A very useful and convenient pass. It is definitely worth the money as long as you plan your route well. You must buy a pass when you go to Busan for the first time.

The electronic voucher is very convenient to redeem and use, and you can visit many attractions, especially the cable car, which is super fun. It is highly recommended for Busan self-guided tours.

It's super cost-effective. This time we used the coast train and Songdao Cable Car, both of which are round trips. The most recommended thing is to take a yacht and pay extra to watch the fireworks.

The room was great, and the point is that the restaurant has unlimited coffee and hot cocoa, and free rain gear when it rains! The staff was great too! For breakfast, there are two options: abalone porridge and beef rice bowl! Abalone porridge is delicious
