Detailed itinerary

Embark on a glamorous yacht tour, gliding under the illuminated Diamond Bridge. Witness the harmonious blend of natural beaches and towering skyscrapers along the city's coast. As the night sky merges with the twinkling city lights, prepare for a sailing experience that is nothing short of magical.

Explore the stunning Busan Harbor Bridge, a perfect spot to soak in the beautiful night view of Busan. Renowned as a popular driving course, this bridge offers a captivating blend of the city's dynamic energy and natural beauty, with an unparalleled view of Busan Port.

As you cross the Busan Harbor Bridge, prepare to be mesmerized by the grandeur of Busan Port and the sweeping panorama of the city's skyline. The spectacle is especially breathtaking after dusk, when the bridge and nearby buildings light up, creating one of Busan's most magnificent scenes.

Spanning about 7.42 kilometers, this bridge ranks among Korea's longest, providing a unique opportunity to enjoy a 360-degree vista of Busan. The Busan Harbor Bridge is not just a route; it's a destination in itself, especially popular with photographers and social media aficionados for its photogenic appeal.

Nestled in the heart of Busan, Bupyeong Kkangtong Market is renowned for its vibrant night market. The market's unique name, "Kkangtong" (meaning "can"), originated post-Korean War with the distribution of canned goods from U.S. military bases. It gained further fame in the 1970s when various foreign goods brought back by soldiers deployed in Vietnam were sold here. Today, as one of the top three markets in Busan, it hosts the first permanent night market in Korea, bustling with energy every evening. Here, you'll find a wide array of food options, including the famous Busan fish cakes, and many eateries featured on TV. Long lines of people waiting at popular stalls are a common sight, adding to the market's lively atmosphere.

Stop 4

Perched midway up the mountain, this path is lined with homes built by refugees following the Korean War. Along the way, you'll encounter various lookout points, each offering a unique perspective. Among them, the Cheonmasan Observatory and Busan Port Observatory stand out as prime spots to immerse yourself in Busan's stunning nighttime cityscape. From these vantage points, you can soak in the breathtaking beauty of Busan's illuminated skyline, a mesmerizing tapestry of lights and urban charm. It's an experience that beautifully marries historical depth with modern allure, making it an unmissable highlight of any visit to Busan.
