Barrier-free tourist spots in Busan that promote fair and accessible tourism

Route 1 : Haeundae Station (Busan Metro) − Aquarium − Dongbaek Park Coastal Trail/Nurimaru APEC House − The bay 101 The Haeundae Station of the Busan Metro provides elevators, and a space for charging electric wheelchairs. Once on the ground, walk along Gunamro, where braille blocks are installed. You cannot miss Busan Aquarium equipped with an audio guide for people with visual impairments. Dongbaek Park Coastal Trail throughout the park is wheelchair-friendly. Wheelchair rentals are available free of charge at Nurimaru APEC House(only for indoors). You can experience healing forests while strolling on the beautiful trail. Most of all, you can appreciate views of the mountains, the sea, and Gwangandaegyo Bridge all at once. Head out to The bay 101 located at the entrance of Dongbaekseom Island, where you can enjoy a meal or drink a cup of tea while gazing at the gorgeous night view. It also provides parking spaces, restrooms, and elevators for people with disabilities. Route 2 : Songdo Beach, Skywalk, Cable Car − Amnam Park Observatory Songdo Beach has a wheelchair accessible entrance with a gentle slope. Songdo Beach Skywalk, on the other hand, is Korea’s longest and curved sea overpath, which also has easily accessible facilities for people with disabilities. Electric wheelchairs are not allowed on the Songdo marine cable car for safety reasons; that is why it is recommended to change to a general wheelchair available on the spot. You can also enjoy the panoramic view of the sea at Sky Park Observatory (Amnam Park stop), which is equipped with accessible restrooms and other subsidiary facilities. Amnam Park is also one of the must-sees in Songdo. Its wheelchair-accessible trail is where you can enjoy the cool sea breeze and coastal scenery together. Route 3 : Songjeong Beach − Fisheries Science Museum − Orangdae Park − Daebyeonhang Port − Jukseong Catholic Church The deck-type trail along the white sandy beach of Songjeong Beach is wheelchair-friendly and, at the same time, provides accessible restrooms. The Fisheries Science Museum has a nice open-air observatory and a parking space and restrooms for people with disabilities. Admission is free of charge for the exhibition hall. Orangdae Park, the perfect place for enjoying the sunrise, is famous for its wheelchair-accessible trail located in front of the beach. Near the park, Daebyeon Port, a small fishing village with a beautiful lighthouse, is well known for anchovy, generally called Gijang Anchovy. Jukseong Catholic Church, which has become famous as a filming location for dramas, takes pride in its picturesque landscape together with the view of a sea and the cathedral building. It is also wheelchair-friendly but does not have sufficient parking space. Route 4 : Yeongdodaegyo Bridge − Kangkangee Arts Village − Jeoryeong Coastal Trail − Taejongdae Recreation Area Yeongdodaegyo Bridge is opened at 2 p.m. every day, and it is also wheelchair-friendly. However, when the bridge is crowded, people would not be able to see the spectacle. Kangkangee Arts Village in Daepyeong-dong used to have a cluster of shipyards. Today, it offers visitors the excitement of finding hidden works of art while quietly exploring the village. Because there are several dockyards and service companies in operation, it is recommended to visit the place on weekends or through the tour program. Jeoryeong Coastal Trail allows you to meet the nearest oceanic view of Yeongdo. It also provides relatively easy accessible routes for people who use wheelchairs, or parking spaces and restrooms for people with disabilities who walk from the entrance to Huin-yeoul Coastal Tunnel. Danubi Train is available in Taejongdae Park, which you can use to explore the entire recreation area. Wheelchair rentals are provided free of charge. Come and enjoy the grotesque rocks and vast blue sea of Taejongdae Park.
