Day 1: Haeundae Beach, Views & Cafes

Start your first day of your 3 day itinerary enjoying beach time, sky high views, and start your cafe hop journey.

Haeundae Beach

Start your day at Haeundae Beach, Busan’s most famous stretch of sand known for having a wide shoreline, lively atmosphere, and a scenic city meets sea views. It’s a great place to relax, people-watch, and stroll along.

Busan X The Sky

After your’ve got your fill of beach time, head to Busan X the Sky! It’s located in the LCT Landmark Tower, and entrance is right off of Haeundae Beach. Busan X the Sky is the highest observation deck in South Korea. From the top, you’ll get incredible sweeping panoramic views of Haeundae Beach and the city itself. It’s truly incredible. Don’t forget to stop by the restrooms too! It features an unbeatable view.

Dongbaek Dessert Cafe

Afterwards, start your cafe hopping journey with a stop at Dongbaek Dessert Cafe is known for its elegant desserts, calm atmosphere, and an amazing view of the sky capsules that roll right alongside its rooftop setting. They also offer beautifully plated cakes, pastries, and coffees and teas. The rooftop has limited seating but you really can’t beat the views of the sky capsules and of the modern buildings in the distance.

Rendeja-vous Cafe

The Rendeja-vous Cafe is located right at the edge of Haeundae Beach so you’ll get stunning views of the coast paired with the modern minimalist design of the cafe. The large floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to enjoy the view no matter where you’re seating, and there’s a cute little stool where you can pose and take photos with the beach view behind. I definitely recommend visiting during sunset, where the golden lit views make it worth the stop.

Haeundae Market

Just steps from the beach is Haeundae Market, a lively food street packed with local snacks and Korean street food. It’s the perfect spot to sample Busan favorites like fish cakes, hotteok, and grilled seafood.

Day 2: Busan Day Tour

On your second day of your 3 day Seoul itinerary, visit some of Busan’s most iconic sights!

If you want to experience all the stops on this day with a live tour guide who also provides transportation, then book it here, or in the widget below. I highly recommend booking a tour so you can have a driver/guide AND you can learn as much as you can about the Busan landmarks, history, and culture.

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple

The first stop is at Haedong Yonggung Temple, one of the most iconic temples in Korea. It’s literally perched right beside the ocean with sweeping ocean views crashing into the coastal rocks. The temple is a Buddhist temple with stone stairways, beautiful temple buildings, and a short hike up to a viewpoint overlooking the temple grounds.

Here you can explore the whole temple grounds, just be sure to visit the viewpoint area to get a view of the temple from in front, as well as hike up the stairs to get a view from above.

Cheongsapo Daritdol Skywalk

The next stop is at Cheongsapo Station, where a wooden walkway parallel to the Beach Train tracks begins and leads right to the Cheongsapo Daritdol Skywalk. You can walk along the Skywalk and admire the ocean views, and walk along the glass floors with the waves crashing below.

Seafood Lunch

After the Skywalk, we followed the wooden walkway back towards the Cheongsapo Station, but about halfway, we took some stairs down to the coast and our guide led us to a seafood restaurant, Doheenae. Doheenae serves fresh seafood that the waiters grill in front of you on the in-table-grill. I opted for the Eel meal and it was delicious!!!

Haeundae Blueline Park (Sky Capsule Ride)

After lunch, go to Cheongsapo Station to board a blue line Park Sky Capsule. We didn’t have to wait in line very long until it was our turn, and man, these sky capsules are so cute and fun!

The speed is pretty slow, but you’re able to enjoy the surrounding ocean views, and take plenty of photos and videos of the experience. The ride ends at Mipo Station.

Huinnyeoul Culture Village

The next stop at the Huinnyeoul Culture Village is a bit of a hidden gem village and can be known as the Santorini of Busan. Once you lay your eyes on it you’ll understand why, with its cliffside buildings and amazing ocean views. Its seaside location gives it a unique charm and there are painted steps, art installations, and a walkway that hugs the cliff’s edge.

Here you can walk to the end of the cliffside walkway, stop at a cafe where you can enjoy a drink and relax. Check out the Footpath Cafe View if you want to enjoy a drink, an ocean view, while enjoying a relaxing footpath.

Gamcheon Culture Village

Gamcheon Culture Village is one of Busan’s most iconic spots (and for good reason!). You’ll find bright murals, winding alleys, colorful buildings, quaint cafes, and incredible views of the village. Even though this is a popular tourist stop, it doesn’t really feel overcrowded. There are some lines to take some iconic photos, like with the “I <3 Busan” sign, and the Boy and Fox statues.

Here you can roam a bit, buy souvenirs, and also grab a drink at a cafe. I went to Wooin Cafe where the rooftop has amazing view of the village and beyond. Highly recommend a stop here if you’re looking for some great views of the culture village.

Day 3: Cafe Hopping

Cafe Coralani

If you’re looking for a cafe that feels like a seaside escape, the Cafe Coralani is it! It’s located right at the coast and offers an airy resort-like vibe. It’s definitely more like a vacation destination than a quick coffee stop. The outdoor rooftop seating is definitely the highlight where you can enjoy the sea breeze while enjoy pastries and coffee. You can relax and soak in all the ocean views.

Oncheon Oncheon Cafe Street

Rather than a single café, Oncheon Oncheon Café Street is an entire area dedicated to café hopping. It is located near Busan’s historic hot spring district, this street is lined with independent cafés, bakeries, and creative spaces. It’s the perfect spot to wander without a strict plan, popping into whichever café catches your eye. Also, if you visit during the Spring, you can catch the entire Oncheoncheon stream lined with blooming cherry blossoms.

Thrill on the Mug Cafe

Thrill on the Mug Cafe offers a fun and playful experience that makes it stand out from other Busan Cafes. It has a unique concept with terraced seating facing the ocean, with its most popular time being sunset, where the sun is the positioned center stage. If you want to experience the “thrill”, you can opt to ride the zipline here!
