Busan · A small hill above Nampo

Yongdusan Park & Busan Tower

Yongdusan Park is a compact downtown hill where a slow tree-lined approach opens into a view of the port. Use it as a calm reset between Nampo-dong, Jagalchi and the market streets: the park itself is free, while Busan Tower is a separate paid observatory for a higher view over Busan Port, bridges and Yeongdo.

A considerate tip

“Choose your route before climbing: Visit Busan notes a shorter walk from Jungang Station Exit 1 (about 6 minutes) and a roughly 7-minute walk from Nampo Station Exit 7. An escalator entrance near the metro can reduce the uphill walk. Do not treat the tower as an automatic add-on—the park is free but tower admission is paid, and the official source says tower operation can change with the weather. Check current entry, price and any night programme before going.”

Choose the free park and paid observatory separately

Yongdusan Park is free to walk through; Busan Tower’s observatory is separately ticketed if you want a higher harbor view. If the observatory is not essential, use the park as a short pause between Nampo-dong and Jagalchi.

Ticketing ends at 21:30, before the listed 22:00 closing. The park involves an uphill approach, so choose the station route that suits your group. Check for weather-related changes before leaving.
