Things to do in South Korea

Be sure to finalize your itinerary first and confirm which attractions you will actually visit to see if the total cost exceeds 85,000 KRW, making it worth buying the pass. Because our itinerary wasn't planned out until right before departure, I kept hesitating on whether to get the pass. In the end, we decided to have seafood at Gijang, so for the daytime, we arranged to visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple (free), then walked over to ride the luge (1), and walked to Lotte World Adventure Busan (2) while browsing the Lotte Department Store. All of these are nearby. Just the admission fee for the theme park for this day, plus the luge, and Spa Land (3) inside Shinsegae Department Store on the second day already exceeded 85,000 KRW. Even though we only used it for these three spots, it was still a great deal. PS: Remember to go on a non-holiday in South Korea, otherwise many places will have huge lines just from waiting. We planned our attractions for a Monday and Tuesday; the amusement park had very few people, and the spa land wasn't crowded either.

An amusement park that's bigger than expected. You first enter a building with three floors. On the bottom floor, there's an ice rink for ice skating. On the first and second levels, there are roller coasters like a ship, Sinbad Adventure, and 3D roller coasters. A parade with K-pop music also takes place in the building. However, we recommend going up the rocks as early as possible to get to Magic Island outside. There, you'll find roller coasters for adults, such as the Haunted House (admission for this attraction costs extra and can be purchased at the castle). The indoor area is more for children. The food stalls are super delicious. We recommend the churros and the yogurt snack. We visited on a Monday, and the wait times were really short in the early morning/afternoon. In the late afternoon, however, you might have to wait for half an hour.

Easy to use. Check in to get your queue number 20 minutes beforehand, and they will start calling the numbers 10 minutes before your scheduled time. Before riding, they will scan your voucher and take your photo, which you can view in the exit area if you want to purchase it. To get your queue number, approach the staff member announcing the numbers.

we had a smooth experience from cable car ticketing to riding it, and to the observatory. we landed just a few steps up to the viewing deck at the foot of the tower. we were lucky to catch the guard show at the beacon hill siye. tho i missed out on the info that were was a bus to and from the cable car station, so do ask ahead of time to save you from the uphill walk.

Had an amazing day overall & AJ had so much energy that it was impossible not to stay engaged. Best guide i've ever had by far, quite likely the best in the universe & she definitely didn't ask me to say that. Highly recommended day for all. 5 stars.

Smooth entry. No need to line up. I will recommend going there during the golden hours from 6:00-7:00pm. Give enough time though for the museum located at the ground floor before heading up. Insightful experience.🙂

Got there on a Monday to see my beloved Bao Family 🐼 up close. Although schools were off near Chuseok, it was still relatively quite comfortable to explore Everland on a Monday. I wouldn't say it's too crowded. It's also easy to use, as there is no need to convert the tickets at the counter. The QR code provided can be used to enter Everland directly.

If you’re a fan of saunas, you’ll enjoy this place. 4 wasn’t enough. If you arrive early, you can come straight here before checking in.

They have lockers& the bath area also has good-quality liquid soap, shampoo, conditioner&skincare products,as well as a hairdryer,so you can change clothes,check in and roam around.

There’s also a games room inside, with games costing 1k won each. Other food is also available. Don’t buy water, as there’s some on the other side of the restaurant, so explore before ordering. A massage chair costs an additional 3,500 won. The fish spa costs 5k won. The massage and nail salon also charge extra.

As a solo traveler, this was such a fun experience, even sharing a cable car with strangers. We ooo’ed and ahh’ed as the cable car took us over water, alongside Songdo beach. I wanted to spend more time around Amnam park but I was short on time and it was way too hot for a brisk hike. The return trip was just as lovely and comfortable.

David was my guide for the tour. He is very engaging and explained the sights to see. He also sent a list of recommended restaurants near my hotel. Tour is also well planned and not rushed. Highly recommended!

A recommended one! Enjoyable & so much fun. Performance was great with dances, acrobatic, and various fun themes. All of the performers were talented, wonderful showmanship & hot of course. Great for group of girl friends or even solo. A must experience, so glad I experienced this one! Hope in future they allow purchase of after show photo oops be an added bonus!

Easy to use Klook ticket and we were able to book it on the same day! The views from Busan X the Sky were amazing. I recommend coming early when it opens or around midday so you have more time to enjoy the place, especially if you want to stay longer at the Starbucks on the highest floor. Definitely worth a visit! so many korean starbucks exclusive merch and lots of kpop merch!
