2025 Busan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

✔️Gupo Hotel Titi 📍Address 1684 Nakdong-daero, Buk-gu, Busan I recently visited a capsule hotel in Busan after a long time, and I was so satisfied that I highly recommend it. There's a convenience store on the first floor, which was great for grabbing a quick bite after arriving late at night! The warm wooden flooring throughout created a cozy atmosphere, and the space was larger than typical capsule hotels, so it didn't feel cramped. The bedding was soft and well-maintained, allowing for a comfortable night's sleep. The lighting and decor were thoughtfully arranged, providing a relaxing environment to unwind from travel fatigue. The hallway interiors were stylish and luxurious, making me want to take photos. The location was convenient for traveling around Busan, and the price was reasonable, offering excellent value for money. It was quiet, allowing for peaceful rest, and the cleanliness was well-maintained, giving me peace of mind.

Originally, I planned to take a walk through the White Water Cultural Village for lunch, but as I was passing by, I suddenly felt like having a coffee and stopped by Canvas Attic. I was completely satisfied! --- 📍 Location & Information Address: 247 Huinnyeoul-gil, Yeongdo-gu, Busan Located just past the entrance to Huinmaeuljeomppang (Wood Village Bakery) Up to 4 teams per room, 2 teams per outdoor terrace The first floor is small, requiring a climb up the attic stairs to access seating. --- 🌿 Cafe Concept Like its name suggests, the café has a loft-like feel. Seated seating and large windows offer ocean views. A charmingly decorated space with props and fresh flowers. Handwritten menu & iced Americano served in unique cups. --- 💡 Tip 1-hour limit on dining time. Beware of the steep stairs. If the weather is nice, sit outside and enjoy the ocean view. Perfect for quiet ocean views. --- 💚 Overall Review A completely new cafe experience in Huinnyeoul Cultural Village. A unique loft concept you won't find anywhere else in Korea. Coffee, ocean views, and charming props make for a perfect combination. Healing #AdventureMoment

I visited a charming cafe near the Gijang seaside! From the moment I stepped in, I was filled with excitement as the exterior was beautifully and quaintly decorated 🏖️✨. Sitting by the window, I could take in the full view of the ocean, which was pure relaxation 🌿🌊. We ordered a latte and an Americano, both of which had a rich and smooth flavor. For dessert, I highly recommend the moist brownie and the refreshing tart 🍰☕. ✅ A seaside cafe with a cozy vibe ✅ Perfect photo spots 📸 ✅ Satisfying coffee and dessert If you want to enjoy the Gijang sea and spend a leisurely time, this is a must-visit 💛✨

At Gwangan Bridge, the skyline lights up at night with colors reflecting on the water. Sitting at a beachfront café with the bridge glowing in the background feels almost cinematic.During the day, you can relax on Korea’s most famous beach, but the fun really starts at night. The beachside night markets are filled with street food stalls, grilled squid, tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), and hotteok (sweet stuffed pancakes).#busan #korea #gwanganbridge #citydaytours

F1963 is home to a YES24 used bookstore, Terarosa Cafe, and even the Hyundai Motorstudio. 📚☕🚗 You can sit down for a moment to read a book, enjoy a cup of coffee, and then explore the exhibitions... You can even take a stroll through the bamboo forest in the heart of the city, making it a great place to spend a full day. 🌿💫 The high ceilings and open space made for a refreshing sense of openness just by walking. People quietly sat reading, families enjoying the exhibitions, everyone was completely absorbed in the relaxed atmosphere. ☺️ The Terarosa Cafe, with its gentle coffee aroma, was perfect for a long stay, and the used bookstore was a fun way to discover books, like a treasure hunt. 📖 It's a place that offers even more charm if you allow yourself plenty of time! ✨ #adventuremoment #f1963

Songjeong ↔ Mipo Round Trip A closed old railroad transformed into such a stunning ocean view tourist train—a true Busan experience! From the coastal train that runs along the open coastline to Mipo Songjeong, to the Sky Capsule, which feels like walking in the sky. I chose the route that started from Songjeong, went to Mipo, walked to Cheongsapo, and then returned to Songjeong. -- 🚗 Always start at Songjeong Station! Parking: The Mipo parking lot is limited and SUVs are not allowed, while Songjeong is spacious and comfortable. Benefits: 2 hours free when using the train or Sky Capsule.

Duration: 25 minutes one way, 6 stops total. Seating: More likely to be full mid-ride → Recommended to ride from start to finish. Operating Hours: Varies by season (check before visiting). -- ☁️ Sky Capsule Routine: Mipo ↔ Cheongsapo (30 minutes one way) Fare: 35,000 won for 2 people~ / Advance reservation required. Photo Spot: Colorful and Instagram-worthy! -- 🥾 Hiking Course 30-40 minutes from Mipo to Cheongsapo, filled with breathtaking coastal scenery. Points of Interest: Moonlight Tunnel, Sound of the Sea Gallery, Mongdol Beach, Sky Capsule View. Pets allowed (leash required), but bicycles and scooters are not allowed. -- ☕ End of Trip Have a coffee with a view of the ocean at Cheongsapo Cafe. Daritdol Observatory is closed in strong winds. A final photo at the Songjeong Station photo spot (Hawaii signpost). -- 💡 One-liner Travel Tip Weekday + Departing from Songjeong = No more worries about seating!

Introducing a must-visit restaurant in Busan for your foodie trip 😝 • Baekgaekdo • 70 Geumjeongmaeul-ro, Dongnae-gu, Busan This is a true gem that only operates for 3 hours a day, and it's worth the wait!

#OverseasTravel ✈️ Gimhae Airport Sky Hub Lounge Review I recommend the Gimhae International Airport Sky Hub Lounge to anyone looking to relax before departure! I booked in advance on Trip.com and visited during this trip. Located on the second floor of the international departure hall, between Gates 9 and 10, it's a convenient stop after browsing the duty-free shops. Opening hours are 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM, so you can enjoy a hearty meal before your flight and relax in comfort. The cozy and quiet atmosphere was perfect for regulating your mood before your flight. I also loved the generous selection of Korean hot food (like tteokbokki and stir-fried pork), salads, bread, cup noodles, and fruit. Free beer and a variety of other beverages are also available, perfect for a little refreshment! With Wi-Fi, charging ports, and even a flight information monitor, waiting time was never boring. With a three-hour limit, I was able to enjoy a leisurely meal and relaxation before departure. #Gimhae Airport #Sky Hub Lounge #Lounge Recommendation #Travel Tips #Trip.com
