Lotte World Tower

The 123-story skyscraper stands out prominently as the flight nears the Seoul metropolitan area.

🏙️

Gangnam District

🏞️

Han River

The wide river winding through the heart of Seoul with its many unique bridge designs.

🗼

N Seoul Tower

The landmark communications tower on Namsan Mountain is often visible just before landing at Gimpo.

Sit on the right for the most iconic views of the Seoul skyline. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Sobaek mountains. During the approach to Gimpo, keep your camera ready for the high-density cityscape along the Han River.
