Gamcheon Culture Village

Such a colorful and artistic place to explore! 🎨 The whole village feels like a giant open-air gallery with amazing murals, cute cafés, and lovely spots for photos. The view from the top is breathtaking, especially under the clear blue sky. Sitting on the yellow moon with The Little Prince statue was such a fun moment! 🌙 Definitely a must-visit when in Busan — full of charm, creativity, and great memories. 💛

Definitely a place worth visiting in person, the photos online really don’t do it justice! The walk up has a few uphill climbs, but it’s honestly not too bad, and every bit of effort is rewarded once you reach the top. The view of the village is absolutely stunning, peaceful, colorful, and full of charm. You can really take your time exploring the little alleys, enjoy the fresh air, and soak in the atmosphere. It’s one of those spots that feels even better in real life than it looks in pictures. A great place to relax, take photos, and just enjoy the scenery.

Gamcheon Culture Village is so spectacular and an absolute must see. We weren't aware of the opening time of the shops so arrived reasonably early in the morning. This however turned out to be excellent for us as the village was quiet. We met lots of friendly locals out exercising and had access to the prominent photo spots for ourselves. At one stage we sat outside the sports building, located at the top back of the village. From the top of the building, there is a viewing platform. It was not meant to open until 9am however the extremely kind staff in the building let us in and gave us a personalised escort to the roof. We had access to the whole area ourselves! The village is free to visit and is open all the time. The shops and eateries however don't open until 9am. By the time we finished taking in the views, the shops and other tourists began to arrive. This gave us a good chance to shop for souvenirs and take in more of the atmosphere. To me the village is an absolute must see!

Absolutely worth visit! Lots of super cute cafes, Lookouts, Photos spots and souvenir shops. I would allow at least a couple of hours to really take your time and explore, and go either very early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds. Easy enough to get a taxi in and out.

What an amazing village. Originally a settlement for Korean War refugees, it has been transformed into a vibrant arts and culture area with cafés, workshops. Locals also still lives there. You can get lost for hours admiring all pieces of arts and colours. It is quite busy but it's totally worth it Map is recommended if you want to get to specific highlights

A vibrant "village of painted boxes" nestled on a seaside mountain in Busan. This once-impoverished neighborhood has been transformed into a colorful labyrinth of art, with murals, sculptures, and charming alleyways. It's a photographer's paradise and a unique cultural experience. Be prepared for walking and stairs.

Gamcheon Culture Village. It was truly impressed by how this once declining neighborhood has been transformed into such a colorful and vibrant place. The bright houses, creative murals, and artistic atmosphere make it a joy to explore. It’s beautiful and inspiring. There were many international visitors enjoying the views, and the small shops selling cute and unique souvenirs added even more charm. It’s amazing to see how the community turned its history into something so lively and proud. A must-visit spot in Busan!

Wonderful place. Gamcheon Culture Village is a vibrant maze of color and creativity! Every alley bursts with murals, art installations, and cozy cafés. The view of Busan’s hillside homes is breathtaking—an absolute must-visit for culture lovers and photographers alike. You'll spend 4 hours here at least
