Tips for Your Visit

Due to its popularity, on-site ride standby registration is now required. Be sure to register for standby as soon as you arrive, even before purchasing your ticket. On weekends and public holidays, standby registration may close early, so it’s best to plan ahead. Also, remember to check the weather and air pollution levels before your visit. For the most breathtaking views of the city, aim to go during or after sunset.

Stay updated on ride availability and any changes to registration times through the official SEOULDAL Notion page (English): Live Updates.
