Before You Book Lotte World Tower Seoul Sky: Every Cost, and What's Worth It
By the BeatTheCrowd team · Prices last checked 2 November · 3 min read
Seoul Sky, at the top of Lotte World Tower, is one of the highest observation decks in the world, with a glass floor 500 m up. There's a standard ticket, a Fast Pass, foreigner discount vouchers, combos and the Sky Bridge Tour across the very top of the tower. Most of them sound worth paying for. You don't need the most expensive one to have a great visit. In this guide we walk through what each option costs, what you really get, and how to choose the right one, whether that's a quiet weekday morning or a busy Saturday evening.

The real total: cheapest ticket vs what most visitors pay
A standard Seoul Sky ticket is about ₩31,000 for an adult, and foreign visitors can often get a discounted voucher from about ₩27,200 through licensed resellers. The Fast Pass doubles the price, and the Sky Bridge Tour, walking across the bridge at the top of the tower, costs about three to four times as much.

A harnessed walk across the bridge at the top, with admission
Bucket list only: 12+, 140 cm+
Under-3s are free. The Sky Bridge Tour costs about ₩106,000 bought at the 117th-floor desk with an admission ticket, or more as a combined ticket.
The glass floor
Sky Deck on the 118th floor has a glass floor about 500 m above the ground, one of the highest in the world. It's included in the standard ticket, and it's the highlight for most visitors.
What visitors say
Visitors love the glass floor, the fast double-decker lift and the views over Seoul and the Han River, especially at sunset. The most common complaints are the price and queues for the lift at busy times, so the advice is to use a discounted ticket and go on a weekday.
