A 120-meter-high view over Busanhang, Gwangandaegyo and Nampodong!? That’s the big reveal at Busan Tawo, inside Yongdusan Gongwon in Busan’s old downtown. It’s also a popular spot for night views, so consider an evening visit if you’d like to see the city from above after dark 🌙
There’s more to explore as you make your way down. The tower has spaces for exhibitions and cultural events, plus a lower-level attraction built around a flying-submarine concept. Continue past colorful photo zones to rooms decorated with colorful versions of Busan’s landmark travel destinations. Which part would you head for first? 🚀
There are also food alleys and a museum around the tower if you’d like to make a day of the area. Admission varies by age, with free entry for children under 36 months. It’s open from 10:00 to 22:00 year-round, but ticket sales end at 21:30, so get your ticket before then. Parking is available, with the nearest lot right beside the tower 🙂
