Lotte World Tower Tickets

Lotte World Tower tickets on GetYourGuide start at $24.72, and the one listing I found is the Seoul Sky Observatory ticket, rated 4.65 from 604 reviews. Seoul Sky sits on the top floors of a tower that Wikidata gives as 555.7 m tall, with its deck at 486 m. I’d go about an hour before sunset, on a clear day.

There is only one product to compare, so this page is shorter than the ones for decks with a dozen options. The Seoul Sky ticket is the plain admission ticket among Lotte World Tower tickets, not a tour and not a pass, and it is not a ticket for the Lotte World theme park next door. Every price, rating and inclusion comes from the listing, checked in October 2026, as a starting price in US dollars. Where the data is silent, I say so instead of guessing.

Lotte World Tower at a Glance

Wikipedia describes the building as a supertall skyscraper in Sincheon-dong, Songpa District, that is the tallest in South Korea. It opened to the public on April 3, 2017. The numbers behind these Lotte World Tower tickets are below, each with its source.

“The skylight of Seoul Sky was the highest glass floor observatory as of the tower's completion.”

The observatory is not at one level, and the table shows what the sources say about where things are.

What	Detail
Floors	Seoul Sky occupies the top seven levels, 117 to 123, per Wikipedia
Entrance and view floor	Levels 117 and 118, including the glass floor on 118, per Wikipedia
Indoor or open-air	Indoor observation floors; the listing mentions a cafe and a souvenir shop, and I found no open-air terrace in the sources
Address	300 Olympic-ro, Songpa District, Seoul, per Google Maps
Opening hours	10:30 AM to 10 PM Monday to Thursday, to 11 PM Friday to Sunday, per Google Maps
Time to allow	The listing says the ticket is valid for 24 hours; I’d plan 1.5 to 2 hours including the queue

Hours and closures change, so before you buy Lotte World Tower tickets check the official Lotte World Tower site for the date you plan to go.

Lotte World Tower Observation Deck Tickets

The Seoul Sky Observatory ticket is the product behind nearly every search for Lotte World Tower observation deck tickets, and on GetYourGuide it costs $24.72. It is a plain ticket: the listing says it includes admission and nothing else. The description says you ride the Sky Shuttle, a high-speed elevator, to the top in less than a minute, and the top seven floors have viewing decks, a cafe, a souvenir shop and exhibition zones about Korean history and culture.

With 604 reviews at 4.65, it is rated well, and the reviews are specific. One visitor went in the late afternoon and found it still empty, with a quick ride up, while around sunset it got more crowded. Another waited about 20 minutes in line and warned that there is only one exit, so leaving the building also takes about 20 minutes. The listing is tagged skip the line, which I read as a timed entry rather than a guarantee of no queue.

The ticket is non-refundable, according to the listing, so pick the date after you have looked at the forecast. It is valid for 24 hours. I’d book this ticket for any first visit, because it is the only listing I found and it matches what most people want from the tower. The listing does not include the Sky Bridge Tour that Wikipedia describes on the roof, and I could not find that tour as a product.

Lotte World Tower Tickets and Prices

Prices are simple here, because there is one ticket and one price. The $24.72 starting price is per person in US dollars, and the listing does not separate adult and child rates in the data I have, so check the booking page for children. Use the calculator for the total of your group.

What a Lotte World Tower ticket buys is the observatory only. The listing includes admission, and it does not list a guide, a meal, a drink or a lounge. If a cafe visit matters to you, Wikipedia places the Seoul Sky Cafe on level 122, and you pay for it separately. I like this clean structure because the total on these Lotte World Tower tickets is the number you see.

Lotte World Tower Height

People who search for the height are usually deciding whether Lotte World Tower tickets are worth it. Wikidata gives the tower as 555.7 m with 123 floors, and Wikipedia rounds it to 555 metres (1,821 ft) and ranks it the sixth-tallest building in the world. The observation deck is lower, at 486 m according to Wikipedia’s list of public observation decks.

The listing describes the view as 360-degree, and its text rounds the height to 555 metres above the ground. In feet the deck is about 1,594 ft. Wikipedia’s article is not consistent on the exact figure for the top floor, giving 486 m in the infobox and 499 m for the lounge bar on the top floor, so I use the deck figure from the observation deck list.

Lotte World Tower Hours

The hours that matter for Lotte World Tower tickets come from Google Maps for the Seoul Sky place: 10:30 AM to 10 PM from Monday to Thursday, and to 11 PM on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. That makes the last hours of the day workable for sunset and for the lights of the city, which is when I’d choose to use Lotte World Tower tickets.

I could not confirm the last entry time, and the listing gives no operating hours of its own. Seasonal changes and holiday closures are common for observatories, so check the official Seoul Sky site the week you go, and avoid a booking you cannot change, since this one is non-refundable.

Lotte World Tower Restaurants

The listing mentions a cafe at the top, and Wikipedia’s floor table is more specific: the Seoul Sky Cafe and Angel in Us Cafe are on level 122. Lower in the tower, the same table lists the Stay French restaurant and Bicena Korean restaurant on level 81, and a food court on level 31. Those are separate businesses, and the Seoul Sky ticket does not include a meal.

One reviewer’s note is useful: plan plenty of time for the mall, because the observatory entrance is reached through it. Another reviewer reported buying drinks and mochi at the top for very good prices. I’d eat at the mall or the food court after the visit, and use the cafe only for a drink with the view.

Lotte World Tower Tickets Online

Buying Lotte World Tower tickets online is the sensible route here, because the listing is a skip-the-line product and the 24-hour validity gives you room. You choose a date on GetYourGuide and receive a voucher. I’d book at least a day ahead for a weekend, and I’d keep the Lotte World Tower tickets voucher offline on your phone.

Two practical points about Lotte World Tower tickets come from the reviews, and a third is to book early. For Lotte World Tower tickets, the queue before sunset is the long one, with a reviewer reporting about 20 minutes, and the exit is a single path, which can add a similar wait when you leave. If you want an empty deck, a late-afternoon slot worked for the reviewer who went before the crowd arrived.

Lotte World Tower Tickets Klook

I do not compare Klook listings here: the only Lotte World Tower tickets in my data are on GetYourGuide, so I cannot tell you the Klook price or whether it is lower. The Seoul Sky ticket I found is $24.72 with a 4.65 rating. If you have a Klook voucher already, the tower and the observatory floors are the same, and the experience does not change with the seller.

Is Lotte World Tower Safe?

I only answer this from cited facts. Wikipedia has a safety section on the building, and the observatory is a public attraction with a glass floor on level 118. The ticket listing does not mention safety limits, so I cannot tell you about age or health rules. If heights worry you, the glass floor is the part to think about. Check the official site for any rules.

Best Time to Visit Lotte World Tower

Cloud cover decides the view. In the 2025 weather data from Open-Meteo, the clearest month is February at 26% average cloud cover, followed by November at 38%. For Lotte World Tower tickets I’d avoid the cloudiest month, September at 74%, with October close behind at 72% and 14 rainy days. The sunset runs from 17:14 in December to 19:54 in June.

Month	Sunset (Seoul time)	Cloud cover	Sunshine a day	Rainy days
Janclearest	17:36	43%	6.9 h	6
Febclearest	18:10	26%	9.1 h	2
Mar	18:38	52%	8.9 h	9

Oct	17:54	72%	5.7 h	14
Novclearest	17:20	38%	8.3 h	3
Dec	17:14	44%	6.9 h	10

Pick a date, and the planner below shows the sunset and the entry time I would book.

My rule is to arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset, so you spend the queue in daylight and stay for the lights. Because the sunset is as early as 17:14 in winter, the clear months of February and November also give you an easy dinner afterwards. A summer visit works, but July and August bring 11 and 16 rainy days, so keep the plan flexible and remember the ticket cannot be refunded.

What You Can See From Lotte World Tower

From 486 m the horizon is a long way off. The calculator below uses the deck height to show how far you can see.

The view covers the Han River and the surrounding mountains, according to the listing. Distances below are straight-line from the tower, computed from Google Maps coordinates.

N Seoul Tower is 10.96 km (6.81 miles) away and Namsan Mountain Park 10.74 km (6.67 miles). Myeongdong Shopping Street is 11.87 km (7.38 miles) off, and Cheonggyecheon 12.61 km (7.83 miles). Deoksugung Palace is 12.73 km (7.91 miles) away, Bukchon Hanok Village 12.90 km (8.01 miles) and Gwanghwamun Square 12.93 km (8.03 miles). Gyeongbokgung Palace is 13.35 km (8.29 miles) from the tower. These all lie well inside the horizon, though what you can pick out depends on haze.

Lotte World Tower vs Other Observation Decks in Seoul

Seoul Sky is the highest deck in the city, so tickets for the Lotte World Tower come first on a Seoul list, and it is on the east side of the river, so it pairs with a viewpoint on the other side. Ratings and review counts are from Google Maps, and distances are straight-line from the tower.

Deck	Google rating	Reviews	Distance	Cost
Seoul Sky	4.6	6,612	the deck itself	Paid ($24.72 listing)
N Seoul Tower	4.5	68,547	10.96 km (6.81 mi)	Check locally
Namsan Photo Island (South Point)	4.5	398	10.35 km (6.43 mi)	Check locally
Jeongdong Observatory	4.6	126	12.60 km (7.83 mi)	Check locally
Han River Observation Deck	4.5	174	24.73 km (15.36 mi)	Check locally

If you want a second angle, I’d pair Lotte World Tower tickets with a visit to N Seoul Tower, which gives a view of the skyline from a hill at a fraction of the height. The Han River Observation Deck is the farthest at 24.73 km, so I’d leave it for a separate trip.

How I’d Choose

• First visit: the Seoul Sky Observatory ticket at $24.72, because it is rated 4.65 from 604 reviews and is the only deck ticket I found.
• Cheapest of the Lotte World Tower tickets: the same ticket, since it is the only listing, so compare against other viewpoints in the table above.
• Sunset: the same ticket, booked for a slot 45 to 60 minutes before the sunset in the Open-Meteo table.
• No queue: a late-afternoon slot on a weekday, as one reviewer found it empty, rather than a different product.
• Families: the same ticket, with the glass floor on level 118 as the draw; check the booking page for child prices.
• Combo with a tour: I found no combo or tour, so book the Lotte World Tower tickets alone and add the Sky Bridge Tour on the official site if you want it.
