Cruise Boat

If you want to see the beautiful scenery of Seoul from another perspective, taking the Han-Gang River Cruise is the best way to explore Seoul through the waters. This river cruise costs 15,000 Won for the Live Concert Cruise. It is best to take the river cruise at night time because you will be amused of the playful lights of Seoul’s skyscrapers and the beautiful fountain of Banpo Bridge.

Seoul Tower

Teddy Bear Museum

On our first day of stay in South Korea, our first stop was Seoul Tower (also usually called Namsan Tower or N Seoul Tower) and Teddy Bear Museum. Since the place where we stayed in was in Myeongdong, going to Seoul Tower and Teddy Bear Museum was relatively easy. We just walked around the block to get to the entry point of these tourist spots. The entry point involved riding a glass elevator that goes up a rail inclined at about 45-degree angle. The view from the elevator was not that great yet because all you can see is the wide road and buildings nearby.

Elevator to Seoul Tower

When we reached the top, a ticket station to ride a large cable car going to the top can be found. If you don’t want to ride the cable car, you can choose to walk to the top. However, since we were a bit limited in time (our stay in South Korea was just for 3 days), we chose to get the return trip ride of the cable car. It costs 7,500 Won (~Php310) for the return trip ride ticket.
