N Seoul Tower, a 236-meter-tall tower located on Namsan Hill in Yongsan-gu, is perhaps the most magnificent nighttime landmark of Seoul. After nightfall, each floor of the tower is lit in a different color. There are observation decks on multiple levels inside the tower, allowing visitors to take in a panoramic view of Seoul at night. Restaurants inside the tower also provide a great place for nightlife lovers to relax.

Hangang River is always illuminated at night. Yeouido Park on Hangang River is a great place for an evening stroll. As you walk around the park, you can see the bridge across the river illuminated in the distance. The lighting in the park also contributes to the romantic atmosphere in the park. If you are lucky enough to come across the night market, remember to buy some snacks there and sit by the riverside to enjoy them.
