63 Building — Attraction in Seoul

The 63 Building, also known as 63 Square, is an iconic landmark on Seoul’s Yeouido Island, recognized for its striking gold facade and panoramic views over the Han River.

As part of Discover Seoul Pass package, we visited this place and enjoyed the view of Yeoeudo. 63 Art located at 60th floor of this building and has small art studio.

Because it's already high enough and you can have food or drink, I think the restaurant may be the better option for some cases. There are many fancy shops and an aquarium. This building is for everyone.

Enjoyable: 4/5 Design: 4/5 Staffs: 3/5
