Gimhae International Airport (PUS) serves Busan, South Korea’s vibrant coastal second city. The Busan-Gimhae Light Rail Transit (BGL) connects directly to Busan Metro Line 2 (Sasang) and Line 3 (Daejeo) for easy access to Seomyeon and Haeundae Beach.
To reach downtown Seomyeon, take the Busan-Gimhae Light Rail to Sasang Station (6 min) and transfer to Metro Line 2 directly to Seomyeon (15 min)—total trip takes 28 minutes for ₩3,000 (~$2.20). For Haeundae Beach, take the direct Haeundae Limousine Bus (Route No. 7100) for ₩9,500 (~$7.00) to skip carrying luggage through metro transfers.
PUS has two adjacent passenger terminals: International and Domestic. The light rail station is located directly across the street from both terminal exits via a covered crosswalk.
Unlicensed drivers occasionally approach arriving passengers near the exit doors. Politely decline and walk to the official taxi queue or board the BGL light rail.
BGL trains run until 23:45. Late-night arrivals can take official metered taxis (~₩18,000 to Seomyeon, ~₩30,000 to Haeundae Beach).
Traveling with heavy suitcases, young children, or landing after midnight? Pre-book a fixed-price private airport transfer or express rail pass on Klook with instant confirmation and no meter haggling.
Airport Wi-Fi often drops outside the terminal curb where Kakao T / Uber (UT) pickup zones are located. Install a local eSIM before your flight so you can order a ride, translate station signs, and show digital train QR tickets immediately after landing.
