The tour lasts between four and eight hours, depending on your preferences. The standard route covers Busan’s key landmarks, including Haedong Yonggungsa Temple on the coast, where you can descend 108 steps to see the seaside temple founded in 1376. You can also visit Haeundae Blue Line Park in Cheongsapo, where you may choose among three activities: a Sky Capsule ride with ocean views, a Beach Train along the coast, or the Daritdol Observatory’s glass skywalk over the sea.
