The Busan Metro is clean, safe, and simple to use. It covers most major areas, including beaches, markets, and temples. Signs and announcements are in English, and trains are air-conditioned — a lifesaver in summer!

💡 Tip: Buy a Hanaro or T-money card at any convenience store or station for quick tap-and-go access across all transport. You can use the same card in Seoul too.

Busan’s buses go where the metro doesn’t — like coastal neighborhoods and hillside temples. They’re color-coded, just like in Seoul, and are a great way to explore more local areas.

💡 Tip: Use KakaoMap or Naver Map for accurate routes and real-time bus info. Google Maps isn’t very reliable here.

Taxis in Busan are generally easy to find and inexpensive. You can hail one on the street or use Kakao T to call a cab (there’s even an English version of the app).

💡 Tip: Some drivers may not speak English, so have your destination written in Korean or show it on your phone.

Busan is a great city for walking, especially around Gamcheon Culture Village, Seomyeon, and the beach areas. You’ll stumble upon hidden street food spots, cozy cafes, and ocean views around nearly every corner.

💡 Tip: Be prepared for hills and stairs in some areas — comfy shoes are a must!

Busan has some unique ways to get around:

• Beach Trains: Hop on the Haeundae Beach Train or Blue Line Park train for a relaxed ride by the sea.
• Busan Air Cruise (Cable Car): Ride above the ocean at Songdo Beach for amazing views.
• Haeundae Sky Capsule: A colorful, slow-moving capsule ride along the coast — perfect for photos.

💡 Tip: These rides aren’t just for fun — they’re a scenic and memorable way to travel between beachside neighborhoods!
