Yesterday I went to the Seoul Tower (남산서울타워), a wonderful observatory in Yongsan-gu. Its easy to get to, but beware that automobiles aren't allowed to go up all to the top so there's a little walk you need to make to get to the observatory. I was told there are some nice hiking trails nearby there as well so you could definitely make a day of it!
The Seoul Tower is an observatory in the Namsan Mountains where you can see a wonderful 365 degree view of the entire city - so beautiful! They are open until 10p, and I went there around 5 or 6p so I saw the sunset from the observatory and it was beautiful. There are also little stores, coffee shops, and restaurants to check out.
One of the neat things there that you don't hear much about is some of the romance posts in the N Tower. There are a set of "trees" (metal posts that look like trees from a distance) outside the observatory with locks and messages on the locks about keeping love. In the observatory, you can find tiles where couples put love messages together which is also really sweet.
