Visit Busan Pass: choose the right type

Understand time passes, BIG3/BIG5 limits and transport before buying.

01

Time or attraction count?

The pass is intended for foreign visitors. Time-limited passes and BIG3/BIG5 are different products. Check the current product's activation deadline, validity and participating attractions before paying.

02

BIG3 and BIG5 are not unlimited

BIG3 lets you choose one Group A (purple) attraction and two Group B (blue) attractions. BIG5 lets you choose two Group A and three Group B attractions. Blue does not mean unlimited free admission.

Use the official guidebook to check each attraction's group. Do not apply these selection rules to a time-limited pass.

03

Check the included ticket

Examples worth checking include Haeundae X the SKY, Skyline Luge, Spa Land, Songdo Marine Cable Car and Busan Tower. Inclusion can change. Check reservations, closing days, age restrictions, ticket exchange and any extra charges on the official attraction page.

Beach Train and Sky Capsule are different products. Do not assume a pass covers every product at an attraction, priority access or paid extras. Follow the actual inclusion shown for your pass.

04

Build a realistic day

As an editorial planning tip, group nearby attractions and leave time for travel and queues. Compare the cost of the tickets you would really buy, not a long list you cannot visit.

The physical pass can have a rechargeable transit function; fares require separate credit. The mobile pass is not a transit card. Attraction benefits do not mean unlimited bus and subway rides.
