The ideal time to visit Namsan Seoul Tower is during the spring months, from late March to early June. During this season, the weather is pleasantly mild, and you can enjoy the panoramic views without the hindrance of heavy fog or the extreme cold that characterizes the winter months. Moreover, spring in Seoul is celebrated with the vibrant bloom of cherry blossoms and other flowers, providing a breathtaking backdrop for your visit to the tower. The Namsan Park surrounding the tower is especially beautiful during this time, making a stroll around the area a lovely complement to your tower visit.
Alternatively, autumn, particularly from September to November, is another great time for a visit. The temperatures are similarly comfortable, and the clear skies make for excellent sightseeing opportunities. The autumn foliage in Namsan Park during this time is spectacular, with fiery hues of red, orange, and yellow leaves that make for a picturesque experience. During both spring and autumn, it's best to visit either early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds that tend to gather around sunset for the tower's famous nighttime cityscapes. Remember that weekends and public holidays can be particularly busy, so planning a weekday visit might ensure a more relaxed outing.
