Visit United Nations Memorial Cemetery

Start your day with a visit to the United Nations Memorial Cemetery, a serene and beautifully maintained park honoring the soldiers from 16 nations who sacrificed their lives during the Korean War. Stroll through the peaceful grounds lined with fluttering flags, manicured lawns, and memorial stones that reflect both gratitude and hope for peace.

Explore Gamcheon Culture Village

Continue to the colorful Gamcheon Culture Village, often called the “Machu Picchu of Busan.” Wander through narrow alleyways adorned with murals, quirky art installations, and pastel-colored houses stacked along the hillside. Originally a wartime refugee settlement, the area has become one of Busan’s most iconic cultural attractions, full of creativity and community spirit.

Yongdusan Park & Busan Tower

Climb or take the elevator to the observation deck of Busan Tower for panoramic views of the harbor, the glittering skyline, and the bustling city below. The park also features charming pavilions, sculptures, and seasonal gardens that offer a moment of calm in the middle of the city.
