    Okay…. The thing is that (sorry again..) the is nothing really interesting & exciting to do in Busan (that is just the True !), so I recommend to stay only 2 nights / 1 day in Busan… this tower is cool for 5mn… no more…

    I visited the Busan Tower as it was part of my Visit Busan pass (which I would highly recommend buying). It’s easy to access from various areas, but we went up the hill via the escalators from Gwanbok. Getting tickets was easy, and before you know it, you’re ascending to the top of the tower in their speedy lifts. The views from the top were incredible, and the nice big windows meant you got the best views. There were also some interactive exhibits that were available once you’d finished the tower. They weren’t what I had expected but good fun nonetheless. If you’re visiting Busan, you should definitely put the Busan Tower on your list of things to see. The whole experience took around half an hour, but you can take as long as you want once you’re up there.

    Quite beautiful night view and colourful lighting outside. But the inside of the tower does not offer much. There’s some art pieces and decorations but they looked a bit random and I couldn’t see the theme/reason.

    The wonderful and unforgettable Busan! Check the my videos in this review and dream a wonderful Busan, area around the tower.. Busan Tower, visited in February, offered a mesmerizing experience with breathtaking views of the city. The tower, standing tall amidst the winter landscape, provided an unparalleled panorama of Busan's sprawling urban scenery. Despite the chilly weather, the observation decks allowed for uninterrupted vistas, showcasing the city's beauty both during the day and when illuminated at night. The tranquility at the top contrasted with the vibrant energy of the city below, creating a moment of serene reflection amidst the bustling surroundings. Visiting Busan Tower was not just about the view; it was an immersive journey into the heart of this vibrant city, leaving a lasting impression of its grandeur and charm.

    Busan Tower was so much more fun than I expected it was going to be! They make going through it into a game where you have to fun QR Codes throughout the many different exhibits within the tower and then when you found them all, you can get a prize from the gift shop. The staff was very friendly and excited to help us out and they welcomed us as foreigners and even spoke English to us (spoke very good English, in fact), but I knew I would've had a good time even if they hadn't. It just made the experience all the better. I also recommend to anyone going through the Tower to stop at the little cafe and get a drink. A very cute robot will make it for you perfectly. All in all, a wonderful experience and I will be back!!!

    The tower is a great place to relax and take pictures. There is even a game that you can play and win a prize if you decide to take the tour.

    Scenic place around the tower, cost 12000 krw/person to go up. Commanding view over Busan from the tower, though a little expensive, for a short duration within. Just nice cherry blossom trees near the foot of the tower, it blooms under late march to early april period and looks beautiful.

    Decent views from the top of the tower. Ticket to go up is KRW12000 for adults. Some exhibits to walk around, not just viewpoint. There’s also task to complete for a small gift in exchange. Not too bad!

    We visited the Diamond Tower at night. It was beautiful since the Tower was lit, and since it was evening it was very quite and relaxing. We enjoyed our time playing the game to find all the QR codes in the tower and we won a small prize which was fun ! There are plenty of rooms in the Tower where u can make cute pictures. And the view from the tower was mesmerizing.

    Visited on New Year's Eve. They were busy preparing for the evening's TV live broadcast from here. Fantastic views and is a great starting attraction for any new tourist to Busan to get a great overview of the city.

    View from the tower is okay, sad that there’s grey-ish stickers on the windows. Building is a bit old and worn out. Quest is kind of fun but the reward you get at the end is quite disappointing. Busan x the sky is a way better alternative if you want to see Busan from a high viewpoint!

  • 4/5 subbaiah T S. 6 months ago on Google • 48 reviews
    Lovely place to visit in Busan, though not a very tall tower but they have tried to make it interesting. The treasure hunt with the map will make it interesting for kids and adults . You need attest 2 hrs to enjoy the complete place . It’s one of the places in Busan that is open upto 10:00 pm. So it can be one of your last stops of the day. If you enter it from the BiFF square side there is an escalator that takes to the top .

    View on top is nice. No busy crowds durinh wintertime. Very accessible by public transport. Unfortunately you only have a 180 view instead of a 360 view on Busan. However the view is on the best part

    Not recommended! The busan tower itself looks great outside! However i'm not feeling great after getting inside! The windows are full of dirts and i cannot see the night views clearly..... i think the highest floor of lotte department store will render you a more satisfactory night view in Busan!!

    Why 3 stars? The Diamond Tower observatory is a proud symbol of the city of Busan. And rightly so! It is 120 meters high and offers brilliant day and night views across the city landscape, especially the city port. It is a must visit spot for all visitors. The tower was build in 1973 and it’s design was inspired by the Dabotap Pagoda in Gyeongju. The structure is situated in Yongdusan Park and does not have transmitting equipment which makes it distinct as a true observation deck for entertainment and relaxation. The base of the tower has a few shops and a cafe that has an automated/robotic barista. Place your order, scan your receipt and watch the apparatus move about as it makes your beverage. It is a spectacle of automated technology and entertainment. Before going up the high speed elevators, you walk through an exhibition hall that presents historical information about the tower. Once at the top, you are greeted with the panoramic views one would expect at such heights. After you take in the sights, you take the elevator to the base of the tower and navigate through other exhibits highlighted with neon colors and special effects. It is a fun and sensory-overload journey when exiting. I highly recommend it.

    Beautiful view of the city from the top. There's a little game to play in the tower, if you're interested. Visited on a weekend in November. Purchased ticket on spot without any wait. I went in the morning during opening hour.

    Nice view of the Busan skyline. There’s a CGI firework segment to look out for. At the time of my visit they offered a Treasure Hunt challenge which kept us engaged. The prize offered was a handkerchief at my time of participation. Tickets are priced reasonably at 12k won per adult for non citizens. Staff spoke English and were helpful as well. There’s also a coin souvenir machine, while the credit card payment was defective the staff was able to help us get one while we paid in cash. Would have been better if the windows were cleaned.

    Beautiful views con Busan tower! There is a nice place for having affordables snacks, terrace for great pictures and in 2 steps two interesting museums just around. If you are in budget it is not neccesary buy the tickets for climbing the tower, to get great views. I strongly recomend this visit!

  • 4/5 Alistair C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great views from on top, but the rest is dispensable. Senior discount price in 9000 won, but nobody asked to check my age (how dare they not!).

  • 5/5 Ho C. 1 year ago on Google
    Must go. Went there around 10pm after going Fashion street. Beautiful park and colourful tower. Got escalator up to the tower but not for down. Known as 40 steps stair. The escalator will seem stop n function when u go near. The entrance from ground floor is at the burger almighty shop. Didnt go the top of the tower. Jz go around the park, observation deck is good.

  • 5/5 Saroop C. 1 year ago on Google
    Must see tower in Busan. We went during the day but I heard they do fireworks at night. You will get a great view of Busan in the tower with the sea and the colourful buildings. There are also artsy floors below the observation area, so when you are going back down, there will be a few things to see and do

  • 5/5 Aysin Y. 10 months ago on Google
    I read people’s comments before going and didn’t have much expectations. But, I spent good time here. I actually liked the game and even won a cute pen. They included different exhibitions to make it more fun to you. I like taking pictures in them. Only comment is windows made the view a bit foggy.

  • 5/5 Vladimir P. 8 months ago on Google
    Besides the great view, it has funny mision you can accomplish as you go through various levels of the tower, I liked design of the rooms which makes experience memorable 😃

  • 2/5 Pure 8 months ago on Google
    There's nothing special. I wonder if there is any need to pay money to go up. The view of Busan from the ground is more beautiful than the view from high up. Both during the day and at night

  • 5/5 Jamie P. 1 year ago on Google
    Well worth a visit for views over the Jagalchi part of Busan and the harbour. A few floors to visit and if you want there's an activity to do around each area to get a random small gift at the end. A couple of small cafes too - including I've with a robot drinks maker you can watch whilst it makes your drink!

  • 5/5 Fa 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't get a chance to go up to the tower. The elevator from the street that take you up to the tower is beautiful. From outside, the tower and its surrounding are very beautiful. The scenery from the cafe next to the tower is also very nice. Lots of activities around the tower area.

  • 4/5 Pasan S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's nice to go up there to view the 360° of Busan city, and alternatively, play a game "finding diamonds" on the way to get a reward. And there is a cafe on the second floor to enjoy the sun and view of the city.

  • 5/5 Gabrien J. 1 year ago on Google
    The best place to see the view of Busan City. As my plan trip to Busan is last minute, so I have to a ticket on the ticketing just beside the entry of Busan Tower. The ticket cost me KRW12,000. Even though a little bit expensive but really worth it. Not only you can see the view of Busan city from the observation deck, there are also some art attraction in there. Overall, the best experience ever.

  • 5/5 Huyen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great view of Busan in the tower with the sea and the colourful Busan tower. There are also artsy floors below the observation area, there will be a few things to see and do, also shopping street nearly.

  • 5/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    For us, it was hard to walk to (Google maps doesn't do walking directions here), but worth it. Did not expect all the activities that enhanced the experience. We played the qr code hunt game... a lot of fun. The night "Fireworks" imaging was nice, as well as all the other interactive additions. The park surrounding was nice to stroll. Overall, it was a fun surprise and a very special evening.

  • 3/5 Jane G. 1 year ago on Google
    Personally thought it wasn't worth the $12 price tag. The views at the top were nice and there were a lot of gimmicky floors to try to keep you entertained, but honestly it feels like you're only paying for the views at the top.

  • 5/5 Aleksandra F. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth to visit and buy the ticket to go up and enjoy the views of the city. You can also participate in the quiz scanning QR codes inside and get small prizes in the end. Surroundings are also beautiful.
