Busan, South Korea’s vibrant coastal city, is an unforgettable stop for travelers from around the world. Known for its stunning beaches, dynamic culture, and lively food scene, Busan is increasingly welcoming to Muslim visitors. If you’re planning a Korea trip and want to explore Busan with convenience, savings, and flexibility, using the Visit Busan Pass is one of the smartest ways to get more out of your trip.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to make the most of the Visit Busan Pass — from purchasing it to using it at top attractions — along with halal‑friendly travel tips. With the help of the KoreHalal Trip App, your Muslim‑friendly Busan adventure becomes even smoother.

Why Busan Should Be on Every Muslim Traveler’s Korea Itinerary

A wide-angle, low-angle landscape shot of the Marine City skyline in Haeundae, Busan, at night. The foreground features a calm, dark sea that perfectly reflects the vibrant, glowing lights of the surrounding architecture. The skyline is dominated by several luxury high-rise skyscrapers, including the iconic curved glass towers of Haeundae I'Park and the towering Doosan We've the Zenith. The buildings are brilliantly illuminated with thousands of white and blue internal lights, creating a "festival of light" that mimics the aesthetic of major global cities like Hong Kong or Shanghai. On the right, the Gwangan Bridge (Diamond Bridge) stretches across the water, its double-deck suspension structure glowing with bright LED lights. The sky is a deep, clear indigo, providing a sharp contrast to the shimmering gold and blue reflections dancing on the water's surface. The overall atmosphere is modern, sophisticated, and energetic, capturing Busan's status as a premier global port city.

Busan blends natural beauty with modern urban experiences. Whether you’re walking along Haeundae Beach, exploring cultural museums, or riding scenic cable cars with ocean views, this port city has something for everyone.

For Muslim travelers, Busan offers growing halal‑friendly services and prayer facilities, making it easier to enjoy your trip with confidence. Plus, if you’re coming from Seoul, you can reach Busan in around 3 hours via Korail’s high‑speed KTX train, giving you more time to explore. (👉 Learn more and book on Korail Global)

Here is the official guide for the VISIT BUSAN PASS. Is it a bit overwhelming? Don't worry! We’ve organized everything for you below—from pass types and pricing to recommended attractions. Check out our blog post below!

A clean, informational graphic for the Visit Busan Pass, a tourist pass that offers free admission to over 34 facilities and discounts at more than 180 locations in Busan. The layout is organized into three main columns against a light, patterned background. Left Column (Purple Header): Titled "VISIT BUSAN PASS," this section explains the benefits of the pass, including prepaid access to subways and buses with the physical card, free entry to major attractions, and exclusive discounts.

What’s the Difference between passes?

There are both Time Passes and Selection Passes.

Time Passes: 24-hour and 48-hour passes are available.
Selection Passes: Choose from Big 3 or Big 5 options.

Check the table below to see the differences between each pass!

	Purple - Group A	Blue - Group B
What do they Mean?	Premium attractions. These are relatively high-priced options.	Standard attractions. These are relatively low-priced options.
What is Included	Check for the List Below!
24H Pass	Unlimited for 24 Hours
48H Pass	Unlimited for 48 Hours
Big 3 Pass	Choose 1 attraction	Choose 2 attractions
Big 5 Pass	Choose 2 attractions	Choose 3 attractions

Regardless of the pass type, all passes offer discount benefits at over 180 partner locations!

You can check the full list of available discounts on Visit Busan Pass Website: 👉 https://www.visitbusanpass.com/attractions/?attrtp=discount

How is the usage period calculated?

Time Pass (24h/48h): The countdown does not start at the time of purchase. Instead, it begins when you use the pass at your first attraction. From that moment, your pass is valid for exactly 24 or 48 hours.
- Example: If you purchase a 24-hour pass on January 1st at 1:00 PM but use it for the first time at 5:00 PM, you can use it until 4:59 PM on January 2nd.
Selection Pass (Big 3/Big 5): The Selection Pass offers much more flexibility. The validity period starts from the day of your first visit and remains active for 180 days, giving you plenty of time to enjoy your selected attractions.

Physical Card Pass vs. Mobile Pass

There are two types of passes available. The main difference is their format and transportation functionality:

Physical Card Pass: A tangible card that doubles as a rechargeable transportation card. It is a great choice if you need a transit card or want a physical souvenir from your trip to Korea.
Mobile Pass: A digital pass issued to your smartphone. It cannot be used as a transportation card.

Which one should you choose?

If you already have a transit card (such as one from Seoul or a Climate Card), a physical card may not be necessary. We generally recommend the Mobile Pass to avoid the risk of losing a physical card. However, if you prefer a free souvenir or need a new transit card, the Physical Card is an excellent option.

Note: The transportation feature functions as a prepaid card. You must top up (charge) the balance yourself before use.

The following ticket prices and the complete list of groups and attractions are valid as of January 13, 2026.

Top Muslim-Friendly Attractions with the Visit Busan Pass

Busan City Tour Bus (Purple / Group A)

A high-angle, eye-level shot of a Busan City Tour double-decker bus traveling along a coastal road. The bus is white with colorful graffiti-style graphics on its lower half and "BUSAN CITY TOUR" written in bold letters across the front. The top deck is open-air with red and blue seating, partially covered by a red awning. The road is lined with a wide pedestrian sidewalk featuring tall palm trees and manicured pine trees, with several South Korean flags (Taegeukgi) attached to the lampposts. To the left, a sandy beach meets the calm sea, where a few people can be seen relaxing. In the background, a dense urban landscape of white and beige apartment buildings and hotels rises under a slightly hazy, bright sky. The scene captures a classic, sunny day of sightseeing in a coastal metropolitan area. — ⓒ한국관광공사 포토코리아-이범수

The Busan City Tour Bus is a simple, time-saving option when you want to cover many highlights in one day. Start at Busan Station, exchange your Visit Busan Pass at the ticket booth, and you’re ready to ride. The hop-on style makes it easy to pause for photos, snacks, or prayer breaks without rushing. It’s especially helpful for Muslim travelers who prefer a smoother schedule with fewer transportation surprises.

Gijang Area

Gijang Area is a scenic coastal district on the northeast side of Busan that feels like a “hidden gem” day trip. It’s a great mix of ocean views, shopping spots, fun activities, and calmer temple vibes in one route.

Skyline Luge Busan (Purple / Group A)

Skyline Luge Busan is a family-friendly thrill that lets you ride downhill on scenic tracks with coastal air all around you. It’s exciting without being too extreme, so it works well for mixed-age groups. If you’re traveling with kids or relatives, this is an easy “everyone enjoys it” activity. For a smoother experience, go on a weekday when crowds are lighter and lines are shorter. (Image Source: Skyline Luge Busan)

Lotte World Busan (Purple / Group A)

A wide-angle, eye-level shot of the Giant Splash attraction at Lotte World Adventure Busan. In the center, a ride vehicle has just plunged into a teal-colored track's splash zone, creating a massive, towering explosion of white water that erupts upward and outward. The track is supported by light-colored pillars over a turquoise lagoon. In the background, the park's landscape features a mix of whimsical, storybook-style buildings with blue conical roofs and the skeletal orange structures of other thrill rides like the Giant Swing and Giant Digger roller coaster. The entire scene is set against a backdrop of hazy, rolling mountains under a bright, clear sky, capturing the scale and excitement of the theme park. — Image Source: Lotte World Adventure Busan

Lotte World Busan is an entertainment-packed theme park that pairs perfectly with the luge since it’s nearby. You’ll find a mix of rides, photo zones, and indoor-outdoor areas, which helps if the weather changes. It’s one of the best pass options for families who want a full half-day of fun. Weekdays are strongly recommended if you want minimal waiting and more time enjoying the park.

Ahopsan Forest (Blue / Group B)

A high-angle, perspective shot of a dirt path winding through the dense Ahopsan Forest in Busan. The path is covered in fallen brown leaves and pine needles, leading the eye deep into a thick grove of tall, slender green bamboo stalks that stretch toward the top of the frame. To the left of the path, a thick, textured brown tree trunk leans slightly over the trail, contrasting with the straight, vertical lines of the bamboo. In the far distance, two small figures are walking down the path, emphasizing the immense height and scale of the surrounding forest. The upper canopy is a mix of soft yellow and green foliage, creating a peaceful, natural atmosphere with warm, dappled light. — [ⓒ한국관광공사 포토코리아-부산울산지사 위브부산]

Ahopsan Forest is the kind of place you visit when you want a calm, refreshing break from the city. The walking paths feel peaceful and make it easy to slow down and recharge. It’s ideal for travelers who enjoy nature, photography, and quiet moments in between busy attractions. If you plan prayer time into your day, this area also feels more relaxed compared to crowded hotspots.

Brick Campus Busan (Blue / Group B)

A vertical shot of a large-scale art installation at Brick Campus Busan. A pair of giant, gray sculpted hands emerges from a dark ceiling, cupped together as if pouring a waterfall of thousands of colorful toy bricks. The bricks—in vibrant shades of red, yellow, blue, green, and white—cascade downward in a thick, continuous stream into a large red pit filled with even more bricks. In the background, minimalist white walls feature thin shelves displaying various small brick models, including a "ROBLOX" sign and small character figures. The floor area is dominated by the red-bordered brick pit, creating a playful and immersive atmosphere that showcases the creative possibilities of brick art. — Image Source: Visit Busan Pass

Brick Campus Busan is a strong pick for families traveling with younger kids who love colorful, playful spaces. The exhibits are designed to keep children engaged while adults still enjoy the creativity and photo moments. It’s also a practical choice on rainy or hot days because you can stay comfortable indoors. If your itinerary needs a “kid-happy” stop, this one fits naturally.

Haeundae Area

Haeundae Area is Busan’s most famous beach district, known for its skyline, wide sandy shore, and upscale city energy. If you enjoy lively neighborhoods with cafés, events, and impressive ocean views, Haeundae belongs on your must-visit list.

Busan X the Sky (Purple / Group A)

A wide-angle landscape shot of Haeundae Beach in Busan at dusk. In the foreground, a large, intricately carved sandcastle sculpture is illuminated by warm spotlights, showing detailed architectural features like towers and windows. Behind the sculpture, the skyline is dominated by three glowing, blue-tinted glass skyscrapers (Haeundae LCT The Sharp) that stretch toward a deep blue twilight sky. To the left, the "Grand Josun" hotel building is visible, and to the right, the city lights of a hillside neighborhood begin to twinkle. The overall mood is calm and sophisticated, contrasting the organic texture of the sand with the sleek, modern urban architecture.

Busan X the Sky is a top-tier viewpoint experience for travelers who want the best panoramic photos in the city. From high above, you can see the coastline stretch through Haeundae toward Gwangan Bridge and the surrounding skyscrapers. It’s especially memorable at sunset and after dark when the city lights start to sparkle. If you want a “wow” moment that feels premium and unforgettable, this is one of the strongest Visit Busan Pass choices.

Haeundae Beach Train (Blue / Group B)

A high-angle landscape shot of the Haeundae Blueline Park in Busan during a bright, sunny day. In the foreground, a blue and white Beach Train sits on the tracks alongside a wooden pedestrian boardwalk where a person is walking. Above the train, a small red Sky Capsule travels on an elevated rail system. In the mid-ground, a white station building houses several colorful Sky Capsules (yellow, blue, and green) ready for departure. The background is a dense urban landscape featuring a mix of modern glass skyscrapers, white residential apartment complexes, and a green, tree-covered hillside under a clear blue sky. The scene perfectly captures the blend of coastal tourism and urban infrastructure. — ⓒ한국관광공사 포토코리아-디엔에이스튜디오

The Haeundae Beach Train is a relaxing coastal ride that turns transportation into a sightseeing experience. It follows the seaside line and passes multiple scenic points, so you can enjoy the sea breeze without long walks. This is ideal for families, couples, or anyone who wants beautiful views with minimal effort. If you’re building a Muslim-friendly day plan, it’s easy to pair this ride with nearby food stops and flexible prayer timing.

Museum 1 (Blue / Group B)

Museum 1 is a modern art space focused on media art, creating an immersive and futuristic atmosphere. It’s a great indoor attraction when you want something cultural without worrying about weather conditions. The exhibitions feel visually engaging, making it enjoyable even for travelers who “aren’t usually museum people.” If you like creative spaces and calm pacing, this is a smart addition to your Haeundae route.

Gwangalli Area

Gwangalli Area is famous for front-row views of the iconic Gwangan Bridge and a more laid-back seaside mood than Haeundae. It’s especially popular at night, when the bridge lights up and the beach feels lively but not overwhelming.

Busan Diamond Bay Yacht (Purple / Group A)

Image Source: Busan Diamond Bay Yacht Tour

Busan Diamond Bay Yacht is a romantic and photo-friendly way to see the coastline from the water. The route highlights the skyline, the beach atmosphere, and the dramatic bridge view that makes Gwangalli famous. It’s a great pick for couples, friends, or families who want a special “Busan memory” beyond typical sightseeing. If you’re choosing one premium-feeling activity with the pass, this is a strong contender.

Daeyoung Taekwondo (Purple / Group A)

Daeyoung Taekwondo is a hands-on cultural experience where you can learn real Taekwondo basics in a welcoming setting. You don’t need any prior martial arts experience, which makes it beginner-friendly for travelers of different ages. It’s a meaningful activity because you learn Korean tradition through movement, discipline, and simple techniques. If you want an experience that feels uniquely “Korea,” this is one of the most memorable options on the pass.

Seomyeon Area

Seomyeon Area is Busan’s downtown hub for shopping, food, and entertainment, and it’s where many locals go to have fun. If you enjoy energetic neighborhoods and indoor attractions, Seomyeon is a perfect stop—especially in the evening.

Running Man Experience Center (Blue / Group B)

Image Source: Runnimg Man Experience Busan

Running Man Experience Center is perfect if you love Korean entertainment or want an interactive activity with your group. You complete missions and challenges that make you feel like you’re inside a real variety show. It’s high-energy, laughter-filled, and easy to enjoy even if you’ve never watched the program. Families and friend groups usually rate this as one of the most fun indoor attractions in Busan.

Laser Arena Samjeong Tower (Blue / Group B)

A medium-shot of two people engaged in a laser tag game at Laser Arena Busan Samjeong. The setting is a dark, indoor arena illuminated by vibrant neon green lights on black partition walls labeled with text like "RESTRICTED AREA." In the foreground, a person wearing a black hoodie, a face mask, and glowing sensors on their vest stands in a defensive posture, holding a laser gun. In the background, another player is partially visible behind a partition, aiming a laser gun that emits a bright red beam toward the foreground. The floor has a purple hue from the ambient neon lighting, creating an intense, high-energy atmosphere for an indoor action activity. — Image Source: Laser Arena Busan Samjeong

Laser Arena is an action-packed attraction that adds a sporty twist to your Seomyeon itinerary. It’s designed like a laser survival game, so you can compete, team up, and burn off energy in a playful way. Since it’s in the same building area as Running Man, it’s easy to combine both for a full entertainment block. If your group wants a “two-in-one” fun day, this pairing is a smart choice.

DIAegg Escape Room (Blue / Group B)

A promotional banner for the DIAegg Escape Room in Seomyeon, Busan, featuring a minimalist and intense design. The image displays a narrow, three-walled room completely saturated in a vibrant, deep red color. In the center of the back wall, the words "Escape from The RED ROOM" are written in bold, glowing white text. The perspective creates a sense of being enclosed within the space, emphasizing the theme of an escape room challenge. The lighting is focused on the central text, causing the corners of the red room to fade into darker shadows, adding to the mysterious and suspenseful atmosphere. — Image Source: DIAegg Escape Room Seomyeon

DIAegg is a great option when you want a group activity that feels immersive and mentally engaging. English support is available, so international visitors can focus on solving puzzles instead of struggling with instructions. The themed rooms offer different moods—mystery, travel-style missions, or comedy storytelling—so you can pick what fits your group best. If you want a unique indoor memory and teamwork moment, an escape room session is a fantastic fit.

Yeongdo Area

Yeongdo Area is an island district close to Busan Station, connected by bridges and known for its authentic, local feel. It blends rugged coastal scenery with creative spaces, making it ideal for travelers who want something beyond the usual tourist track.

Korea National Maritime Museum (Blue / Group B)

A wide-angle, low-angle shot of the Korea National Maritime Museum in Busan. The building features a striking, futuristic architectural design with a large, silver metallic canopy that flares upward and outward, resembling a stylized ship's hull or an inverted pyramid. The facade is covered in a grid of triangular glass panels that reflect the surrounding environment. In the foreground, a vast, light-gray paved plaza stretches toward the entrance. A few small figures of visitors are scattered near the building and on the grassy area to the right, highlighting the massive scale of the structure. The sky is a clear, pale blue, and a distant, hazy mountain is visible on the horizon to the right, completing the serene coastal setting. — ⓒ한국관광공사 포토코리아-김지호

Korea National Maritime Museum is a family-friendly attraction that’s both educational and entertaining. The highlight for many visitors is the 4D theater experience, where motion and effects make the show feel more immersive. It’s a good choice when you want an indoor stop that still feels exciting and interactive. If you’re traveling with kids, this museum is a reliable “everyone stays interested” option.

Arte Museum Busan (Blue / Group B)

An eye-level shot within the "FLOWER" zone at Arte Museum Busan in Yeongdo. The vast, immersive room features floor-to-ceiling projections of vibrant, oversized camellia and rose petals in shades of deep red and pink that appear to flutter and cascade through the air. Mirrored walls and floors create an infinite reflection, making it feel as though the visitor is standing in the center of a boundless, swirling floral universe. The space is dimly lit, allowing the glowing digital blossoms to dominate the atmosphere. Visitors can be seen as dark silhouettes against the bright, colorful projections, emphasizing the massive scale of the installation. The overall mood is dreamlike and ethereal, designed to engage multiple senses through synchronized sound and a subtle floral fragrance. — Image Source: Arte Museum Busan

Arte Museum Busan offers an immersive media art experience that feels like stepping into a digital world of nature, light, and sound. It’s a great pick for Muslim travelers who want a comfortable indoor attraction with a calm, walk-through pace. The exhibitions are designed for stunning photos and a sense of wonder without requiring a long time commitment per room. If you want a modern, memorable experience that works in any weather, this is one of the best cultural stops to add.

Gamcheon Culture Village Area

Gamcheon Culture Village Area is a colorful hillside neighborhood filled with murals, creative alleyways, and panoramic viewpoints. It’s one of Busan’s most photogenic places, blending history with a vibrant, artsy atmosphere.

Gamcheon Romantic Hanbok (Blue / Group B)

Gamcheon Romantic Hanbok is a fun way to experience Korean culture while creating beautiful travel photos. You can rent traditional hanbok or themed outfits and explore the village’s colorful streets in style. It’s especially enjoyable for couples and families who want a shared activity that feels distinctly Korean. If you want your Busan trip to include cultural visuals—not just sightseeing—this is an easy win.

Flipbook Studio (Blue / Group B)

Image Source: Flipbook Studio Busan

Flipbook Studio lets you turn your Busan moments into a creative souvenir by making your own flipbook. It’s a unique experience because it blends photography, props, and playful storytelling in one session. Friends and families love it because it becomes a personalized keepsake that feels more special than a typical postcard. If you want a fun “memory-making” stop inside Gamcheon, this one stands out.

Songdo Area

Songdo Area is known for coastal scenery and classic Busan vibes, with modern attractions built around the sea. It’s a great area if you want ocean views, breezy walks, and activities that feel adventurous but still easy to plan.

Songdo Marine Cable Car (Blue / Group B)

A wide-angle, eye-level shot of the Busan Air Cruise (Songdo Marine Cable Car) traveling over the sea. In the foreground, a vibrant purple cable car cabin hangs from a thick black cable, with the city and coastline reflected in its glass windows. Behind it, a line of colorful cable cars (yellow, red, green, and blue) extends toward a tall silver lattice support tower anchored in the water. The left side of the frame shows a lush, green coastal cliff with a winding wooden pedestrian boardwalk (the Songdo Coastal Trail) hugging the rocky shoreline. In the background, the dense urban skyline of Busan features numerous white and gray high-rise buildings nestled against hazy, rolling mountains under a clear, bright sky. The calm blue water of the bay completes this scenic view of one of Busan's most popular coastal attractions. — ⓒ한국관광공사 포토코리아-IR 스튜디오

Songdo Marine Cable Car delivers one of the most scenic “over the ocean” rides in Busan. You’ll glide above the water and cliffs, seeing dramatic coastline views that feel cinematic. It’s relaxing enough for families but still exciting for first-time visitors. If you want a high-impact attraction that doesn’t require lots of walking, this is a strong choice.

Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge (Blue / Group B)

A wide-angle, high-angle shot of the Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge in Busan. The white metal bridge stretches across a turquoise sea, connecting the mainland cliff on the right to a small, rocky uninhabited island on the left. The island features a circular walking path at its peak, surrounded by sparse greenery. The mainland side is a steep, lush green hillside with a white observation tower at the bridge's starting point. In the background, the deep blue ocean extends to the horizon, where several large cargo ships are visible under a clear, pale blue sky. The scene highlights the dramatic coastal geography and the engineering of the pedestrian bridge. — ⓒ한국관광공사 포토코리아-부산관광공사

Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge is a thrilling walk above the sea that gives you amazing viewpoints and fresh ocean air. It’s an easy add-on after the cable car because it naturally fits the same coastal route. The experience feels adventurous without needing special skills, so most travelers can enjoy it comfortably. If you love scenic walks and dramatic cliff views, this bridge belongs on your Songdo checklist.

Laser Arena Songdo (Blue / Group B)

A medium-shot of two people engaged in a laser tag game at Laser Arena Busan. The setting is a dark, indoor arena illuminated by vibrant neon orange and green lights on black partition walls featuring tactical signage like "NUCLEAR POWERED" and "SECTOR C." In the foreground, a person wearing a black jacket and a face mask aims a laser gun that glows with orange lights. Their tactical vest is lit up with bright green sensor lights. Behind a central partition, another player is visible, also wearing a lit-up vest and aiming their weapon toward the camera. The floor and surroundings are bathed in a deep purple ultraviolet light, creating an intense, high-energy atmosphere for an indoor action activity. — Image Source: Laser Arena Busan Songdo

Laser Arena Songdo is a smart alternative if you don’t have time to visit Seomyeon but still want an active indoor game. The experience is fast-paced, fun, and great for groups looking to compete and laugh together. It also works well as a “backup plan” when weather changes or your schedule shifts. If you want a quick burst of energy and excitement near the coast, this is a great pick.

Visit Busan Pass vs. Private Tour: Which is Worth It?

While the Visit Busan Pass offers incredible value for entrance fees, many travelers find it challenging to maximize the pass within 24 or 48 hours. Before you decide, consider these practical factors about traveling in Busan:

1. The Challenge of "Time vs. Distance"

Busan is a massive, sprawling city. Moving from the Gijang Area (Luge, Lotte World) in the northeast to the Yeongdo/Gamcheon Area in the southwest can take over 1.5 to 2 hours by public transport.

Without a Private Tour: You will likely spend most of your "Pass Time" waiting for buses or navigating subways. Most DIY travelers can only manage 1 or 2 areas per day.
With KoreHalal Trip: Our private vehicles use optimized routes to help you visit 3 or 4 major districts in a single day, ensuring you actually get your money's worth from the pass.

2. The Difficulty of Driving & Parking

You might consider renting a car, but Busan is famous for its complex road layouts and chronic parking shortages, especially near popular spots like Haeundae or Gamcheon Culture Village.

Parking Stress: Finding a spot can take 30 minutes, and parking fees add up quickly.
The Solution: Our professional drivers handle all the traffic and parking. You get dropped off right at the entrance and picked up as soon as you're done.

3. Muslim-Friendly Integration (The Core Advantage)

The Visit Busan Pass gets you into the attraction, but it doesn't help you find a place to pray or eat.

Finding Halal Spots: Searching for Halal restaurants in the middle of a tight "Pass schedule" is stressful.
KoreHalal Trip Exclusive: We integrate Prayer Times and Halal Dining into your itinerary. We know exactly which "Pass Attractions" have prayer rooms nearby and which restaurants serve authentic, Muslim-friendly Busan seafood.

Why Choose KoreHalal Trip?

If you want to explore Busan deeply, comfortably, and faithfully, combining the Visit Busan Pass with our private transport is the ultimate smart move.

Door-to-Door Comfort: No more walking long distances to subway stations.
Halal-First Itinerary: We prioritize your religious needs so you can enjoy sightseeing with peace of mind.
Expert Local Guides: Learn the hidden stories of Busan that you won't find in a pass brochure.
