Located on the 13th floor of Seosomun Building of Seoul City Hall, Jeongdong Observation Deck is a popular spot among young people recently because it shows another unique view of Seoul. This observatory was formerly used as a storage room for equipment, but has since been converted into an observatory that is open to the public and visitors free of charge since 2013.

What makes this observatory special is that here visitors can admire the beauty of Seoul through three different faces. When looking in the direction of Deoksugung Palace (one of the most beautiful remaining ancient palaces of Seoul capital), visitors will feel the traditional beauty of Seoul, an ancient Korea when looking at the whole palace. electricity, a different perspective than when visiting the palace from the ground. Along with the historical values, visitors can also feel the breath of Seoul's modern life when the city has made remarkable developments in all aspects. Covering the traditional palace is a modern Korea, with cultural integration and interference with an open view to the cathedral, built in Roman architecture under the Korean church. If the palace is representative of the past and history, and the church represents the present and development of Korea, then the view towards the tall buildings right in the heart of the city is represents the future and hope for the potential of the land of kimchi.

When coming here, visitors can choose to sip a hot cup of coffee at Darak cafe by the glass window overlooking the city. Autumn and winter are the ideal times to see the city and the palace because these two seasons are when visitors can admire the beauty of Seoul. Autumn has the beauty of the trees that change from fresh green to yellow, mute, warm red, gently falling with the remaining warm breaths of the sun before winter. Meanwhile, winter has mixed emotions of joy and sadness: a glorious and busy winter when it is Christmas season to prepare for the new year, but also a little lonely and cold of the cold. snowy day.

The observatory is open every day of the week, from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 9am. On Saturdays and public holidays the observatory will close at 6pm.
