■ I liked this!
- I was able to naturally experience Busan's old atmosphere and historical moments while walking slowly along the stairs.
- There are various art pieces and photo zones here and there, such as an accordion-playing statue and a refugee landscape, making it great for taking pictures with family and friends.
- When you climb the stairs, you can see Busan Port and the city at a glance, making the view impressive.
- Despite being close to the main street, each alley has a calm atmosphere, making it perfect for a walk.
- The nearby shops and tea houses blend in with the alley atmosphere, adding to the fun and leisure of your stay.
■ Street atmosphere
The 40 Steps area is a unique harmony of bricks with traces of time, old signs, and murals and statues added on top. Although it is a short distance, you can enjoy a walk along the alley filled with longing and warmth, as there are hidden attractions and stories here and there.
■ Location & Directions
Get off at Exit 11 of Jungang Station on Subway Line 1 and walk along the alley for about 5 minutes. It is easy to access because it is close to famous village buses and taxi routes, and there are well-prepared signs and guide maps even for first-time visitors. It is good to visit major tourist attractions such as Yongdusan Park, Food Alley, and Gukje Market at the same time.
■ Visiting Tips
- If you walk from the bottom of the stairs to the top, you will be impressed by the scenery and sculptures at the end.
- If you want to take emotional photos with the 40 steps in the background, it is recommended to visit in the morning or at sunset.
- If you find a nearby alley restaurant or dessert cafe in advance, it is good to take a break after the walk.
- If you study the historical background using the information boards and QR codes installed in the middle of the stairs, you will have a richer experience.
