By MOOK Travel Editorial Team

With the global wave of Korean pop culture, the number of tourists visiting South Korea has been steadily increasing. Recently, a new highlight has been added to Seoul’s tourist attractions—the world’s third tallest observation deck, SEOUL SKY, officially opened on March 22. Located on the 117th to 123rd floors of the Lotte World Tower, South Korea’s tallest skyscraper, SEOUL SKY is an observation deck designed around the concept of “the beauty and confidence of Korea.”

Prior to its opening, SEOUL SKY had already generated buzz for being listed in three Guinness World Records. The SKY DECK on the 118th floor is recognized as the “world’s highest glass-floor observation deck,” while the high-speed elevator, traveling at speeds up to 600 meters per minute, holds two records: the “world’s longest travel distance” and the “world’s fastest double-deck elevator.”

Visitors can purchase tickets on the first or second basement level of the Lotte World Tower and take the elevator up to SEOUL SKY. From the observation deck, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the entire city of Seoul, and on clear days, even catch sight of Incheon’s Songdo and the western coastline. For travelers wanting to get a bird’s-eye view of Seoul, besides Namsan Tower, consider visiting SEOUL SKY to experience the pinnacle of South Korea’s tallest building.
