N Seoul Tower is the most visited tourist attraction in Seoul close to Myeongdong and Itaewon. Upon it, flourishes what Seoulites call 'The Locks of Love'. Couples hang a lock with a note as a symbol of their love for each other. It's located on Namsan Mountain offering great panoramic views of the city and stands as a symbol of Seoul since it first opened to the public in 1980. The tower has not only been given a new look, but also a new name following a complete makeover.
It is now a popular cultural space with various performances, movies, exhibitions as well as upscale restaurants and snack bars. Topping the list of best sites according to tourists, N Seoul Tower draws an insanely large number of visitors every day.
At the base of N Seoul Tower visitors can find the Media Zone, a Pavilion Experience Hall, exhibition rooms, and performance halls. Visitors are encouraged to try the N Grill western-style restaurant revolving restaurant (one rotation every 48 minutes) and the Sky Restroom (an artfully decorated space). Both offer breathtaking views of the cityscape.
