Best things about Busan
The Busan train station is so close to the cruise terminal you can walk between the two. The most time-efficient way to see the city is to hop on the Busan City Tour Bus. The bus stop is just in front of Busan Station and you can freely get on and off at the bus stops on the red, green, blue and yellow lines with a one-day pass. You have to make a reservation to take the night tour bus but during the day you can simply purchase a pass from the bus driver, which is 15,000 won (about $13) for adults and 8,000 won (about $7) for children.
I got on the red line tour bus that passes by Haeundae Beach, one of the most popular spots in Busan. The red line bus tour takes about two hours and you'll see most of Busan's popular attractions on this line. On the bus, the audio guide kindly describes the sites as you pass. Riding on the open-air upper deck of the double-decker tour bus, I felt so close to the sky ... and it was like being on a roller coaster when the bus barreled over the Busan Harbor Bridge.
Busan has so much more to offer. The Namcheong-dong neighborhood is filled with the best bakeries in the city and there is also an enchanting nook called Bosu-dong Book Alley. The multi-cultural space F1963 highlights the beauty of urban rehabilitation. Visit Busan and you’ll have a trip you’ll never forget!
