We went to Seoul Tower during the day. We signed up for this tour because we wanted to enjoy Seoul and Seoul Tower at night (we had signed up for daytime tours before). At night in Seoul, looking at the scenery and people from the window, I felt that everything slowed down because my mind was relaxed. In the Seoul Tower tour, we visited Mapo Bridge, Banpo Bridge, Seongsu Bridge, Gwanghwamun, and Seoul Tower at night. The tour guide asked us to get off at Seoul Tower for 25 minutes. As passengers, we excitedly took pictures of the Seoul Tower that came into view. Isn’t it beautiful?! The last attraction is Cheonggyecheon Stream (opposite the meeting point at Gwanghwamun). Walking in Cheonggyecheon Square during the day and at night has different feelings. It is worth arranging a trip.
