The round-trip ticket costs ₩8500 for adults and ₩5500 for children and senior citizens whereas the one-way ticket costs ₩6000 for adults and ₩3500 for children and senior citizens.
If you're planning to go up to N Seoul Tower to watch the sunset/ night view, be sure to be there early as the queue can get really long in the evening especially during the weekends/ holidays.

Tons of love locks everywhere, I wonder how many couples among them broke up

From the second observatory desk (roof terrace)-

The levels of N Seoul Tower, taken from this website.
Lobby- Entrance to observatory, information desk, Alive Museum, N Gift, N Sweet Bar, cafe
Plaza 1F - The Best Burger in Seoul, N Terrace, N Gift, ticket booth, Food O'clock
Plaza 2F - The Place Dining (Italian restaurant), roof terrace
Tower 1F - Hancook (Korean Restaurant)
Tower 2F - The Wishing Pond, Sky Restroom, Sky Coffee, N Photo Studio
Tower 3F - Observatory, The BA:NG (Gift shop), Weenybeeny, N Photo
Tower 5F - N Grill (French restaurant)


Basically the lobby and plaza levels are accessible by everyone, whereas for the tower floors, you need to pay ₩10000 to go up or make a reservation at the restaurants prior visiting the tower. It was dad's birthday on that day and we were actually considering to have dinner at N Grill, but after looking at the menu... ok maybe not. The cheapest dish costs around RM300 lololol might as well go back to Myeongdong for shopping. And fyi, it was the place where one of the scenes of My Love From The Stars was filmed! The place where Cheon Song Yi was alone after Do Min Joon disappeared (but he appeared for a few seconds). I remember KhunToria WGM also placed a love lock here.

We did not go up because it'll cost hundreds for the whole family. However, you can purchase the N Seoul Tower Observatory Ticket from Trazy at a discounted price! If hiking is your thing (and you're not travelling in the winter), you can opt for this Namsan Park & N Seoul Tower Evening Hiking Tour as well :)

 The entrance to the tower floors is behind the glass in the photos below.

We stayed at the place for around 2 hours and headed to our next destination, Dongdaemun Design Plaza (동대문디자인플라자) to visit the LED Rose Garden! It's an exhibition that displays 25500 LED roses from 18 April 2015 to 29 February 2016 at the rooftop grass garden area of DDP. The admission is free and DDP closes on Mondays.
