Before we start the Busan market tour, let me introduce you in the order of good walking routes. The first place I visited was Jagalchi Market, Busan’s representative seafood market
The parking lot was important because I took my car, but there was a parking lot attached to Jagalchi Market, so I was able to park comfortably. It was the weekend, so I checked out early in the morning and went in a hurry, and I arrived at around 11 a.m. Later, I saw cars lined up in the afternoon
The parking lot at Jagalchi Market was 700 won every 10 minutes, and the daily parking was 21,000 won
I parked comfortably and took a big tour around the market, and there were many restaurants where you could see and choose fresh seafood
You can feel the distinctive culture and tradition of Busan, and the interior of the Busan market was filled with a lively atmosphere. It was impressive to see the merchants trim and groom seafood themselves
Since it is popular with tourists visiting Busan, it is a place where not only Koreans but also tourists from various countries such as Japanese and Chinese visit
The monument introducing the history and culture of Busan and the seagulls combined with the surrounding sea scenery were good to enjoy the atmosphere in Busan

The second market tour was a 10-minute walk from Jagalchi Market, so it was good to walk slowly and see the market. It was actually the setting for the movie “Ode to My Father,” and I could see the flower boy in the movie
It was a Japanese territory during the Japanese colonial period, and it is said that with the liberation of August 15, tens of thousands of Japanese people left their home countries, naturally creating a market in the empty space. At that time, it was called Dotegi Market at first
After the Korean War broke out, Busan was designated as the temporary capital, and refugees and U.S. military relief supplies flowed into Busan Port, leaving traces of handling foreign goods. In addition to the international market, traces can be found in Bupyeong Kkangtong Market
I was hungry because I came right after checking out the accommodation, but there was a place where stalls were concentrated in Busan International Market, and the Chungmu Gimbap and Bibimdangmyeon I accidentally ate here were so delicious that I still remember them. Busan is famous for fish cakes, and the fish cakes we ate together were really delicious
It’s a place where you can experience Busan’s traditional culture beyond just a tour of the Busan market, and it’s a good place to feel Busan’s various charms with BIFF Square and Gwangbok Shopping Street
- Bookstore Alley in Bosu-dong
▫️Address location: 67-1, Daecheong-ro, Jung-gu, Busan

After looking around the international market, I walked to the bookstore alley in Bosu-dong. I looked around and found that it was right across the street
The cute alleyways here were very impressive, and it was a romantic place. I could see various kinds of secondhand books, and there were many books I was glad to see
It’s a place where Busan’s traditional bookstore culture lives and breathes, and it will be a special experience for those who love books. There’s only a little left, so I felt sad. It’s an alley that I hope will be preserved for a long time
I bought a little prince’s book, and there were quite a few other books to read. It was fun to read various books such as domestic and foreign literary works, travel books, art major books, and comic books at an affordable price
There was also a cute photo studio between the narrow alleys, and I wanted to use it, but it was a small store that was operated by reservation
