Things to do in Busan

Our guide Brent sent me the meeting point info one day before the trip. Our guide Brent spoke perfect English which helped a lot. The journey to the temple took one hour. Brent explained to us the history and structure of the temple. After the temple visit, we moved onto the children's highlight of sky capsule train. They had the most fun from this ride. The ride too half an hour. To me, it was sufficient for us to enjoy the view as the little train only moving at 10km/hour. The lunch was average as we felt the food flavour quite plain. After the ride, we went to the UN Memorial Cemetery. This historical tour was a very good educational tour and helped us to understand why North and South Korea have been separated. The children listened and watched the video in full concentration. We ended our tour at the Gamcheon Cultural Village. It was a nice experience as I could connect the drama scene into real life. Brent also gave us postcard which could enhance our memory of this place.

We love our tour guide Victoria. She picked us in a van since we were the only passengers for this tour. Victoria made the tour so enjoyable that we felt like we were hanging out with a friend instead. She recommended us a good restaurant for lunch and gave us a free tour spot at Cheongsapo Daritdol Skywalk. She even helped to arrange for the driver to pick us up at the other side of the Busan cable car ride because we suddenly decide to buy a one way tickets ride on the day. She also gave us free gifts of post cards and shopping coupons. She even became our personal photographer and videographer. Thank you Victoria 💕

The Visit Busan Pass is value for money as it allows you to visit multiple attractions for one price. You will need to plan your route to maximise the number of attractions you can visit within the time limit.

Buying tickets in advance made things smooth. You can only board once at each station, but the distance between stations is short enough to walk, so it's fine. Upo, Cheongsapo, and Songjeong are staffed stations where your ticket is scanned when you board. If you buy a ticket that allows you to board multiple times at each station, you need to decide whether ① to get off and look around at each station on the way there and then ride to the end without getting off on the way back, or ② to ride to the end without getting off on the way there and then get off and look around at each station on the way back. You can get off at any station, but you can only board once at each station.

My family and I had an amazing time visiting the Songdo Air Cruise and the Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge. The entire experience was smooth, scenic, and absolutely memorable. The cable car ride offered stunning views of the coastline and the city—truly a highlight for both adults and teenagers in our family. The cabins were clean, comfortable, and felt very safe. We enjoyed every moment of the ride, especially the panoramic views from above. The Yonggung Suspension Bridge was another great experience. The walk was easy and enjoyable, with refreshing sea breeze and beautiful scenery all around. The bridge felt sturdy and well-maintained, giving us a fun mix of adventure and comfort. We took lots of photos and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. Overall, this was a wonderful family outing—scenic, relaxing, and a perfect way to enjoy Busan’s coastal beauty. Highly recommended for families looking for something fun, safe, and unforgettable!

other than a boo-boo (miscommunication) with my wife, supposed to meet at the meeting point straight after bathing (she forgot and enjoyed the water spa while we waited for 20mins) the place was huge and maybdifferent sauna rooms to explore. from icy to steaming. the instant noodle with buffet toppings was good as well. would go back again if I was in busan.

We were able to buy a ticket through Klook Pass Busan and use it for the following day. We just changed the ticket for a physical ticket at the ticketing booth and we were able to go twice! Sad that there were only 2 route options since the Wind and Marine routes were closed due to maintenance but overall experience was smooth and great!

One of the things I look forward on my busan trip and it did not disappoint! I enjoyed a lot of interactive activities that involved and the shark feeding time is so cute. Right outside is the Haeundae Beach so I was also able to take a moments in the sea. 🌊🪼🫶🏻

Been up a lot of city towers. This one was definitely one of the best. For starters, there are sections where you're right up against the glass, so can get an extremely clear view of the surrounds. Secondly, there is plenty up there to keep you occupied - even an outdoor section so you can feel the wind at the 98th floor. The restaurant didn't appear as luxe as we thought it might be, so we're glad we opted for a regular ticket. But also, there is a lounge area, where we had a free soju tasting and delicious food with a wonderful host! We arrived in the afternoon, but ended up staying for sunset! It's pretty incredible seeing Haeundae Beach and the neighbouring mountains from that height. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Busan!
