Some notable sites and memorials include: Memorial Service Hall, Memorabilia Hall, two Turkish Monuments, Greek Monument, Australian Monument, British Common Wealth Monument and two ponds. The Memorial Service Hall and the Memorabilia Hall were constructed in 1964 and 1968 respectively. The citizens of Busan dedicated the Main Gate in 1966.

BIFF Square, Gukje market and Jagalchi fish market are close to each other, Just next to each other!
BIFF Square is a lively street in Busan’s Nampo-dong district, named after the Busan International Film Festival. The pavement is decorated with handprints of famous film stars, and the street is full of snack stalls. It’s a fun place to enjoy local street food, such as sweet seed-filled pancakes called “hotteok.”
Gukje Market is one of Busan’s oldest and liveliest traditional markets. It began after the Korean War and grew into a maze of shops selling clothes, kitchenware, souvenirs, and street snacks. It’s a great place to feel everyday local life and try Busan’s famous treats.
Jagalchi Market is Korea’s largest seafood market, located right by Busan’s harbor. Fresh fish, shellfish, and other seafood from the sea are sold here every day. It’s a lively place to see Busan’s fishing culture up close and, if you like, to enjoy fresh seafood nearby.

Spectacular Busan with Luke
If we could give Luke 10 stars we would. Arrived in Busan at beginning of their major Thanksgiving holiday so Luke had to navigate busy traffic and change the itinerary on the fly. We had an amazing day with him showcasing beautiful Busan! Take a tour with Luke!!

Great Tour of Busan with Luke
We booked the Cruise Layover Small Group Tour of Busan and ended up with just the 4 of us in a very comfortable 6 seater new Hyundai van. Luke was an excellent guide who spoke great English and had wonderful local knowledge. If you're a cruise passenger then forget paying ridiculous inflated prices and book this tour. We saw every main tourist spot and more. Book it. 🤩

Port day in Busan
The day was perfect, Seowoo was fabulous and his knowledge was outstanding.
The day went exactly as planned and we were back on board our cruise ship in plenty of time. The transport was very clean and comfortable, there were four of us and we all had plenty of room.
We highly recommend this tour, it was personalised to what we wanted to see

Brilliant day in Busan with Luke
Had a great day with Luke as our guide. He picked us up from the cruise port in time, in a lovely, modern air conditioned van. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and explained about all the places we visited very well. We are vegetarian and he kindly found a restaurant serving delicious vegan dishes. He kept good time through the day so we felt we had made the most of our few hours in Busan. Thanks again Luke

Blast in Busan
We had an incredible private excursion, and our tour guide Gina made the experience unforgettable! She was knowledgeable, funny, and kept us entertained while sharing so many interesting facts and stories. Gina was also incredibly flexible, tailoring the day to our interests and making sure we got the most out of every stop. It felt like exploring with a friend who knew all the best places. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, personalized, and memorable experience! Make sure to ask for Gina!

Stellar Busan Experience with a brilliant guide!
Our guide, SEB is amazing! He is very knowledgeable and gave us the best, local Busan experience. I was travelling with my elderly mum and he paid special attention to her, including getting the driver to pick us up conveniently on side roads to minimise my mum from walking on the steep, Busan slopes. His service was beyond our expectations and I really appreciate the experience he has delivered. 5 stars rating 👍🏼
