Which Busan Pass plan should you choose?
Buying the Busan Pass is all about taking advantage of its great value to explore attractions, so we suggest first checking whether the places you originally plan to visit are covered by the Busan Pass. If you’re pairing lots of attractions and experiences, we recommend getting the “time-based” plan, then adjust your itinerary by travel distance so you can concentrate your Busan Pass activities into 1–2 days. If there aren’t many spots you want to visit, opt for the “quantity-based” plan—this way you’ll save on costs and won’t end up with an overly tight schedule due to time limits.
