The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on Wednesday that the city's free Sky Observatory, located on the eighth and ninth floors of Seoul City Hall, will extend its operating hours to include evenings on Fridays and Saturdays starting this weekend. The observatory, which has welcomed over 66,000 visitors since it opened to daytime crowds on July 6, will now remain open until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the fall, and until 9 p.m. from November through February.
Admission is free, and visitors can access the deck via a dedicated elevator from the main entrance on the first floor, near a cafe staffed by robotic baristas. From the observatory's floor-to-ceiling windows, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Deoksu Palace and the Seoul Anglican Cathedral at dusk.
