The 47 best things to do with kids in Busan

Haeundae Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Korea. The sand is clean, the view is beautiful, and the atmosphere is lively — perfect for swimming, relaxing, or enjoying seaside festivals in Busan.

The cool breeze of the water was so so therapeutic. It’s such a clean, well maintained beach 🏝️ surrounded by the tall buildings of the city. There’s proper washrooms to change, water taps to clean the mud on feet 🦶 and so much facilities. Loved it ❤️❤️

Busan’s most iconic and Korea’s most famous beach, Haeundae Beach, features a wide, clean white sand shoreline, a refreshing sea breeze, and a dazzling city skyline in perfect harmony. During the day, Haeundae is vibrant and bustling with people enjoying various marine leisure activities such as swimming, surfing, and paddleboarding. The fine sand and shallow water make it ideal for families. Evening & Night Charm: At sunset, Haeundae’s appeal reaches its peak. The lights from the Marine City skyscrapers and the night view of Gwangan Bridge reflect on the water, creating a spectacular scene. Gunam-ro Culture Square, located behind the beach, comes alive every night with busking performances and street food, offering a lively and exciting nightlife. Must-Visit Nearby Spots: Dongbaekseom Island (동백섬): Located at the western end of the beach, this island features a beautiful walking trail that circles the area. You can see the Nurimaru APEC House (a symbol of Busan), a mermaid statue, and a lighthouse. Visiting around sunset is highly recommended. The Bay 101 (더베이 101): This marina near the entrance of Dongbaekseom Island offers breathtaking views of the Marine City skyline at night. Enjoy beer and fish and chips while experiencing one of Busan’s best photo spots. Haeundae Blue Line Park (블루라인 파크): Take the Sky Capsule or Beach Train from Mipo Station to create special memories as you travel along the beautiful coastline connecting Haeundae to Songjeong.

We only visited Haeundae Beach for a few hours in October after visiting Haedong Yonggungsa and taking the Blueline Park train to Mipo. The Beach is nice, but I found Gwangalli Beach (where we stayed 4 nights) to be more vibrant and exciting wuth its panoramic view of Gwangan Bridge and rhe Saturday night drone light shows.

Beautiful beach. Make sure you get to the benches quickly. People reserve them with personal belongings. Dogs and kids are free roaming on this beach. Lots of restaurant options a s some with science views of the beach. Beautiful during sunset.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Haeundae Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Korea. It’s in Busan and is a great place to enjoy the sea and city together. • The beach is about 1.5 km long with soft sand • You can swim, sunbathe, or just relax • Many restaurants, cafes, and hotels are nearby • In summer, there are festivals and concerts • You can walk along the beach and enjoy the view • The city lights look beautiful at night

Haeundae Beach is one of those famous spots you have to see once. It’s clean, easy to access, and has a great boardwalk with cafés and restaurants nearby. But it can get kind of cloudy in the fall, which takes away some of the vibes. Still, the view of the ocean with the skyline behind it is beautiful, and there’s something nice about just walking along the sand with a coffee in hand. Go early morning or at sunset for the best experience.

Such a colorful and artistic place to explore! 🎨 The whole village feels like a giant open-air gallery with amazing murals, cute cafés, and lovely spots for photos. The view from the top is breathtaking, especially under the clear blue sky. Sitting on the yellow moon with The Little Prince statue was such a fun moment! 🌙 Definitely a must-visit when in Busan — full of charm, creativity, and great memories. 💛

What an amazing village. Originally a settlement for Korean War refugees, it has been transformed into a vibrant arts and culture area with cafés, workshops. Locals also still lives there. You can get lost for hours admiring all pieces of arts and colours. It is quite busy but it's totally worth it Map is recommended if you want to get to specific highlights

Gamcheon Culture Village is so spectacular and an absolute must see. We weren't aware of the opening time of the shops so arrived reasonably early in the morning. This however turned out to be excellent for us as the village was quiet. We met lots of friendly locals out exercising and had access to the prominent photo spots for ourselves. At one stage we sat outside the sports building, located at the top back of the village. From the top of the building, there is a viewing platform. It was not meant to open until 9am however the extremely kind staff in the building let us in and gave us a personalised escort to the roof. We had access to the whole area ourselves! The village is free to visit and is open all the time. The shops and eateries however don't open until 9am. By the time we finished taking in the views, the shops and other tourists began to arrive. This gave us a good chance to shop for souvenirs and take in more of the atmosphere. To me the village is an absolute must see!

Wonderful place. Gamcheon Culture Village is a vibrant maze of color and creativity! Every alley bursts with murals, art installations, and cozy cafés. The view of Busan’s hillside homes is breathtaking—an absolute must-visit for culture lovers and photographers alike. You'll spend 4 hours here at least

Absolutely worth visit! Lots of super cute cafes, Lookouts, Photos spots and souvenir shops. I would allow at least a couple of hours to really take your time and explore, and go either very early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds. Easy enough to get a taxi in and out.

I went here on a beautiful sunny day on my first day in Busan. The views were amazing, the sun was there but the wind felt cool. I stopped by this handmade souvenir shop and bought this cute little lobster keychain and the woman who ran the store gave me a four leaf clover charm as a gift. Gamcheon has been so lovely and I hope I can see it again someday.

Gamcheon Culture Village. It was truly impressed by how this once declining neighborhood has been transformed into such a colorful and vibrant place. The bright houses, creative murals, and artistic atmosphere make it a joy to explore. It’s beautiful and inspiring. There were many international visitors enjoying the views, and the small shops selling cute and unique souvenirs added even more charm. It’s amazing to see how the community turned its history into something so lively and proud. A must-visit spot in Busan!

Came across this stall on level 2 and the owner could speak chinese so it was a very seamless and pleasant experience having our dinner here 🙂 Knowing that we are a little scared about ordering sashimi, she accommodated to us by allowing us to order an even smaller portion to try out 😊 The food came out to be very fresh, even for the ingredients in the stew 😌 Would highly recommend this store!! 🙂 We really enjoyed the whole experience as it could get very overwhelming for some with the amount of options available here 🥶

During our 4-day, 3-night stay in Busan, we ended up having brunch and lunch twice at this spot. Yes, it was that good! We went all out with the seafood (i.e: king crab, snow crab, live octopus, spicy raw crab, and of course, Korea’s signature delicacy; abalone - both grilled and in porridge form). We highly recommend the steamed king crab. It’s a must-try! And if you’re ordering the abalone porridge, pair it with the spicy raw crab. The flavors truly complement each other. Since we shared everything among the four of us, the cost was surprisingly affordable, and we ate like royalty.

Most memorable seafood experience! This was so amazing we came back a second time in our 1 week trip in Busan. The experience on the first floor was great with all the live seafood at very fair prices. We paid 200++ krw for a ~2kg king crab (75/kg - i suspect you can get better prices if you haggle/ask around for rates) (lady we bought from gave “service” in extra scallops and oysters) and a variety of other seafoods overall great experience here - would come back to Busan just for this!

Jagalchi Market is one of those Busan Things to Do. The seafood market on the ground floor is fun for tourists to explore and take photos of the live wiggly seafood. The upstairs contains all the food stalls and dry seafood vendors. There are about 50 food stalls and seating for thousands. It is built to cater to tourists. We were there for a late lunch/early dinner at about 4pm on a dreary October Thursday, so it was pretty empty. We were hungry and decided to to try a Jagalchi food stall. FWIW, we chose Food Stall No. 9 "Yong Gong" because the old lady seemed nice. We ordered fresh grilled eel and seafood onion pancake, plus drinks. Well, the seafood was fresh (but I always select places where the seafood is supposed to be fresh (unless it is something like a McDonald's filet-o-fish sandwich) and I am rarely disappointed. Any place that sells marginal seafood does not last long. The total price of KRW76,000 was one of our three highest priced meals during our trip. Not outrageous, but we ate at a small seafood restaurant in a back alley near Gwangalli for about the same price and that meal and dining experience was a superb 5*. If comparing the two places, I would only give Jagalchi 3*. But I got a touristy photo proving that I was there, so that counts for something.

Downstairs is the fresh market, upstairs is the restaurant. You can buy stuff downstairs and they can cook it upstairs or you can just go upstairs and order from the menu and they'll cook it all for you, which is what my mom and I did. It's easier. All the restaurants upstairs almost sells all the same things, but we opted to go to stall 41 named Chung Cheong do. Owned by an older couple very nice. They didn't pressure you to buy! Because it can get overwhelming. They just explained what the menu was and what they can do for you. We really like this place because if you order the sashimi, you get a soup with it. They'll boil the fish and the bone into the spicy soup shown in the picture. Everything was very fresh very delicious and my mom is a picky eater so she knows quality. We came back to the same place for late lunch and ordered the clams and steamed king crab!

A must-visit in Busan. Jagalchi is the heart of Korea’s seafood scene- rows of fresh fish, crabs, and octopus displayed on ice, with vendors calling out to you in good humor. The experience is half market, half meal- you pick what you want, and they cook it fresh upstairs. Everything was incredibly fresh, from the raw sashimi to the grilled clams. It’s loud, lively, and unforgettable. A true taste of Busan.

We purchase freshest seafood from vendor on the first floor,than we go to the restaurant on the second floor, which the vendor made a reservation for us. You pay small fee for table setting and enjoy the food. Unique experience gor us, and we love everything. Must try at least once, but I bet you want to do it again.

Taejongdae is an iconic park in Busan. It took me ~2hrs to walk finish the mountain, including visiting some of the landmarks like the observatory and lighthouse. It's a relatively easy hike - it's a sloped ground with many water fountain and benches for you to rest. Some landmarks might be more challenging such as the lighthouse as there are many stairs. Overall, it's quite safe and simple to walk around the park. The views are quite nice - you can see the ocean from several spots at the park. Sinseon rock has been closed due to rocks falling. There's also a train that can bring you to various checkpoints around the park if you don't want to walk too much. I didn't take the train so I can't comment too much about it. The observatory has a cat, and a stall that sells snacks for the kitty 🐱

You can enjoy great ocean view along the trial ! If you enjoy hiking/long walks you should definitely walk There is Bus you can take around the park ! I recommend to ride the bus! and the bus is called 다누비열차(the last photo I posted)

4km beautiful walking path surrounded by forest and seaview. Good running path.

Taejongdae is a stunning natural park in Busan, South Korea, known for its dramatic cliffs, ocean views, and lush forests. It offers a peaceful escape with breathtaking scenery, especially from the lighthouse and observatory. Perfect for nature lovers and photographers!

Taejongdae Resort Park is a must-visit when in Busan! The hiking trails, observation deck, and lighthouse offer breathtaking views of the sea that make any trip memorable. At the observation deck, there's a convenient restaurant and store where I enjoyed some ice cream and a refreshing drink—a nice touch to a day of exploring. There are also plenty of friendly stray cats around, which is a bonus for cat lovers. Although the temple was somewhat underwhelming, everything else more than made up for it. The climb to the lighthouse is a bit steep and narrow, especially with two-way traffic, but the panoramic view at the top is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Busan's coastline!

Great place with lots to see! The train takes you around the park and there are many landmarks and points of interest along the route. Toilets are everywhere and there are also cafes and shops along the route. I enjoyed the view over the water from the observatory and the lighthouse. Tickets cost a couple of thousand won each for the train and I think the parking had a small fee also. Probably best to visit in the summer, though even when I visited in winter it was a nice experience.

It's a great quiet place to visit! Beautiful nature, number of awesome spots for taking pictures, Buddhist temples-Taejongdae has it all. However, if you go during summer, make sure to take water and panama hats/caps with you as the road up the hill is steep and long!

Nice beach with the bridge hanging on the background. I would recommend getting there at sunset and having dinner around the area. On saturday nights they do a drone show, it's short but definitely worth watching!

Good beach with many shops and eatery along the beach. If you cant find what you look for, two more rows of street should help. Weekend provides many street performers, drone shows, musical bands, etc…

Great combination of fantastic skyline, bridge, and beach. I recommend that foreign visitors visit this place at night.

Looks great at night with the bridge lit up. Many shops along the water, a lot of coffee shops too. Not really a beach to swim at, or at least I wouldn’t. They have facilities to get change and shower too.

Beautiful beach and fantastic drone show. Lots of korean and international food. Would be a nice place to stay and relax for a week.

Busan was our favourite city of our 17 night South Korean Vacation and Gwangalli Beach was a major reason why. We planned our 4-night stay at an oceanfront condo apartment so we could watch the Saturday night drone light show. It was fantastic. There are two shows each Saturday night. A condo with a beach and bridge view is awesome, but you cannot go wrong just standing on the beach with the thousands of others. Even if you cannot visit on a Saturday, the night (and day) views of Gwangan Bridge plus the nightly fireworks is worth a stay There are so many places to eat, drink, sit and admire the view in Gwangalli. There is music and other activities. We visited Haeundae Beach which felt more upscale, expensive and less crowded. We preferred the vibrancy of Gwangalli.

One if the best beach in Busan! It's nice and chill in the morning, with beach goers doing paddle board. Towards the evening, the bridge lights up with the words, "Busan is good" while giving updates on the temperature and so on. There are also boats that bring tourists out to let off fire works, so we get to see fire works every night!

Nice experience, good designed activity center. Location is near the famous Busan's beach Haeundae. Time to time can be loudy due to children but in spite of this the place is good. Advanced ticket option give the advantage instead of to buy within same day. Also they are applying the same policy for the walk-in customer. There is not much option to do things in Busan, so this aquarium will be the good option for you...

This aquarium has recently been renovated and it is looking great. A bit more expensive than i remember (what isn’t?) My 4 year old daughter really enjoyed almost every exhibit. The staff were all kind and helpful.

Various ways to get discount on tickets for here. Although we felt that 29000 won each was a bit steep, it was eased by wowpass cards or the tourist info desk nearby. The place is amazing despite a hoard of tourists around you most of the time. Neon lights and every kind of fish you can think of in glowing tanks. Some I felt were a little small habitats, especially the large crabs. The large tank at the end was the highlight with a cast array of fish. If you're lucky to catch them at feeding time you'll see some interesting sights. We also got to see the mermaid show which was a bit odd. Gift shop at the end for the kids Note: no hands in the piranhas tanks!

It’s in a very accessible location and is generally very clean and easy to get around. Entry was around AU$30, and it’s a nice way to get to spend an hour. However, some of their animal enclosures were really small, so it was a bit sad to see. I wouldn’t go back just because of this. It felt more like a tourist attraction rather than a conservation or education effort. There were some sharks on the ground but I’m pretty sure one of them was dead, because it was very discoloured and not moving. Quite sad to see!

Best sealife center. Very spacious and a remarkable experience with all the diversity of the ocean-animals. I would recommend every tourist, who is stopping in Busan, to visit it. And the location on the Haeundae -beach is perfect.

Like most of the Sealife venues, the Busan Sealife is worth visiting. The entry price is reasonable for the size and exhibitions shown. Make sure you check out the biggest octopus in captivity in the world. Amazing!!!

A nice aquarium with a variety of different sea life, situated on the Haeundae beach. They have a mermaid show which is fun for kids as well, and a large gift store with all kinds of cute souvenirs and plushies.

Great views of the city, we went at night instead of the day which I think is absolutely the better option. Entry is affordable, I think it was about 10,000w each but I may be wrong. Only giving it 4/5 and not 5/5 because the "fireworks" show is projected onto the glass windows which are quite textured and not the clearest. Especially if you want to take really good pictures. Other than that the staff are really friendly and theres cafes and food places if you want them. Would recommend!

Beautiful view from the top of Busan Tower. The whole building is not big but you go through the viewing platform and gift shop. There are rooms for photos before you finish visiting the tower. The way up and down the tower is very beautiful with many different light tunnels. Definitely a great place to visit when you are in the area.

Spent way too much time here, but hey, it was worth it. Clear day and the views were wonderful! Tons of photos ops on several levels. Busan is so picturesque! Of course, the tower views would enhance the view. Below the tower is a wonderful park with bell, statue, and flower clock, not to he missed.

Great view, a tad pricey though just for the view. Be cautious if you are claustrophobic because there is a very narrow stairwell you have to go through to get back down to the elevators. Lots of stray cats laying about, they are super cute and friendly.

Busan Tower is such a nice place! You can play some fun games throughout the visit, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. In addition, you have an amazing view of all of Busan from the top. It’s a great spot to relax, take photos, and see the city from above. Worth a visit if you’re in Busan!

Mix of great views and gimmicky photo-op setups on lower floors. The scavenger QR hunt with a prize was a nice touch (if you miss any digits accidentally, it’s the date of tower completion). We came before sunset to also see the city lights after dark (obvious protip for doubling up on the breathtaking views). However it was frustrating to learn that you cannot go back up to the observation platform once you go down from T4 to T2. There’s no signage about it, so keep that in mind. Overall it’s worth it if you have a Visit Busan Pass or you like to see cities from up above. Bonus attractions in the park are all the local cats lounging around. They even make souvenirs with their pics.

For sure visit the tower but visit during the night. And be prepared for a short hike, (I didn’t go up the tower but just the area around it very nice specially ghe shopping area on the west of the tower.

(Translated by Google) The largest beach in Busan. It's calmly good. (Original) 부산에서 가장 넓은 해수욕장. 잔잔하게 좋다.

Interesting place to walk around in Busan. As a traveler I have been many places and the venders here are not too pushy, therefore you feel comfortable and safe. Boy do they have a lot of stuff!!! Don't bother with the jello ball, it was so weird!!! It's like jello covered in peanut butter powder or something, just a scam. The pastry fried and filled with seeds and honey, now that was good!! You can get it with cheese and honey or just honey. Very worth it, very cheap. We also tried the dumplings, very good.

It's a buzzing night markets full of street foods, and also a shopping street, with variety of brands and shops. Had the famous hotteok here, and it didn't disappoint, loved it so much! And the street foods look appealing and of course we have tried a few different types of food, chicken skewer, dumplings, fishcakes, tteokbokki etc. it was satisfying.

It’s a buzzing night market where the famous Busan International Film 🎥 Festival takes place and so there were fingerprints of varipus celebs. There’s so much of local food 🍛vibrant shops 🏬 and restaurants.

BIFF Street is the perfect place to experience Busan's dynamic street culture, enjoy famous snacks, and celebrate its status as a world-class film city. Can buy Korean famous socks is selling cheap here.

It is a long street where you can easily find the local foods. It connects to the local markets and allows you to explore the culture business of people. But it closes early in the weekday even weekend not many people around 11pm. If you visit Busan, do not miss this.

BIFF is clustered with some other popular Busan attractions. Lots of lights, food and people. Better when it gets dark.

BIFF Square is a lively spot packed with delicious street food and cool movie vibes. Perfect place to snack and explore.

It’s incredible that the entrance of this park is right in the middle of the street. 2/4 escalators didn’t work so there were quite some stairs to climb. The park is very clean, there are swing benches and even on the way there is an outdoor “gym”. At the top, you can find Busan tower.

The park is quite clean and not many people were there. Escalator was functioning going up the hill where the Busan tower is. Quite high. I think it’s like 5-6 times of the escalator size in the photo. With the escalator, the journey going up wasn’t bad and took less than 10mins. Going down is just via stairs and quite fast. Lovely place up there. Took a break on the swing enjoying the humid weather and spent a little while taking photos. Once you’re up on the hill, there’s like small colourful shops selling souveniors etc. Some were closed when we were there. Spent like about half and hour or so. Great view and it was okay if you have extra time to spend in Busan.

Yongdusan Park is a lovely spot to relax in Busan. It’s peaceful with nice walking paths and great views. You can also visit the Busan Tower nearby. A great place for a quiet break!

It is a park consisting of a small hill that passes through the entrance of the old American Cultural Center and passes through the Central Cathedral. Nearby are Daecheong-dong, Nampo-dong, Gwangbok-dong, Bupyeong-dong, Jagalchi and International Market. The Yongdusan Tower, which was completed when I was in middle school, was a landmark of Busan at the time, but now it can be said to be a place of memories. There is an escalator leading to Nampo-dong, making it convenient for the elderly to visit.

We visited the park quite late at night but it still feels safe. It's very easy to get there as it offers eskalators to go up

Super pretty! A lot of views, games and cats! The area nearby has a lot of very good restaurants and stores!

Yongdusan Park (용두산공원), located in the heart of Busan, South Korea, is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the city. This iconic park, named after its resemblance to a dragon's head ("Yongdu" means dragon head in Korean), offers a tranquil escape from the bustling urban environment. The park is most famous for the towering Busan Tower, which stands at 120 meters and provides breathtaking panoramic views of the city, the harbor, and even the distant coastline. Visitors can ascend the tower for a small fee, making it a highlight of the park. The park itself is beautifully landscaped, featuring walking trails, pavilions, and a variety of monuments, including the statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, a revered Korean naval hero. Seasonal flowers and trees add to the charm, making it a picturesque spot for photography and relaxation. Yongdusan Park also hosts cultural events and traditional performances, offering a glimpse into Korea's rich heritage. Easily accessible via escalators from Nampo-dong, the park is a popular destination for both locals and tourists. Whether you're looking to unwind, enjoy scenic views, or learn more about Korean culture, Yongdusan Park is a delightful experience that shouldn't be missed.

A little edge walked out above the sea and rock cliff. No entrance fees but there are a bit of wait if the Skywalk is busy as they don't want it to be too crowded on the glass walk. You require to wear shoes cover to keep the glass clean. Lovely view of the harbour, islands, and hiking trails close by.

The skywalk is free. I love coming here and seeing the 5 islands that used to be connected then take an easy walk down to the parking lot to buy fresh seafood from the haenyeos or eat ramen from the stand. Please support the local haenyeos. You can also take a ferry to see another view of the 5 islands. It’s a taste of real local busan.

Oryukdo Skywalk is worth visiting…. It’s a glass skywalk overhanging Sea of Japan (South Sea and East Sea meets here). Please take note of timings. On the sides of this bridge, you can find few spots to take beautiful pictures of nearby tiny islands.

It’s a cool place and not scary at all! You only need about 40 minutes to explore the whole area. Go have fun!

The glass viewing platform positioned in a cliff would have been a thrilling walk and adventure. But given the weather is not good, we were not able to enter the Skywalk. So check the weather before trying to visit here. If its raining hard and too windy, most likely they will close the area. I guess it was not meant to be. We did visit the trail to the sea which is just next to it.

A great place to come enjoy the sea breeze and the sun. There’s also trails to take on. Skywalk is short and is free

Went on a slightly gloomy day with on-and-off rain but it was still a nice walk. Would make a good hiking trip with good weather!

This is one excellent museum that covers the pre-historic Busan through the 21st century. I enjoyed this museum much more than the main one in Seoul. Free lockers in the lobby area as well.

All I can say is that if you are or will be in Busan, you must visit here. Well organised, detailed, clean, peaceful, etc. It is also free to enter, no tickets needed which is a fantastic way to welcome and allow everyone to see and inform them about their history and culture. I loved it.

It is located near UN Park and it is free. It always close on Monday. The collection inside is mostly about how Busan was in the past. It is a good place to visit with your friends and family. On the first floor, you can visit the Korean Culture Center where you can try the Royal Family hanbok and have a tea ceremony for free!

A must-visit museum in Busan🌊 to understand a maritime trade city in the past thousands’ years. Currently there’s a special exhibition in Busan Museum for Indigenous Americans. A mini version of New York “National Museum of Native Americans” Highly Recommended👍

The display was of good quality and highly informative. While some parts lacked English translation, it did not significantly affect the overall experience or understanding of the history. Overall, it was an enjoyable and enriching visit. Highly recommended!

I had never expected that it would be a good place to go around because it looked so small. But there were many things to take a look at. As a father of 2 kids, I love going to a museum. For me, it is kind of mandatory to visit the local museum. The Busan museum was a great spot for Korean history. I would like to recommend this place for those who are interested in Korean history.

An incredible display of history, beautifully presented! The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. The Native American exhibit was one of the best I've ever seen—truly outstanding. 10/10, I highly recommend the Busan Museum.

It was an amazing experience, the views are stunning from the cable car! We did the one way route down. Take note: there are a LOT of stairs and a steep incline to walk to the top! Once we got off the cable car, we walked around beautiful Songdo Beach at sunset. Even if you do not want to ride on the cable car, it is definitely wortels it to visit Songdo Beach!

Good scenic cable car ride You have the option to choose glass bottom with slightly higher fare but it’s worth it. On the destination station amnam park there are many hiking and scenic spots, restaurants.

Used our busan pass to get free rides, there was no queue at all and we were guided to the crystal cabin cable car. The view was spectacular, the cable car was safe and the island we went to was amazing. Definitely a must-do when in Busan.

It was great, I paid 15000 kwn for the cart by booking through a third party website. You can just check for the cheapest deal and book it for a particular day and you can go and get tickets by showing the booking code in the ticket counter.

You can get a good experience if you don't have acrophobia. The wind is very strong and the car is strongly trembling.

Really nice cable car over the sea. Highly recommend taking the glass floor cabin. It was nice to walk around on the other side and take in the scenery. There are shops selling street food and a cafe as well. Lots of stray cats around.

By all means, go and have fun! It's a breath taking view from the station and quite a few activities to do and food to eat! Do buy your tickets beforehand though!

I’m not sure which was better, visiting during the day or the evening. Daytime has lovely beaches and fun sculptures to take pictures with and swim out to. At night the whole place lights up, it’s beautiful.

Went in the evening and enjoyed the dusk scene. Very beautiful! We stayed around for a while and it was just lovely and very peaceful too at night. The mountain across was enshrouded in clouds before the sun set. Picturesque!

What's a beautiful place! You can see the Songdao gondola is running.

Quick, beautiful and well worth the effort and price! Did this just before riding the cable car. It’s a gorgeous view of both the harbor coast and deep into the clear green water. No brainer. Do it!

A good place for an evening stroll. Good vibes!

A small trails over the rocks and beach. A bit dated area, but still fun for family. Small electric boat can be rented for fun.

Songdo Cloud Trails in Busan is a scenic walkway that feels like floating over the ocean. The winding paths and glass sections offer thrilling views of the waves below, creating a unique experience. Ideal for a peaceful stroll or photography, it’s a refreshing way to enjoy Busan’s coastline. The views, especially around sunset, are spectacular—a must for visitors seeking something memorable.

Dadaepo Beach is a beautiful beach with fine sand and a very peaceful atmosphere. The wide view of the sea is stunning, especially during sunset when the sky is painted in warm colors. The area is perfect for long walks, and there is a large promenade with seating areas to unwind. A special highlight is the Dadaepo Sunset Fountain of Dreams, a water show with music and lights that creates a magical evening ambiance. A perfect place to escape the city, enjoy nature, and simply relax!

다대포해수욕장 is truly a gem in Busan! The golden sands, clear waters, and breathtaking sunsets make it a must-visit destination. I had the pleasure of spending a the afternoon there, and I was captivated by the beauty and serenity of the beach. The atmosphere is so peaceful and rejuvenating.

Beautiful huge beach and park with mostly locals. Dont see much tourists around maybe due to area not having alot of food options. But still worth a trip as near the metro station and nice to walk.

Dadaepo Beach is in the mouth of Nakdong River and has actually two beaches, eastside and westside, and has a little island named Molundae in the middle of two beaches. Molundae is good for walking. Dadeapo Beach is very famous for sunset but a less known famous in Busan city. There are many activities in every season. You can walk on the sand even in the winter because the weather and the water temperature are good.

Nice and quiet beach. Big sand, cool wind, and a great sunset. Good place to walk and rest.

Dadaepo beach is lesser known, but the most beautiful beach in Busan. Much better than cenrally located beaches, and easily accessible by metro

Beautiful sunset. Two beach.

It's a beautiful place to unwind and recrestion for choldren and adults specially during autumn and springtime...a place where u will see the beauty of nature.

Beautiful renovation from a military base area to a peaceful park full of beauty and plants. We enjoyed going to see it nearly empty and citizens pruning the park and returning on a busy day watching children on the faux beach, people picnicking and everyone just enjoying the beauty of this park.

Excellent place to hangout with family and friends. A place to take rest with your dear one. Walk around the park and enjoy different themes. A vast area with clean rest rooms. You can see colorful fishes there with a little modern village feelings. A sand area perfect to get busy to your toddlers. There are cafeteria and convenient store too. If you have kids with you then find the kids play area. Need to say more but not enough to write. So please visit the park and I know you want to go again and again

What a hidden gem! So much greenery, play and fun for the kids!

Lovely place to walk around. Also, the perfect place for a nice picnic <3 Lots of space and not crowded at all. (Although, please bear in mind that that could change over time.)There are some snacks you can purchase here and there, so if you don't bring food, no worries !

A large park with many spots and beautiful views. It's very comfortable for picnic with your family or friends, or even coming by your self only just to spend some time for relaxing.

Very large park with heaps of activities. Very peaceful to just walk arond and enjoy the sights!

What a beautiful park! It's very clean and pleasant. There are a lot of sitting areas, ponds and playgrounds. The perfect place for a picnic, a jog, a walk or to bring yours kids and paly. It's quite close to the metro station. The park is quite big so you can take at least 1h walking around

Serene place to go for a nice walk... beautiful views and sculptures.

Nice place and perfect view. Cable car 🚠 is favourite choice for seeing the whole view

I visited the Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge after taking the Songdo Marine Cable Car, and it was absolutely worth the trip! The bridge connects to a small island-like area, and although there’s a small entrance fee of around 1,000 KRW, the view you get in return is stunning. Walking across the bridge while surrounded by the ocean and looking back at the Busan coastline was such a memorable experience. It’s a beautiful spot to enjoy the sea breeze and take some great photos, definitely worth visiting! Only thing I didn’t like though, you are not allowed to use the selfie stick. :)

We visited the Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge after riding over on the cable car. KRW1000 is cheap fun with nice views. A strong warm breeze caused slight swaying of the bridge. After the bridge, you can walk down a few minutes to take the free Yonggung Oreumgil elevator to go down to sea level and access the Amnam Park cliff walk, which was closed for construction during our visit.

Amazing view of the coastal line and the city. Chill breeze made me spend some more time there. Not very crowded. The walk was a bit scary in the beginning but then it went just fine. The bridge is very stable and dont feel it move.

Great views. But not much else, just a walk around the tiny island. Go early before the guided tour groups.

Amazing experience and views with a minimal 1000 KRW entry fee.

₩1,000 - sign me up!! Uber photogenic.

very quiet, well-maintained, and relaxing place, like most temples in Korea. The site is very easy to reach by public transport

Highly recommend visiting this 1,300-year-old ancient temple. It’s beautifully maintained and offers a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Perfect place to unwind and take in the history.

The architecture is stunning: intricate woodwork, bright dancheong patterns, and centuries-old pagodas that somehow feel both grand and humble. Even with other visitors around, it never loses that sense of serenity. The views are also incredible. The temple sits high enough that you can see the forested hills rolling out below, especially if you take a short hike up behind the complex. It’s the perfect balance of culture and nature. Whether you’re into history, photography, or just looking for a peaceful place to recharge, Beomeosa Temple is a must-see in Busan. It’s not just a visit - it’s an experience that stays with you.

Beautiful temple and surroundings. Worth a visit. Don't follow the naver maps directions. Instead take the train to Beomeosa station or Nopo station (even better) and take the 90 bus (it takes you to the temple entrance).

Beautiful and serene temple. The surrounding countryside was stunning with the autumn leaves. Be sure to walk back to the metro - it's an easy walk and the view is splendid.

Amazing temple on the top of a mountain near Busan city center. You can take a bus that leaves you at the door. Many buildings conform this temple that for sure will enjoy wandering around in the middle of nature. Highly recommended visit at anytime

13 Nov 2025 - Awesome Autumn foliage

Started my hike (northern side) all the way to Oryukdo (Southern side). Very beautiful hikes in good weather and temperature with manageable. Oryukdo has many pretty yellow flowers

The views were majestic, view of Busan was blending in with tropical like park. We were unlucky and went on a hottest day of the summer and although some parts were tough, we enjoyed it a lot

Make sure you have plenty of water on you and enjoy the stunning views along the Coastal Walk! It'll take you around 2+hours, and you'll climb approximately 79 floors. A great workout for sure!

I don’t know why this hike isn’t on every top ten things to do in Busan! It’s incredibly gorgeous and peaceful and one of the best parts is greeting the lovely people you see on the trail. 안녕하세요! It does take a few hours and there are a lot of steps but you can take your time and enjoy lunch and snacks and small breaks at one of the many lookout points with benches. It also takes you all the way to the Oryukdo Skywalk, which is a wonderful experience, and where you can catch a direct bus to Jagalchi fish market, BIFF square, Gukje market, and Nampo-dong shopping area. The perfect day!

Nice coastal walk but can be quite challenging for those who do not exercise or do hikes on a regular basis. Lots of steps up and down.

It's a really nice walk with stunning views of the city and ocean. Could be windy but depends on the day. Love the bridges and a few more challenging parts of the trail. A great option for Busan visitors.

It's a great hike if you're up for a challenge. You can walk about 2 miles to the other end, but it's full of up and down climbs, most of which is with actual steps, but a decent chunk on rocks. You get to enjoy fantastic views and the beauty of the coastline. It's amazing how clear the water is. Don't forget to bring water to drink because you'll need to start hydrated because of the steps.

It is an ample space that could have so much more than one or two themes at once. An entire floor was not even used. Otherwise, it was very nice.

The Museum was quiet, and had a serene feel to it. If you want to take your time and focus on the artworks, however, I don't suggest you stay outside. Instead, you can explore the interior exhibition where, if you do not run into anyone intruding on you, you can quietly explore on your own.

The 2th and 3rd floors were not available as new exhibits were being prepared. We enjoyed the « lot of people «  exhibition with painted styrofoam. An activity for you to make your own styrofoam piece of arts is available. Very instructive.

English website is quite confusing. The words are English but meaning isn't which is difficult since you need to pre-book timed tickets for exhibits on different floors. One staff person gave me a ticket and said to wait for two hours on benches in the lobby but another gave me an immediate timed ticket to the second floor exhibit. Thank you! The art was from Korean collectors. Cafeteria hits included maple cream cheese waffles and vanilla latte coffee.

Definitely worth a visit if you're interested in history and art. The free exhibition is worth a visit already. Closed on Mondays (take note of that!). Would rate it a 5 if there were English translations on all of the exhibits, but having most of it translated to English is good enough for me. Time passes really fast here so do allocate enough time to visit here.

Definitely worth a visit. The free exhibition offers a great view into Busan's local socio-economic history. However, the free exhibition seems to be a little more focused on history than to better shed light on the evolution of artistic sensibilities, aesthetics, philosophy and style of the various pieces. More could be done to also shed light on the artistic traditions from which the featured artists drew their inspiration/training from. Still, it's worth spending an hour or so checking it out.

I visited the museum on the last day of the Time and Repetition exhibition. It’s a short walk from exit 5/7 of BEXCO station, and opposite BEXCO as well as a stone’s throw away from CENTUM City, which houses Korea’s largest shopping complex. The museum itself is free entrance but specifically exhibitions require ticketing. There are both indoor and outdoor exhibitions. It’s a great place to spend a few hours to learn about modern art.

Such a cute and relaxing experience. The staff is so friendly! :D Besides the incredible view, there’s a few activities to do there after you’re done with the observatory. Bring paper or a postcard! They have an ink stamp section you can use for free. Perfect for anyone who journals. They also have a post box where you can send a letter(takes about 6 months to deliver). You can buy mailing stamps and postcards at the little shop nearby. Oh, and you can get more ink stamps inside the store too, at the information desk. There’s also a little lounge inside the shop with an ocean view where you can sit and relax or write a letter/wish. You can make a wish on these little wooden fish and hang it nearby (buy at the shop for 5,000kwon). If you follow the walking trail at the observatory it will lead you to plenty of shops and cafes and eventually to another beach. View on trail is amazing and they have benches to rest. They also have train stops if you prefer to take the train which has seats facing the ocean. Tickets can be bought in the nearby kiosks.

Really cool place to take a walk! Right by the Haeundae blue line, it’s free to walk out on the trail and check out the glass floors. We enjoyed very much and it was a nice little stop in our adventure between the rail cart ride and dinner. Takes maybe 15 minutes to walk the whole observatory but take some time here to enjoy the sights and breeze. Good place for kids and it looked like some people were fishing here too

A very pleasant and free walk 20 meters above the Korea Strait, with sections of glass floor for an extra thrill. The views are stunning and the spot is perfect for photos. Several seafood restaurants are nearby, making it an easy and enjoyable stop — especially if you’re riding the Beach Train!

Good place to visit during sunset times and great views of the ocean in front. They have in sections glass bottom built on this bridge so you can directly view the sea below as you walk around. Can be skipped too as the place is not really wow to miss!

The sky walk has glass panels and when walking over it, it send some thrill over your spine if you are faint hearted like me.Nice scenic view and you have the blue line rail way track running over it

Blue sky and blue sea. Furthermore, the sea through the glass fllor. I had the precious experience here. It would be better to visit when it's sunny if possible. It seems to be dangerous and prohibited walking on the bridge with an umbrella.

Just peaking around the corner, there is this awesome glass floor sky walk that allows you to view to sea below. Amazing view and very strong winds, the glass floor challenges those that are afraid of heights while looking at the sea whooshing down below. While I was there in summer, there were not alot of people so it is quiet and nice, with a peaceful atmosphere.

My daughter and I visited one afternoon. We wanted to see a park from another country. The park is very beautiful and we loved seeing the designs and colors. We didn't ride anything since most of the rides were geared towards younger children. This park is definitely a great place for families with younger kids. The parade was fun. The characters did a great job interacting with the people along the route. It is a smaller park so we didn't stay a super long time...maybe 2 1/2 hours.

i went there because i was on a holiday to busan ,it was very fun and family friendly..i 100% recommend it ,the lines for some rides were a bit long (50 mins) ,but most of the lines for the rides were short.there was a parade at the end and the person cosplaying the sheep was soo pretty and nice 😍,love her.there are a lot of food shops there . after going there ,you can go to the lotte mall next to it . but there are only a few english signs and mostly korean ,so foreigners like me who don’t understand korean have to keep using a translator in order to understand.its a bit tricky to find the main entrance.

Not sure if one should visit this park with charge, I made this trip because the park close to Skyline luge and the fee is covered by Busan pass. The park feels a bit aged.. and it’s slightly weird to look so empty on a weekend. But anyway as a visitor I shouldn’t complain because you can have much faster access for all the games. Some of the shops are bot opened and it doesn’t seem this park has its own themed souvenir - most souvenir shop is selling things that you can see elsewhere on the street.

Visiting this place during weekend because there was a half price discount. It was not as crowded and as big as the one in Seoul. I got to try Giant Digger and Giant Splash twice haha. Unfortunately, during my visit, the Giant Swing was under maintenance. During summer it will be super hot so make sure to stay hydrate

it's not worth. lots of game are close, not so many games to play. when i come there giant splash and giant swing are close. only giant digger i can play. others are for kids. and the place is so small, 2 hours is enough to play all games, not so many people come there even on weekend. in conclusion, the price is quite EXPENSIVE for te experience today. it is better to buy the tickrt ON THE SPOT and see if any rides you plan to play are open? i think its is more suitable for the kids and parent with kids. they have rides that only kids are allowed. and have water parade show and everyone is using raincoat and dance around. kids will love it. the location is quite far from the city, you can go buy bus. nearby have lotte premium outlet

The amusement rides are not only new but also well-maintained and clean. The wait time for the roller coaster is only about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the most thrilling attraction was under maintenance, so I couldn’t experience it. The entire park is relatively small, and you can finish exploring in about 2.5 hours. There are also scheduled performances to enjoy. The staff is very friendly, and it's very convenient to get a tax refund when shopping at the souvenir store. Definitely worth visiting again.

longest i waited for a ride was 10min and it was the cookie train (not even the most thrilling ride). not much people everywhere. near the main entrance was so empty at 10am that i thought the park was closed. the parades are heartwarming to watch and the performers would interact with you. the gyro swing here goes higher than the one in seoul! the orange rollercoaster (digger) is also on a larger scale than any of lotte seoul’s. just way too many baby attractions where they didnt allow solo adult to go.. unless you are accompanying a child, even if the attraction is empty 😕 some of the rides are also so empty that you have to wait 10 minute for more people to join then they will operate the ride eg the back and forth water one (forgot name). there were not much attraction and queues so i finished the park fast and left early.

i love the aquarium area! museum educates widely on the history of korea maritime which is interesting. just unfortunately the kids section museum did not allow adults without an accompanied kid to enter.. even when there is no crowd

Visited just because it seemed like a good rainy day activity but this museum exceeded my expectations. The displays here were very informative and shows the history of maritime trade and warfare of Korea. They also had 360 degree projected rooms which were nice. On the one of the floors they also had a small aquarium and a kids section.

What a beautiful place. Everyone should come here. I'm surprised its free. It takes you on journey of how humans loved the sea, it was apart of their lives, how Koreans and others harvested sea weed and other precious things that the see has to offer. Their journey from shipbuilding, fishing and beyond.

Free entry Cool ocean, marine exhibition also has little aquarium :D

Entrance is free, i liked the aquarium, but the historical collection and narrative is also exciting

Wonderful (and free) museum, focusing on local history with the ocean and naval issues. Lots of things for kids to do, but still entertaining and engaging for adults.

If you have kids, bring them here. Worth the experience. Free ticket.

Loved it. Seems like a hidden gem in Busan. They let people play and run among the fountains after the main show. Had different musical arrangements for two different time showtimes. Would see it again!

The fountain is nothing special during the day but I'm sure it looks nice at night. The park and walking trail nearby is great! Good spot for a walk, chill on the grass or workout in the open air gim.

Great show. Colourful with nice music. You get to go onto the grounds to get wet afterwards. Recommend going earlier to get a decent seat. The beach is nearby too but other than that not much else to do in that part of Busan.

It's a must visit place in busan. Amazing fountain show start at 8pm during summer. Chill up the area during summer day. Great to see children enjoying them self at the fountain after the show, which they allow them to play and take photos after the show end. Great place for family and it's a unforgettable memories for children.

We came quite late at the Dadaepo beach and raining, the show is good with popular music. At the weekend they have live music,

Currently in the autumn season so shows are at 7:30 weekdays (closed Mondays) with an extra showing at 8:30 on Weekends. It is free to watch and they put out lots of chairs for people to be able to watch. Toilets next to the fountain. At the end of the show the fountains are still going and people were running around in the fountain.

The sunset fountain is located a minute’s walk away from Dadaepo Beach at the last stop of the subway line. It’s about an hour from Busan station or two hours away from Haeundae. The fountain itself is a magnificent sight but the surrounding area closes quite early in the evening considering the fountain show begins at 8pm. It was raining when I went there but people were already lining up around the fountain at 7.30pm. Worth a go if you’re in the area, or if you have a lot of free time.

These videos are from late August 2023. I'm uploading them again because the original place here on Google Maps got deleted for some reason. The show only lasts a few minutes, and it's something fun to experience while you take an evening walk around the Gwangalli beach or if you find yourself dining in one of the places near. Otherwise, it's not really worth travelling here unless you are already in the vicinity.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely breathtaking experience at Gwangalli Beach! The Gwangalli M Drone Light Show is easily one of the most magical attractions in Busan and something I’d recommend to absolutely anyone visiting the city. I watched it on a Saturday night, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The synchronization of hundreds of drones lighting up the night sky above the ocean, set against the beautiful backdrop of Gwangan Bridge, was nothing short of mesmerizing. Each sequence told a story — colorful, detailed, and perfectly timed with music that made the whole experience feel cinematic. It’s incredible to think that this happens every week, and yet it still feels like a world-class event. The best part is that it’s free, and you can enjoy it from anywhere along the beach. The crowd atmosphere was lively but friendly, and everything was well organized. I recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early to grab a good spot and maybe pick up some snacks from the nearby cafes or street food stalls. Overall, this show truly captures the creative and futuristic spirit of Busan. It’s romantic, family-friendly, and unforgettable. I’d go back again in a heartbeat — a perfect blend of art, technology, and ocean vibes! 🌌🇰🇷✨

Our 4-night stay in Busan was planned around seeing the Gwangalli M Drone Light Show which is only on Saturday nights. I found an affordable oceanfront condo which promised a view of the show. We arrived on Wednesday on a KTX from Gyeongju and fell in love with our view from the condo. Gwangalli is a great place to stay and explore Busan. There are 2 drone light shows each Saturday, 7pm and 9pm in October. We watched the first 7pm show from the condo. The take-off and landing area was directly below us. I videotaped the entire 15 minute show. It was Marvelous! For the second 9pm show, I watched it from the beach level. This was also great. There is no bad spot to watch because the display of lights is massive and high in the air above the water. Because I knew what to expect, I moved to a beach spot in front of 프론트커피 "Front Coffee" (237) so that the Gwangan Bridge framed the drone light show. If you are in Busan on a Saturday night, you must add this drone show to your itinerary. If you can stay in an oceanfront condo on Gwangalli Beach, you will love it!

As a tourist, I was honestly amazed at how spectacular the drone show was. It wasn’t just a short display — it ran much longer than I expected, which made it even more enjoyable! The visuals were stunning, creative, and perfectly timed with the music. It’s such a cool experience to see hundreds of drones lighting up the night sky over the ocean. Definitely one of the highlights of my Busan trip!

What a great show! Huge bridge bathed in lights and hundreds of precise 3D controlled drones accompanied by music 🔥👍🏽 (Actually, it looks as if they had 8 layers of each 125 device, so exactly 1000 drones controlled simultaneously, individually!) Impressive.

Amazing ! A great show to see with your family or friends !

Saw the show Oct 18, amazing!!! This was the first time I have seen a drone show and I was amazed! It was entertaining, fun, fantastic, colorful, I am so curious at how they get to do the drones to do all that they do!

Had an amazing time here :,, I must admit the beach is less crowded that other beaches. I would recommend some nice night walks through the long bridge, totally breathtaking

Beautiful long strip of the beach in the city of Busan, not many vacationers Basically, families with children walk along the water and admire the landscapes. Opposite several restaurants and cafes, there is a Starbucks with coffee for any choose On the territory there are toilets and rooms for changing clothesBut the most important thing is the pacifying landscape and the type of sea waves and fresh winds

The water is incredibly dirty, so I got out right away. And I don't mean the green algae, but tons of plastic, bags, small ribbons, and other debris. Fortunately, there is a shower container, which costs 2000 WON. The sand is not particularly fine, but it is good for walking barefoot. It is nice and firm at the water's edge.

Amazing sandy beach, great views with the cable cars and the whale statue in the sea. Has some crabs in the water and the water is clear so you can see them. Was good for swimming with kids.

Songdo Beach is a man-made beach and Korea's first public beach. There are a lot of fun attractions, including the Songdo Cloud Trails skywalk, the cable car, suspension bridge, etc. It is quiet compared to Gwangalli, but worth visiting.

Songdo was actually one of the last places I visited in Busan before I had to leave. Songdo was beautiful, and when I visited the day was cloudy and gave me a bit of melancholic feeling. Nevertheless, the views were wonderful, the water captured the fleeting sunlight beautifully as it glimmered like diamonds. There were plenty of fresh seafood restaurants scattered about and I had the mussel soup. It was alright.

Songdo Beach in Busan at the end of September, it was such a pleasant experience. Since it wasn’t peak season, the beach was less crowded, making it peaceful and easy to enjoy. The weather was warm enough to dip into the water and play around a little, which was perfect for the season. In the morning, I saw local elders cleaning the beach, which really showed the community’s care and love for the area. The beach was clean, beautiful, and relaxing, definitely a place I’d recommend visiting in Busan!

This temple is worth visiting. I have been deeply impressed by the structure of the Buddha on the stones. I was very relaxed to pay a visit to this temple. I wish I could have another chance to come to this temple and silently read the mantra of the Buhhda of Medicine on the ground.

It's not worth the strenuous climb of about 1.5 km to get there. The stone carvings are nice, but the temple itself is very small and, in my opinion, doesn't even begin to compare in beauty to the Buddhist temples you can visit in Kyoto and the rest of Japan. Even the trail to get there, although it passes through a forest, isn't at all a nature experience, given the presence of paved roads, public restrooms, vending machines, and fitness areas. Furthermore, the trail entrance has a fair amount of abandoned garbage.

This was my favourite temple in Korea. Liked it more than Bulguksa or Haedong Yonggung, Bongeunsa or Jogyesa. You can easily get by taxi but I liked the route via the Geumsang cable car. A pretty forest hike. Quite easy following the signs to South Gate (and if you want, the Observatory and Watch Tower #2), and then go down all the way to the road that leads up to this gorgeous temple. It is not an easy climb up but worth it for sure. The place was empty when I visited, which made it even more magical. Just gorgeous carving in the rock, and the temple itself is beautiful. The view is outstanding and you can even feed the friendly crows if you feel like it. Highly recommend.

One of the highlands of our visit to Busan and it was on my list of places to visit. Highly recommend, probably the most unique Buddhist temple we saw and we visited quite a few in Asia.

Hidden between the trees on the top of a mountain outside of the center of Busan, this calm, pastoral temple different than any temple I've seen. The hike up there took quite a while (around 1 hour hike) and was a bit steep, but we chose to go on cold weather, which turned out to be a good choice hike-wise. However, the view from up there must be incredible when the visibility is better. The ancient statues facing the cliff must be at least 10 meters tall, are all craved by man, and are guarding a small shrine that is located on top of them.

Be ready for long climb for 1.4km. Nice and quiet place

Beautiful temple with amazing relief carvings on the cliff walls. The temple is somehow difficult to access, but worth the visit. The entrance is free, and no fee is required. I stayed ther 30 or 40 min, more than enough (relatively small temple). To get there, you can either take the subway to Mandeok station and then walk the way up for around 30 to 40 min depending on your physical condition. Another option could be to take a taxi up to the parking lot and then walk for 3 to 5 min up to the entrance.

High-end mall. City wide views from top floor observation deck and garden. Restaurants and food court available.

You'll find everything here. Especially the popular brands like GUCCI, DIOR, CHANNEL, NIKE and so on have their own outlets here. Basically, in the major cities/popular locations have the Lotte Mall or Lotte Department Store 🏬. Sometimes you will find the cheap price of everything.

Check out the food court. Friendly staff and fast service. Delicious food with lots of choices and there's even a promo near the closing time, KW 10,000. Plus a water show every hour after 11am.

A beautiful shopping mall with lots of quality shops. There’s a fountain and light show hourly at centre stage. It’s worth watching.

I had a great experience with the tax refund service here. The staff were incredibly helpful, professional, and kind throughout the whole process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I understood each step. What really stood out was how approachable and efficient she was — she made what could have been a stressful task quick and easy. I truly appreciated her positive attitude and attention to detail. Highly recommend their service to anyone looking for a smooth and trustworthy tax refund experience!

A great place if you want to spend a whole day shopping in one place. Has 12 floors with a roof top overlooking Busan and BIFF Square with stuff for everything on each floor. Was a bit chaotic at times but that depends on the time of day you go. It’s great for tourists as you can do tax refund on site that the store owners will take you to. Great to do it before or after you visit BIFF Square and the shopping there.

Huge mall, lots of food options. Nice to go when it's raining outside.

It's ok , the view is very nice , there were no queue at all. But the price is a bit higher that it should be. This is not a real 360 observation deck , and you can see clearly only 200 deg +/- The windows weren't fully clean in all the places , and the blue filter (I guess UV protection) make it very difficult to make a clear pictures

Do yourself a favor and visit this place while you are in Busan. The panoramic views are absolutely breathtaking. I never realized how beautiful Busan was until I saw the city from a bird's eye view. The observation deck is probably the best one we have visited anywhere in the world. It is spotless, well maintained, and truly a delight to experience. It is also very spacious so you don't feel like you are bombarded with overcrowding even though there are a lot of people. Having a coffee at the highest Starbucks in the world is also a fun bonus. Highly recommend.

BUSAN X the SKY is a popular tourist attraction in Busan. It is an observatory located at the very top of the Haeundae LCT Landmark Tower, which is the second-tallest building in Korea. Here are the key details: * What it is: The highest and largest observatory in Korea, offering 360-degree panoramic views of Haeundae Beach, the city, and the ocean. * Location: It occupies the 98th, 99th, and 100th floors of the tower in Haeundae, Busan. * Height: The observatory is 411.6 meters (1,350 feet) high. Main Attractions Inside * Panoramic Views: You can see all of Haeundae, Gwangan Bridge, and the coastline. * Shocking Bridge: A section of the floor (on the 100th floor) is made of transparent glass, allowing you to look straight down to the beach below. * World's Highest Starbucks: The Starbucks on the 99th floor is famous for being the highest one in the world. * Other Facilities: There is also a restaurant (X the LOUNGE), a souvenir shop, and various photo zones. Visitor Information * Hours: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM (Last admission is at 8:30 PM) * Ticket Price (Adult): 27,000 KRW It's considered one of the main landmarks to visit in Busan for its incredible views. Would you like me to find directions on how to get there from Gwangju?

We visited this attraction using the Busan Pass, so admission was free. The main highlight is an observation tower with a restaurant inside. However, the glass exterior was quite dirty, which affected the clarity of the view. There’s also a small area with free 3D art displays, which was a nice touch. Overall, the experience was just average—but since it was free with the pass, it’s worth a quick stop if you’re in the area.

If you happen to be passing by on a beautiful sunny day or in the evening, at the top of Busan Sky Tower you will have a magnificent view of the city and the sea. The tower is quite large with enough space to stroll around inside. It has everything you would expect in a modern tower, including restaurants, souvenir shops, and, if you wish, you can even have a coffee in the highest Starbucks in the world! One more thing. Don't forget to take a quick trip to the restroom... ;-) It's worth it...

Spectacular views of the city and ocean! The glass skybridge was very cool. It was not crowded at all. They had a cafe, store, coffee shop, art, plenty of restrooms, etc. Definitely worth stopping!

If included in your 24h busan tour it's a nice change of view to go up here. But it's definitely not worth paying for it. You cannot stand directly at the glass (in some places), the vertical glass is dirty causing big reflexion when taking photos and the floor glass is full of scratches. You cannot see through anymore. In addition 100 floor is quite low elevation compared to other cities possibilities. The absoutely best view you can get from the toilet on 99th floor - last picture😍 Also positive: no need to stand in line even on weekends, not many visitors

Nice exposition, and a good try to make it interactive. Must be amazing for locals, but as a non Korean-speaker I was disappointed to see how little was translated into English. That's a pity, the museum itself if well-organized and I liked the mobile app, wish I could understand more.

Very interesting museum. Not as much English as a non-Korean speaker might like (could supplement w Google Translate). I think there was an app in English but I had trouble downloading. Still very interesting to learn about movie making in Korea. Displays are well laid out and there was a nice interactive “movie making” feature. throughout (especially designed for kids).

It was so-so for a price of 10000₩ per person. Nothing much is really translated into English, which I wouldn't mind if the place wouldn't feel more kids orientated and was actually more focused on Korean movie production. We visited the permanent exhibition and had fun with some of the digital activities for which you need a special card that will be provided when buying tickets, but sometimes we just looked at pictures or tried to translate the text with Google Translate. The souvenir shop was also sooooo pricey, 50000₩ for a small enamel pin that wasn't even a good quality was a first. If you still wanna visit, get your tickets cheaper on Klook or any other provider, it ain't worth full price.

Nice museum with wonderful decoration. We can play little games too here. Bua as a tourist I actullay do not really know the Korean actor and actresses in the museum

This museum is a must in the city of cinema in South Korea. It is a lot of fun and you learn a lot while you are at it. If you go with kids you are gonna enjoy it for sure. I wish they had a shop where you could buy some books about cinema, but there was only some merchandise and most of it was from foreign movies, not korean.

It's interesting museum. Be aware it consists of two parts. They sells a combined ticket. The first on is the regular exhibition on the second and third floor, about movie making and showing in Korea through the years. There was a special exhibition on level B1 about (by the look of it) movie scenes, Alice In Wonderland.

A waste of time if you are tourist and know nothing about hangul. 95% of the signs, informative tables, activities are written or told in Korean and i was so bored with using google translate at some point. Also I did notice that there was no single mention/honour for contemporary giants of Korean cinema like Bong joon ho, Kim ki duk, Park Chan Wook etc. but i saw many avengers, transformers, spidermans. I wish natives can enjoy it.

I often visit the 6th floor, where art exhibitions are held. It's where you can see the latest fashion trends and trends for everyone. Numerous luxury stores strive to attract visitors with their designs and styles. CGV on the 7th floor is the heart of Busan BIFF. It recently underwent a major renovation and is now much larger. The ordering system, designed to reduce wait times for food and beverages, is a unique feature. The exhibition showcases a constantly changing selection of products, reflecting the latest design trends and the latest trends for the upper-middle class. It's the world's largest department store, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. The basement level is directly connected to the subway station and features a variety of fashion pop-up stores. There's also a food court. For shopaholics, this is a must-visit. You won't find a department store like this anywhere in Southeast Asia.

Shinsegae Centum City is massive- easily one of the biggest department stores I’ve ever seen. It has everything: designer brands, high-end cosmetics, cafés, and even a spa and movie theater. It’s clean and well-staffed, but it’s also a bit overwhelming. Prices are what you’d expect for a luxury mall, but the food court and bakery sections are worth exploring. Great for a rainy day or if you want to see Korean retail at its most polished, though it’s more of an experience than a must-see.

Neither my wife nor I are shoppers, but we had to visit Shinsegae - Centum City, the world's largest department store. The interior is stunning; there is everything you would expect in a big mall, and more. The future Olympic figure skaters and short track speed skaters were fun to watch at the ice rink. There is an outdoor dinosaur playground for kids. I tested the honesty of shoppers by leaving my sackpack to reserve a table in the Food Hall while we ordered food. I tried to sneak a look at the private golf driving range, but was thwarted. We enjoyed it even though we did no shopping.

A great mall for discovering popular Korean brands but you can also find all the familiar global luxury brands. Do not miss the food basement!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shinsegae Centum City in Busan is more than just a department store—it’s a full-on lifestyle destination and holds the title of the world’s largest department store. • 15 Centum 4-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan • A connected shopping complex with fashion, lifestyle, and dining options • Explore Centum City Mall •address: 35 Centum nam-daero, Haeundae-gu, Busan • business hours: Open daily from 10:30 AM • Features luxury brands, cosmetics, home goods, and gourmet food • Includes a gallery, cultural hall, and even an indoor ice rink • Visit Shinsegae Centum City

Really nice mall but is close so early 8pm, i didn't have a chance to really explore :( but there is every store you can think of

An upmarket mall is truly welcomed. What’s most appreciated is the mall owner’s consideration to provide lockers for the public to store their bags and even luggages (FOR FREE), so that you can actually shop or window shop with your hands free. This is GENIUS!!! The mall is so big for you to shop and dine without realising it, half a day gone. If you are still energetic, you can even ice skate in the mall. LOVE IT that I was able to entertain myself after getting off a red eye flight, waiting for the time for me to check into my hotel in the afternoon.

Read this before going: We couldn't buy tickets in advance without a Korean number but right before Korean summer vacation we just simply walked in on a weekday. 1. Bring passports (kids) they asked to see the 3 year olds passport (so at least have an image of it) 2. Bring or wear long pants - so you can slide down the pilot airplane. They wouldn't lend us any pants so the kids walked down. 3. Wear close toed shoes - if you plan to climb up the climbing wall for explorer 4. The bank and department store opens right before the end of the sessions (2pm ish and 6pm ish) so if you want to create a bank card or shop, go at that time. 5. The department store only has items 80 and up. 6. In order to drive the Kia car, you must obtain a driver's license first. Don't just sign up for the driving, they won't let you. 7. Certain jobs cost money like making a burger and getting a driver's license and driving a kia. 8. Since you can only reserve one job and must finish the experience before reserving another, you need to cancel something before you choose another. To cancel, you can use any kiosk. Other things to note: they said outside food is prohibited but we saw plenty of locals bringing bentos. Food options inside are limited to Korean stuff that my kids won't eat. Do we went to Lotteria to make a burger for lunch. That worked out fine. The mayonnaise factory made a strange wrap that was not tasty. We have yet to try to ramen we made. Go for the full day, the adults cost the same and the kids cost just 10k more. Instead of 3pm we stayed till 7pm. Towards 7pm it was so empty that we basically just did whatever jobs we wanted again and again. I don't think there's another kidszania as easy as Busan. Before summer holidays there were barely anyone there. There was a rush around 1-3pm and people running to stations stressed me out a little but other than that everything was availalbe. Certain things only opened at 5pm like baby care and 4pm for the police. Maybe because the attendance of low? While the kids are inside you can go around and check all the availalbe times. We enjoyed doing the firefighter a lot and we loved the HD submarine one that is new. We basically did both of those 4-5 times. Don't miss the caramel popcorn, it was actually really really good. Leaving and re-entering is allowed so I even got some shopping done while the kids are inside. Basically they educate and babysit your kids for 20 minutes each session. How nice. A lot of the staff could speak some English and the kids had a blast regardless of the language barriers. Highly recommend Kidszania Busan. Staff was all wonderful as well.

Honestly, I was a little afraid of going here. I took my wife and mother to spa land and wanted to do something fun for the kids and I came across this place. When we got here, They said everything was in Korean and we are not fluent in Korean at all, but we took a chance anyway, and the experience blew me away. The staff were accommodating to my American kids. They were all very welcoming, very friendly and my kids had an amazing time. This is probably the most unique kids attraction that I’ve ever seen. I like the fact that it’s all about learning and interaction with the many different jobs that they may come across. It is a little bit intimidating if you don’t speak Korean, but in the end, the experience was 10 out of 10.

Great place to take your kids. Lots of things to do. On the pricier side but it's worth it to at least experience once. Expect to spend the entire day here if you want your kids to the experience everything.

Absolutely packed to the gills with kids. Wiating for each experience was 1 hour minimum and fast passes were sold out. We arrived at 9:00, 45 minutes before gates opened but should have come earlier to assure passes. The place was clean though and they didnt hassle patrons that didnt wear mask.

Very similar with other Kidzania around the world with a Korean touch. Personally I think this is much better system than kidzania in Japan as you don't need to register. Just queue up before the schedule time of the "job". Location is not easy to find. Its on the smaller building. All activities are in Korean but most activities should be OK.

Not a good place if you don't speak Korean. Our daughter is 14, well traveled, and confident so we assumed that she'd have fun despite the language barrier. Wrong. To really participate in most of the activities you must be able to speak Korean.

There are variety of jobs to experience for kids with educated and frienldy staffs. But it needs waiting for 30 mins each jobs which feels waste of time although it depends on situations.

Nice park with a cable car to the top of the mountain. The way to the observatory is not very obvious - when you step out of the cable car, go left behind the cafe and climb up 250 meters.

You can climb up the highest mountain around Busan by a vintage cable car system and observe probably the best view of the city. Near the top station an observatory place and a little buddhist hermitage is available to explore. If you want more hiking you can walk 1,2 km in the woods to reach south gate of an ancient castle. Above the cable car station there is a little restaurant with a rooftop, and a lovely lady cooks for you.

I loved this place, peacefully and quiet. Very pleasant to walk, there are rest areas. If you're not tired enough to walk 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️you can do some sport 🥵😉

The view is very nice! It is so convenient as cable car is provided. People can see the whole city of Busan by taking the cable car to the top of mountain. Good to go 👍🏻👍🏻

The park was really comfortable. The air was fresh. The gondola was really nice! You can see the whole Busan in the cable car.

Nice place Tracking and nature place Ropeway also there Sports club also there to play

Loved visiting here! Definitely recommend taking the cable car to get a super cool view of Busan

This trail is a highlight and we enjoyed walking it immensely. The only day we had available for this was excessively hot, which made it a challenge so we started at the southern end and walked North to get the steepest climbs out of the way early. Obviously carry water and consider that the 170m of elevation gain includes many many stairs. If you need to exit the trail there is a point about half way along where a short flight of 20-25 stairs leads you up to the roadway. THIS IS NOT VISIBLE ON GOOGLE MAPS. So you will need to use Naver maps and consider an app like Pocket Earth also.

I think I’d underestimated this trail a bit. I thought it was gonna be a 1-hour hike but ended up taking almost 3 hours. I was exhausted. Still enjoyed it (except for the last kilometer where I was just struggling) and the views were lovely! Recommend doing this hike :)

Is a trail that has everything. Unpaved trails through the forest, reinforced paths, broad walks and plenty of stairs. Be prepared with some snacks and enjoy the day!! I definitely did!!

A charming scenic walk along the coast. There are quite a few stairs so you can burn off some of the calories you consumed in Busan. The path is well maintained without being boring or unnatural feeling. It’s very peaceful and relaxing walking through the forest. At either end of the walk there are cafes so you can treat yourself after your hike. There are loads of lookout points throughout the trail. The main trail has red markings along the way. We hiked in summer and it poured down on us. A kind Korean lady must’ve felt sorry for me and gave me her spare umbrella at the end of the trail so, thank you kind stranger. Don’t be like me. Bring a raincoat or an umbrella

One of the highlights in Busan. Great scenery, moderate trail not idea for little children or the elderly. I’ll let the pictures speak for itself.

The trail has a lot of potential, but there are some annoying aspects that hold it back. The good points are the stunning views and extensive foliage. The annoying part is the trail path itself. Some legs of the trail have even steps and walkways but many parts have dangerous rocks jetting out of the earth. It’s very easy to trip over these rocks and tree roots. It would help if they laid some rope tarps over the bumps to even things out. The trail is also too narrow and because it can get crowded, this creates bottlenecks and traffic jams. If they rebuilt this trail more evenly, wider and with consistent guardrails, it would make the hike a much more enjoyable experience.

Very nice and easy coastal trail. The views are incredibly stunning. The trail is well kept and there are not too many people even on the weekend. The trail is around 6km long and we took 2 hours to complete it (with many breaks in between to take pictures). If you go to Busan and have extra free time, this trail is highly recommended

Club D Oasis is a good place to play in an indoor water park and an outdoor water park. The swimming pool has a fantastic view of the longest beach in Korea the Haeundae beach. When you buy a ticket it's just an entrance fee not included with everything yet, once you enter inside the bills are kept on coming such as paying for your seat or chair to rest. Paying for the life jacket so you could enjoy the water activities. There are too many hidden charges. I went here last year in August 2024 and it's such a good experience.

My First Jjimjilbang Experience in Korea A Jjimjilbang is a unique Korean spa designed to promote health and relaxation by helping the body release toxins through heat. The Facilities & Process: Upon arrival, you receive a locker for your shoes. After that, you proceed to the gender-separated locker rooms to store your clothes and belongings. The spa provides comfortable clothes to wear in the main, mixed-gender areas. The Bathing & Sauna Experience: · Sauna Rooms: They offer a variety of dry and steam saunas with different temperatures, suitable for everyone from beginners to seasoned visitors. This includes a traditional hot stone steam room. · Hot Spring Pools: The indoor hot spring baths are located in the gender-separated areas and require you to be nude, following local custom. · Outdoor Pool: There is also a mixed-gender outdoor hot spring where a swimsuit is required. If you don't have one, you can still enjoy soaking your feet.

A very cool spa that is kids friendly, tourist friendly and feels like a five-star resort. Club D Oasis could be better, or even surpass, the Signiel pool in the same building and even the pool at Park Hyatt where we stayed. The space is massive, with multiple zones to explore. There is a cafe and Jacuzzis at the same level as the changing area. Steam and spa rooms are on the upper level. And a large water play zone is on the lower level. We kept discovering new corners as we went. The water park area seems much bigger than the spa. We easily spend hours to relax and enjoy Clubd Oasis. The outdoor infinity pool offers one of the best view of Haeundae Beach, and we probably overstayed there just soaking in the scenery. Tips: bring along a swimming cap to access the pool area. Life vests are available for rent. Prices are on the higher side, especially once you add extras. Some of the younger kids’ areas were closed during our visit. For tourists, it’s worth reading up on jjimjilbang beforehand, as there are no English instructions. And do respect the Korean culture.

Worth rating 4.5, uses VBPass to redeem the tickets, and can stay up to 4 hours at the Spa 5-6/F. Arrived on Sunday early morning, and it's great to relax on the hot stone spa before check-in at the hotel. If it can provide more resting armchairs or sunbeds, then it would be perfect. Since all Koreans will occupy the seats for hours.

I went on a weekday and there were a lot of people. There were a lot of foreigners. The water wasn't very clean, maybe because there were a lot of people. But I still had fun. The water in the wave pool was a little cold, but the other pools were warm.

Great Korean-style spa/bathhouse/sauna with indoor and outdoor waterpark. I only went to the spa area. Male-only baths were clean and fantastic to soak in with a great view of the ocean. Outdoor bath area was great to lounge in and sip their homemade chocolate milk. Rest area was large but honestly could have used more chairs and beanbags. Great relaxing spot to bring the family and kids!

1. For those holding Busan pass , only can use Sauna area which starts at 1pm 2. Water park look impressive 3. Sauna experience is awesome with many varieties, however go early or it will be crowded after 3pm 4. Space not as big as Spa Land if you want for a relax corner.

Drop at this station if you want to visit the largest malls in Busan! Shinsegae and Lotte have entrances underground just right next to the station.

this store is world best number 1

Good city

Went there just before 11am on Sunday morning, the place was crowded though the queue run pretty fasts, we waited less than 10 minutes. Services was great, all staff were friendly. Dumpling and the dry cold noodles were 👍👍👍. Best dumpling I’ve had in this trip.

For me as a foreigner it was alright Quick, tasty and cheap They bring you the menu straight away You order And food appears with a lightning speed For both dishes I paid 14k won which is like 8,5€ or 10$ Note: ask for a glove to eat dumplings as they are huge and juicy inside

nice and good food. sweet, spicy, and tasty cold noodle. busan people are good, service is perfect, the waiter is very helpful. nearbu haeundae beach, and lots of fortune teller, massage, gacha games, etc

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Choryang Milmyeon (aka. 초량밀면) •mil-myeon (wheat noodles) •address : 225 Jungang-daero, Dong-gu, Busan • Known as one of Busan’s “Top 3 Milmyeon” spots • Famous for bibim milmyeon and king-sized dumplings • Budget-friendly (₩1–10,000) • Opens at 10 AM

Choryang Milmyeon (초량밀면) 225 Jungang-daero, Dong-gu, Busan, South Korea Choryang Milmyeon is a must-visit if you’re in Busan and curious about local flavors. This spot serves up milmyeon, Busan’s iconic cold wheat noodles, and does it with simple perfection. The noodles are cooked al dente, slightly chewy, and served in a mildly sweet, chilled broth that’s incredibly refreshing—especially on a hot day. What makes this place extra special are the custom sauces: one with a wasabi or horseradish kick, and another with vinegar, allowing you to tweak the flavor to your exact liking. It’s interactive eating that enhances the experience without overcomplicating things. It’s also super affordable, making it perfect for travelers who want a quick, local bite without breaking the budget. And if you’ve only had naengmyeon in Seoul, this is a must-try. Busan’s take is totally different—heartier, bolder, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

a popular cold noodle specialist in busan known by locals & tourists! their menu only consists of 3 options – cold noodles, spicy cold noodles & dumplings. the signature mul-milmyeon was a very refreshing bowl with chewy cold noodles that had a strong wheat flavour. with the dollop of gochujang sauce on top, it was rather mild, perfect for those like me who can’t handle spice. the dumplings were gigantic, flavourful & stuffed! overall a comforting meal that’s very affordable too! 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙: ❛ mul-milmyeon (wheat noodles in cold broth) (₩7000) ❛ wang mandu (large dumplings) (₩7000) 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡: 7.5/10 — 📍 Choryang Milmyeon 초량밀면 (several branches) 225 Jungang-daero, Dong-gu, Busan

I have to say honestly that I didn't like the dish milmyeon. Probably because it's an acquired taste. But don't get me wrong, I love other Korean foods esp. jiggaes. For Koreans probably it's good since the place is crowded when I went in. Service crews were really helpful and somehow understands English.

A famous night market in Busan, I arrived on Wednesday night, it seems that the market is active on the weekend or why when I came to it, it was quite deserted, many food stalls were closed. Customers and visitors are few. Probably will be busy at the weekend.

Great market to spend time walking around. General name is Gukje Market. We visited on a very hot day. Best place to go then is the covered parts.

OMG this is really amazing market with crazy a lot of delicious food. Personally I think this is a must try market when you visit Korea. No need to plan to find food elsewhere if you come. Just come and eat here. Must try the injulmi cream bread with red bean paste, super delicious. They put yellow bean powder on top also. This is one of the signature food in Korea. The bread style is more fluffy than the other pancake style. I ordered both, and take away haha.

Many many stores inside the very hugh market building selling clothes, food, junk food, seafood, dry goods, fruits etc etc. This place can takes hours if slowly checking through the goods sell. It's connected to Jagalci Streets which is very very happening at nights with many restaurants, shops, hawker stalls etc etc.

Many alleys , everything from food to crockery , you can find at very reasonable prices. Great visit much do …

The market was walkable from Jungang station (though it was a bit far). It was next to Gukje market. Personally, I think Bupyeong may be the best market to explore in Busan for the tourists. Local dishes, especially fish cake, were everywhere in the market. Nice place to spend an hour or so in Busan!

Traditional market selling your ingredients u can get for ur home cooked food. There are also stalls where u can rest your foot by eating

I had the assorted dumplings. Good value for money. The dumplings were good, but not like the best. You may wait in line to dine in.

We had various plates, including the assorted dumplings, and although tasty, but somewhat with little distinction in flavors, it's not a place I, as Westerner, would be cueing again for half an hour. This is because it's not a place I felt I could leisurely enjoy my food, I was told by the server I have to order all at once.

The wait wasn’t too bad on a Weds afternoon but I don’t know if it would have been worth it if the wait wasn’t really long. The dumplings were crispy and had good flavor. It was solid.

Steam and fried dumplings. Prawn ones taste better. Mala is spicy and good

The taste does not justify the wait. If you're expecting Taiwanese or Chinese dumplings, this is not it. It's more Korean than Chinese. Service and atmosphere is good but this is not destination worthy, nor line worthy

So busy and thus we used the takeout place ylto test their famous dumplings (fried, steamed, beef, shrimp, etc.). I think I had a too big of an expectation! They were not as good as I expected. Certainly, they were different than what I longed for from my childhood years, larger deep fried or steamed dumplings from good Chinese Korean restaurants! An excellent example is the Fried Dumpling served at "Golden Buddha" in Atlanta (Decatur), Georgia USA, which has remained the same for over 30 years. If I were to pick the best of Sinbalwon dumplings, it would be the steamed beef dumplings.

We were craving dumplings and this shops was listed in our guide. We had steamed dumplings and cucumber salads along with oolong tea. All were tasty. This is more a quick bite type of restaurant as you only have few dishes and eat fast and leave. But for this purpose it was perfect. Definitely recommend and it was yummy

We had a good stay at Lotte Hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly upon our arrival. It was off to a good start. The hotel room was spacious, comfortable, and had a good view. Unfortunately the bathroom was a little bit dark and the shower curtain wasn't effective. Like others mentioned, the location of the hotel was very convenient and central. The elevator takes a while to arrive. We didn't use the pool so we can't comment on the associated fee. The breakfast buffet offers a good variety.

This is a nice hotel in a good location. Housekeeping was good. All employees we interacted with were pleasant and professional. Breakfast is very nice with lots of options. The bathroom lighting is dismal—it’s so dim it’s hard to see. Also, an upscale hotel should not have plastic shower curtains in the tub. But overall we were happy with our stay and would recommend this hotel.

We are staying at the Lotte Busan today ( 24-09-2025) I booked online and upgraded the room to a Premier room ( 100$ cad more than the regular room) because the premier room has the to the pool . The only reason for our one night trip was to use the pool . When we arrived it was explained to us that the pool was closed today . We went to talk to the lady at the front desk to explained to her that we paid 100$ more just to access the pool and that we would’ve gotten a regular rate room if we would’ve of known the pool was closed . We asked the lady at the desk if there was anything she could do to compensate us , at least refund us the upgrade on the room . She didn’t seem very concerned or made any effort to compensate us, she just kept saying go tomorrow morning when we told her multiple times we where leaving in the morning . I also wanna make clear that when I booked months ago I made a point of going on their website and verifying that we didn’t book during the pool closure . We don’t usually stay in fancy hotels like this one because it’s a big splurge for us and we are very disappointed in the level of service we got.

Stayed here for a night for business travel, the room view was at 33nd floor is amazing. I got a corner room so its a plus. The room is spacious, and clean. Very convenient location, also connected to an upscale Lotte Mall. Service is efficient and friendly, the breakfast has a massive selection of international and korean options. The banquet hall is located at 41st and 42nd floor, and has an amazing view. I will definitely recommend this hotel in Busan.

Originally booked this room as we thought it was close to the beach (it wasn’t, no problem). However, once we discovered dust and multiple dirty things around the room we checked out as our child is allergic to dust. The hotel still charged us $180 though we didn’t use the room. They initially lied saying we used the bathtub (our luggage was in the car and no one is bathing for 20 minutes). I contacted management and they’ve yet to get back to me, it’s been a year since I reached out. However, they did resell the room, which I’m sure is illegal. How are you not giving me back my money, but someone else is paying to occupy the room as well? Mind you, we had two rooms, so if we stayed there, why not charge for both, correct? If you are a tourist or military, stay far away from this place. The lobby was nice and clean, but once we got to the room that standard was not present.

Jason H and Lily A were very helpful and really went out of their way to answer our questions and get us answers. The rooms were perfect. Service was perfect and even when our safe was locked, they sent someone within 5 mins. I will always stay here when I come to Busan.

My first maiden stay with Lotte Busan and likely to be the last time staying here. Although, they upgrade us to a deluxe suite their front service crew service is appalling. This evening, while approaching the hotel lobby I approach one of the male service crews and asked any restaurants nearby where I can go for dinner as I had yet to consume my dinner. The male service crew turn surly n replied me rudely what restaurants and sounded very angry as if I have asked an offensive question. There is no service recovery to clarify my question or refer to someone else who can speak English. Very bad experience especially on your first night at Busan and have not consumed dinner till this late hour.

It is a small temple. But nice!

(Translated by Google) Dongrae Chungnyeolsa Temple is a shrine that commemorates Song Sang-hyeon, his companions, and female maids who died during the Japanese invasions of Korea. In 1605, Song Sang-hyeon was ancestral rites, and in 1624, Chungnyeolsa Temple received the royal tribute. In 1652 (the 3rd year of King Hyojong's reign), it was moved to its current location and operated as Anakseowon. We honor all those who died during the Japanese invasions of Korea in 1709 (the 35th year of King Sukjong’s reign). Through continuous maintenance, there are currently 15 buildings on a 28,980 pyeong site. The buildings include Chungnyeolsa Temple (shrine, 89 shrines), Uiyeolgak (4 shrines), memorial hall, Sojuldang, Naesammun and Oesammun.

(Translated by Google) This is the place where Toyotomi Hideyoshi enshrines those who died when he dispatched troops to Korea. Officially, you may have to go up a long flight of stairs, but if you find it difficult, it may be easier to go up the slope on the left. There is a pond with a central island, and depending on the time of year, flowers bloom, so I saw many people walking around the area as if it were a park. There was also a small museum-like place along the way. (Original) 豊臣秀吉が朝鮮出兵の際亡くなった方々を祀っている場所です。 正式には長い階段を上がるべきかもしれませんが、大変な場合には左側の坂道を上がって行くと楽です。 中島のある池があったり、時期によっては花も咲くので公園感覚で散歩している方を何人も見かけました。 途中小さな博物館のような場所もありました。

(Translated by Google) This shrine honors the patriotic martyrs who died fighting the Japanese during the Imjin War. It is located at 345 Chungnyeol-daero (Anrak-dong), Dongrae-gu, Busan. Originally named Songgongsa (宋公祠), it honored Song Sang-hyeon, the Dongrae magistrate who led the Battle of Dongrae Fortress. In 1624, at the suggestion of Lee Min-gu, the Seonwisa (Seonwisa), it was renamed Chungnyeolsa, and its function as a seowon (Confucian academy) was also enshrined. It was later moved to its current location in 1652, and various annexes were added, adding to its function as a seowon (Confucian academy). Since then, the number of memorial tablets enshrined here has continued to grow, including those of Jo Yeong-gyu, who died alongside Song Sang-hyeon in the Battle of Dongrae Fortress; Yun Heung-sin, who died in the Battle of Dadaepo; and Jeong Un, who died in the Battle of Busanpo. Currently, it enshrines 93 memorial tablets. It is one of the 47 seowon nationwide exempted from Heungseon Daewongun's decree to abolish seowon. A memorial service is held annually on May 25th. As a place to honor the spirits of those who sacrificed their lives for the nation, making Busan what it is today, it's one of the places where local figures, such as the Busan Mayor and the Dongrae District Mayor, pay their respects on special occasions like New Year's Day or the day after an election, much like the Seoul National Cemetery in Seoul.

Dropped by this outlet mall in the afternoon. This is a pretty big shopping mall area with lots of brand name stores to choose from. Nice, clean and well maintained. Quit me busy in the weekend but lots of parking mugs and easy to come via transits and local bus. It is connected to the Lotte Mall as well. Thus, you can stay on the Lotte Mall for the regular shopping mall experience. Like Uniqlo, etc. Save some money 😊

No English maps for foreigners and different to buy worthy goods. They serve locals only that make other countries visitors inconvenient.

Opens from 10:30am - 9pm. Has most brands here. The place is clean and spacious. Unfortunately, food variety is a little limited for the size of an outlet mall. Taxi stand is near Gucci, at gate 2.

The Busan outlet mall offers an extensive selection of shopping choices within its vast premises, featuring both indoor and outdoor sections. Additionally, it houses a Lotte mart, various dining establishments, and a food court. Yet, it closes early, and its distance from the city can pose a challenge for non-driving tourists, especially when returning to the hotel with numerous purchases. Nonetheless, it’s a favourable destination for locals and tourists seeking discounted items.

Highly recommend this outlet because a) its not far from city compared to the other outlet and b) the food from their food court was very yummy. The food court is clean, clear, bright, and staff from the stalls we bought are friendly and helpful. This outlet has most of the major premium brands such as Valentino, Max Mara, BV etc you name it. The stock in each shop is not those dated ones. Impressed by their selection. Moreover, its not far from city, its pretty easy to book a cab ( i use kakao T app).

**This is not a discount mall** by most people’s definition. Each of the stores has impressive “20-90% off” stickers on their windows, but the reality is that most things are at full price with no real discounts. Save yourself a trip and head to a regular mall close to where you live.

A medium sized outlet mall with both outdoor and indoor areas. Most items are only slightly cheaper (if any), and I only found some shops offering good bargains, e.g., Fila. But it is still a nice shopping mall to spend an afternoon.

A nice Costco to visit when you're on holidays. Can get in with a day pass using your international Costco number if you forget to bring your card. Soju is incredibly cheap, various seafood and meat and samples given out as well.

Clean, friendly staff, and they have a great variety of meats and food. I was expecting more American options and didn’t see that many so I knocked one star… but overall, they do have a lot of things and it’s similar to Costco in America which is awesome. We drove here from Okpo which took about an hour. Parking is easy. It does get extremely busy in the afternoon so might be best to come early in the morning.

Despite prominent signage and a sandwich board displaying open hours 10A-10P, I went here today and they were completely closed at 6pm. Please update your hours to be correct.

It's generally what you could expect from a Costco store, good variety of national and international products and decent prices most of the time. Most of the prices tags have translation to English, those are very helpful to get an idea of what the product is if you don't speak Korean and there is no image on the product. The food court has a good service, pizza is good, ₩2,500 for a big slice, the downside/brightside is that due to Covid they don't allow you to eat in there. There is a service related to tires and car stuff. There are a few bus stops near the place so you can get there on public transport. Metro stations are far, the closest one could be Mangmi Station from line 3. There are also taxis waiting outside the building in case you don't have a car or don't want to take public transportation to go back. Generally a good option to get supplies and groceries.

It's very similar to Costco in the States, but the prices are much higher for imported products. Bring cash because purchases are paid in cash unless you have Costco credit cards.

I had a successful trip to Costco with my coworkers. We got a lot of cheese and snacks. We also had to stop by the food court to get pizza and a chicken bake.

Just like Costco in the United States, except with bulk Korean and American products. They had fantastic bulk Korean products that were ready made, like soups you can heat up and eat, and frozen foods like dumplings. They also had American products, like croissants and bagels in the bakery. They have a huge assortment of Korean electronics, including air purifiers, fridges, and vacuums. There's also tons of wine.

Please remove the live animals or just have small, solitary species. The first two floors were as you'd expect from a natural history museum and it was relatively interesting. But I can't believe the cruelty of humankind with the live animals kept on the last floor. I wasn't expecting there to be live animals and kept in such cruel conditions. It's one thing keeping snakes and small tortoises, but there were crocodiles living miserably in a tank with just enough room to turn around. I really can't believe that no one else has commented on this anywhere. How cruel and unempathetic humans are. It's lovely that the first two floors and educative and talk about saving the environment in the future, but so, so, so awful that the live animals are mistreated, living their entire lives in such a small space with no stimulation to their day except screaming kids banging on the glass. Many were overweight and it's no wonder. I'm so disappointed. I hope it can be rectified - there's no value added by having the living creatures over more taxidermy.

Great museum. Some live exotic mammals close up for viewing. And can't believe this place is free .

Nature is right in front of your eyes. Take a close look at living snakes, crocodiles, turtles, doctor fish, and more. It's a highly educational experience and it's free of charge.

Some of the displays are outdated and shabby. However, the reptile exhibits are pretty good for a free zoo/museum. The location isn't easy to get to, but the surrounding parks are quite nice.

Beautiful view, lots of hiking.

Decent old school museum full of marine life specimens. A pleasant few minutes but not a destination unless you have kids fascinated with sea creatures.

Nice place for marine life. My kids loved this place. But it doesn't have a parking lot. u have to park ur car at the parking lot which is near the museum.

I visited this rooftop café about 3 years ago, and I still remember how peaceful and beautiful the ocean view was. The rooftop looks out directly over the sea and Cheongsapo lighthouse — such a perfect spot to relax in the late afternoon. The drinks

Nice quiet place to chill. This neighborhood is very small so not much else to check out. Great views of the bridge and lighthouse from the rooftop. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Food wasn’t bad but not the cheapest cafe.

A cool cafe located by Cheongsapo station! There’s not a lot of baked goods / food options, but the coffee is great and the aesthetic is on point. Great views as well. It was too windy to sit on the rooftop when I visited, but absolutely still worth a quick look to enjoy the view of the city and the ocean. Would recommend!

Such a nice cafe. The good point is the ocean view, like watching the sunset. The decoration and overall atmosphere is so relaxed. The desert and cafe options are also good, although a bit pricey. The cafe opens at 11 am and closes at 10 pm. Get there early to avoid crowds and take good photos. Recommended.

The view at this place is absolutely stunning. When we went there it was not too crowded and there are two floors to stay. The chocolate cake (7 000 Won) as well as the Passionfruit Ade (6 800 Won) tasted really good. The cake was not too sweet and the ade was refreshing. The iced peppermint (6 000 Won) was nothing special. I would recommend this place and visit it again.

I cannot Rave about this Cafe enough! It is so gorgeously decorated oh, I felt like I was in a boutique hotel. As soon as you walk in the doors, you're Blown Away by the layout and Decor of the cafe, not to mention the amazing view! If you are looking for a place for some nice photos, there are a ton of different options in this Cafe. I personally loved the main floor, but there's also a rooftop with some really cute couch areas, picnic tables, and photozone!

Beautiful cafe designed for people who love taking pictures for Instagram. Their rooftop is super pretty with sofa beds facing the ocean and their second floor balcony is really cool overlooking the Cheongsapo beach. The host lady is extremely sweet and hospitable. If you like taking pictures, this is definitely a lit place!
