Namhangdaegyo Bridge in Seo-gu, Busan is free and open 24/7, and it is the only bridge on the Busan Coastal Beltway with a pedestrian path.
How to Get to Namhangdaegyo Bridge from Central Busan
| Where | Namhangdaegyo Bridge, Amnam-dong, Seo-gu, Busan (runs to Yeongseon-dong, Yeongdo-gu) |
|---|---|
| Hours | At all times, open all year round |
| Fee | Free |
| Category | Walking tour (city guide listing) |
| How to get there | Metro Line 1 to Jagalchi Station (Exit 2) → bus 26, 30, 6, 71, 96 or 96-1 → Amnam-dong Community Center → 10-min walk |
| Parking | Namhangdaegyo Bridge Public Parking Lot |
| Phone | +82-51-780-0077 |
Take Metro Line 1 to Jagalchi Station, leave by Exit 2, and transfer to one of the buses that crosses toward Amnam-dong.
Bus 26, 30, 6, 71, 96, or 96-1 all work; get off at Amnam-dong Community Center, and the bridge trailhead is a 10-minute walk from that stop.
The bridge has no metro stop of its own, so the city guide routes every visitor through Jagalchi Station plus a bus.
If you are arriving by car, the city guide names the Namhangdaegyo Bridge Public Parking Lot but lists no fee or operating hours, so calling +82-51-780-0077 before you go is the safe move.
Hours and Fees: What Does Namhangdaegyo Bridge Cost?
The bridge is open at all times, all year round, and walking it costs nothing.
Busan Metropolitan City’s English guide (visitbusan.net, checked October 7, 2026) lists Namhangdaegyo Bridge as open at all times, all year round, with a fee of Free.
Since no booking or reservation is needed, you can fold it into any day of your trip; if the weather turns bad, the bridge walk is the easiest thing on your schedule to move.
What You See on the Ocean Trail
You get a working harbor crossing, not just a bridge: white and red Twin Lighthouses face each other at the Namhang Breakwater, and the bridge runs parallel to them.
The city guide’s description has you watching ships sail in and out of Namhang Port, with Jagalchi Market and Busan Tower visible farther off in the distance.
From the waterside park in Yeongdo, the silhouettes of large ships sit in the distant sea.
If you want the harbor-and-lighthouse view, walk the trail at an easy pace; the exact crossing time is not stated on the city guide, so plan generously.
Walking or Biking the Bridge: What Kind of Footpath Is It?
It is the only bridge connecting the Busan Coastal Beltway that has a pedestrian path, and you can cross it on foot or on a two-wheeler.
The path is a flat ocean trail suitable for strolling, so it works with a stroller; whether bicycles face restrictions during peak hours is not stated on the city guide.
If you want a slow walk with harbor views, come on foot; if you are linking Seo-gu and Yeongdo on two wheels, the pedestrian path takes bicycles and two-wheelers too.
Fitting the Bridge into a Day in Busan
The walk pairs naturally with the rest of a Busan day because its two ends sit near other city stops.
| Pairing | Where it sits relative to the bridge |
|---|---|
| Songdo Beach and Songdo Marine Cable Car | A short bus ride from the Amnam-dong side |
| Jagalchi Market | Near your starting station, Jagalchi Station (Exit 2) |
| KTX from Seoul | Check today’s Seoul–Busan timetable: https://koreankorea.com/ktx-seoul-to-busan-timetable/ |
The city guide points to Songdo Beach and the Songdo Marine Cable Car as a short bus ride from the Amnam-dong side, and Jagalchi Market near your starting station.
For visitors coming down from Seoul, checking today’s Seoul–Busan KTX timetable is the first planning step: https://koreankorea.com/ktx-seoul-to-busan-timetable/
If you want one bridge walk plus one beach afternoon, the Songdo side is the simplest pairing; the cable car’s exact fare is not listed on the city guide, so treat any online figure as provisional.
Where to Eat Near the Bridge
Food options near the walk start at the Seo-gu end.
The city’s guide keeps a page of places to eat in Seo-gu, which covers the Amnam-dong side of the bridge: https://koreankorea.com/where-to-eat-in-busan-seo/
If you end the walk at the Yeongdo side, the same city guide carries the wider Busan food pages by district; pairing a bridge walk with a Seo-gu meal keeps the day within one metro zone.
I’d go at sunset and early evening, since the trail is free, always open, and the bridge is lit just as the ships return to Namhang Port.
