If you need a reason to visit Busan, this might be it — an all-in-one travel pass that gives you access to the city's major attractions for as low as RM150

The Visit Busan Pass, introduced by the city's tourism board, is designed to encourage visitors to explore more of what Busan has to offer.

The pass offers tourists free entry to over 30 popular attractions and activities, as well as discounts at more than 150 shops and restaurants across the scenic seaside city.

The Visit Busan Pass is exclusively for non-Korean tourists. Korean citizens are not allowed to use these passes and would not be allowed to enter attractions if they do buy the pass.

The 24-hour Visit Busan Pass is priced at 55,000 won (approximately RM147.40), making it a convenient all-in-one option for travellers looking to plan their itinerary.

Here's how we used the Visit Busan Pass in 24 hours:

With only a 3D2N itinerary in Busan, my group decided to activate the pass at 8.30pm on our first day to make the most of it.

We kicked things off with the Busan Diamond Bay Yacht experience — a relaxing 45-minute cruise offering stunning night views of Gwangan Bridge and Haeundae Beach from the sea.

After that, we headed to Hotel Aqua Palace Spa & Sauna, a 24-hour jjimjilbang (public bathhouse). While the facilities were a little dated, it was still a fun first-time Korean spa experience for us — wandering around barefoot and trying out the different temperature rooms that go up to 60°C.

The next day, we had lunch before heading to BUSAN X the SKY — Korea's highest observation deck and home to the world's highest Starbucks — where we took in sweeping views of the city skyline and braved its "shocking" glass-floor walkway 100 levels above ground that left us weak in the knees.

We then hopped on the Haeundae Beach Train, enjoying scenic coastal views from Mipo Station to Songjeong Station, with picturesque skywalks where we could hop off for photos along the way.

For a quick adrenaline rush to pick us up in the afternoon, we stopped by Skyline Luge Busan and raced each other down the tracks — a short, but seriously fun activity for anyone who loves a bit of competition.

We wrapped up the day at Spa Land Centum City, easily one of the highlights of the trip with its 13 themed jjimjilbangs and expansive spa facilities. With a self-service ramyeon bar and toppings buffet, it was the perfect way to unwind after a long day.

Was the Visit Busan Pass worth it?

As someone who loves a bargain, I'd say yes — absolutely.

These were the regular prices for the attractions we visited:
– Busan Diamond Bay Yacht: 40,000 won
– Hotel Aqua Palace Spa & Sauna: 25,000 won
– Busan X the Sky: 27,000 won
– Haeundae Beach Train: 16,000 won
– Skyline Luge Busan: 34,000 won
– Spa Land Centum City: 26,000 won

That's 168,000 won (around RM450) worth of activities — all for just RM150 with the pass!

Other Visit Busan Pass options

If 24 hours feels too rushed, there are other pass options available:
– 48-Hour Pass: 85,000 won
– Big 3 Pass: 45,000 won
– Big 5 Pass: 65,000 won

The Big 3 and Big 5 passes let you choose a set number of attractions instead of being time-based. Once you visit your first attraction, the pass remains valid for 180 days, perfect if you prefer a more flexible pace.

If you prefer going digital, the pass is also available on Klook and KKday, so you can keep it on your phone without needing a physical card.
