Namsan Cable Car tickets are only available for on-site purchase, not online reservation.

The Namsan Cable Car currently does not operate an online reservation system, and all tickets must be purchased on-site. Many visitors attempt to book online, but in reality, tickets are issued directly at the cable car station ticket office. It is important to consider that waiting times can be long, especially on weekends, evenings, and during peak seasons, when planning a visit.

The round-trip fare for the Namsan Cable Car is 15,000 KRW for adults and 11,500 KRW for children (36 months to 12 years old). One-way fares are 12,000 KRW for adults and 9,000 KRW for children. Residents of Jung-gu and Yongsan-gu receive a discounted rate of 7,500 KRW for a round trip and 6,000 KRW for a one-way trip. Senior citizens, national merit recipients, and disabled individuals are eligible for the same child fare upon presenting valid documentation. The cable car operates daily from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

Bloggers advise using public transportation due to the high cost of Namsan Cable Car parking. A free shuttle bus runs every 10 minutes from Myeongdong Station Exit 1, and using Namsan-dong Public Parking Lot or Hoehyeon-dong Public Parking Lot and walking to the cable car is also recommended. For those visiting with children, taking a bus or the cable car is often suggested as a more convenient option than walking uphill after parking.
