63 Building (Golden Tower)

The Basics

At 63 Building (Golden Tower), visitors can ride a glass elevator to an observation floor—home to the world’s highest art gallery—on the 60th floor. The ride to the top takes less than 30 seconds, and on a clear day, the views extend all the way to Incheon. The lower floors of the building house an indoor commercial center with nearly 100 retail outlets, as well as an IMAX theater, aquarium, and wax museum.

Those planning to visit some of the building’s attractions can save money on a combo ticket, which grants entrance to both the Aqua Planet 63 aquarium and the gallery 63 Art. For the best views of the golden skyscraper from outside, consider an evening cruise along the Han River.
