Best Experiences in Busan

A 5.65-kilometer walking course along the Oncheoncheon stream linking Dongnae's hot-spring district, Myeongnyun 1-ga, and a cafe street of about 150 cafes, eateries, and workshops, with a standing stamp tour and cherry-blossom and canola flowers in spring.

A food town in Geumseong-dong by Geumjeong Mountain Fortress known for the local specialties black-goat bulgogi, grilled directly over charcoal, and Sanseong makgeolli, Korea's first folk liquor; around 80 eateries serve goat, duck, and other dishes.

A community enterprise run by local artists, indie publishers, and ceramists native to Busanjin-gu, created to remember Jeonpo-dong amid redevelopment; its 'Busan Chwihyang' fragrance line evokes local memories and it runs scent-therapy and sampling programs.

A coastal fishing village in Gijang-gun on the clear East Sea, linked to Haeundae and Songjeong beaches and well served by road and the Donghae Nambu rail line; its name derives from a 'gongsujeon', a Goryeo-era field that funded official lodging and travel.

An open-air street-food alley in Changseon-dong's Gukje Market with over 60 years of history, serving chungmu gimbap with spicy squid, tteokbokki, noodle soup, sundae, bibim dangmyeon, and patbingsu from stools along the market lanes.

A pedestrian theme street completed for Gwangalli Beach's 2003 reopening, lined with artificial palms, sculptures, and benches along the shore road from Namcheon-dong to Millak, divided into romance, sunrise-plaza, and youth zones with views of Gwangan Bridge at night.

A clothing and footwear street built over a covered stream, running from the Nonghyup Busan branch to the Gukje Market food alley; long lined with apparel shops, it hosts the annual Gwangbok-ro Winter Light Tree Festival each December.

A long-running grilled-tripe alley just outside Exit 10 of Jagalchi Station near Jagalchi Market, where charcoal-grilled beef tripe is served salted, marinated, or as hot pot, often from several eateries housed within a single shopfront.

The bus stop where actor and singer IU stood in the trailer for the film 'Broker', beside the phone booth she used to call police; its red brick, faded murals, and narrow sidewalks recall 1990s Busan, drawing film fans for photos near Jeonpo Cafe Street.

A formerly tool-shop district between Seomyeon and Bujeon stations turned youth hotspot, where old hardware stores have been remodeled into distinctive cafes, eateries, and gift shops; a 2023 project added night lighting that makes it livelier after dark.

A culture-and-arts complex opened in September 2020 as part of KT&G's social-contribution work, spanning five basement to thirteen above-ground floors themed PLAY (studios, cafe, gallery, performance hall), CO-WORK (creator and startup spaces), and REFRESH (lodging, cinema, rooftop).

A job-experience theme park for children on floors 4 to 6 of Shinsegae Centum City Mall, opened in April 2016 as Korea's second KidZania, offering about 60 professional role-play activities through partnerships with companies and public bodies.
