National Maritime Museum of Korea
국립해양박물관
A national museum built out over the water at Dongsam-dong on Yeongdo, and the one indoor place that takes Busan's identity as a port head-on. Saturday closing is 21:00 only from May to August and 19:00 the rest of the year, so a summer evening and a winter one are not the same plan.

Busan Coast Guard Station
A working coast guard station. There are no visiting hours, no admission and no tour, so seeing the seafront building from outside is the whole of a visit.
Taejongdae Resort Park
Choose between walking the hilly loop and using the Danubi Train; train hours, queues, and weather closures are separate from the park's general access.
Busandaegyo Bridge
A steel arch bridge linking Yeongdo to the old city centre. It can be crossed on foot, and Busan Port opens up from the middle of it.
Kangkangee Arts Village
A village where the repair yards still run. The name comes from the sound of hammers on rusted hulls, and the workshops share its lanes with small cafés.
