Lotte World Tower
Another trip, another tower with an observation deck. Seoul is a vast city spread across more than 600 square kilometers (or 234 square miles for us Americans) so naturally a view from above felt like a great way to get my bearings. Lotte’s jewel, which would easily fit in among Dubai’s modern skyline, looks oval in nature at the base, but tapers to a circle at the top.
That observation deck, known as Seoul Sky, had a few floors worth of panoramic views, and two outdoor decks. The most interesting space for me was the glass floor viewing area. Many towers have this feature, but somehow they still add an element of fun to the mix, bringing out the emotions of the visitors both young and old. While this building is the tallest in South Korea, its namesake Lotte doesn’t actually operate their headquarters here. The naming better aligns with the theme park situated just across the street, South Korea’s answer to Disney. For me, as a lover of Koala’s March, it was a nice way to get a small step closer to the brand and the city of Seoul. Enjoy the photos, and check it out for yourself if you get the chance.
