view of Seoul and the Han River. The tower provides a nice cap to a day at Lotte World adventure park. Get the Combo ticket: About 72,000 won.

- Stad D4 contributionsA trip to the Lotte World Tower and Mall is worthwhile.Not because of the mall, which is lovely but pretty much like any other upscale mall. Go up the tower instead. It's definitely an experience, but it's not inexpensive. For example, they include a glass floor that offers an unsettling view straight down. But also a breathtaking perspective of Seoul.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 20, 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.

One of the main attractions of this family trip to Korea is the entire complex of "Lotte World". After the morning activities, we took the tour bus and took us to the underground parking lot of "Lotte World". The first attraction to visit is the 123-story Lotte World Tower. Our first stop was to climb a high-rise building to get a bird's eye view of the beautiful scenery of Seoul.
There are only two high-speed lifts to the observation floor. Even if we were a group of tourists who arrived early, we would have to queue up to get snake cakes. When we timed it, the queue from the entrance of the mall to this racing-themed waiting area took half an hour. And we stayed in this area, constantly hearing and watching sports cars flying overhead, for almost half an hour. According to the tour guide, the meaning of this sports car is that the lift everyone is going to ride will be as fast as a sports car.
Finally, we got to the "Cheli" exit. We took this high-speed elevator and went up to the observation deck on the 117th floor. It takes about 5 minutes to go up from the B2 floor to the 117th floor.
We arrived at the 117th floor first. As soon as I came out and looked out the glass window, I had an unobstructed view of the entire Seoul. Of course, this is not the most exciting part of this observation deck, so no one comes.
After passing through the gift shop floor and coffee shop floor, we reached the 120th floor. As the saying goes, "If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to the next level." When you come here, you can see Seoul from the outdoor space one more time, and the scenery will be completely different.
However, the most popular observation deck is on the 118th floor. Because, at certain angles on the 118th floor, there are glass-bottomed viewing spots. To do it, you really need to have some courage. When I took this photo, I looked straight at the bottom and was really surprised.

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.

I enjoyed this park even though I went on a day when a tropical storm was passing through. The entertainment was good, the food reasonable. Some rides had some really long lines like The French Revolution (3 hours cue). Some rides I could not ride because of the restraints being to small for my large frame. but most I could ride.

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.

Lotte is the tallest tower in Asia and until the construction of the Dubai Tower it was the tallest tower in the world. It offers you 555 m in height and unlike the Sky Crapers in New York or London, access is much cheaper so don't hesitate to visit the Lotte Tower, its only negative point and being quite far from the center of Seoul, it will take you about an hour by metro to reach it. Once there you access it through the basement of the mall then the monkfish offers you a real show to reach its highest point. The height being very important the visibility is not very very good, there is in Seoul what we call a silky Cloud it is a kind of paleness which blurs the visibility, you will still have extraordinary views, For me, monkfish is a must-do. In the area there is not much to do, the mall itself only offers luxury brands at exorbitant prices, that being said you can go for a look, it is magnificent.

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.

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.

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).
