Songdo Bay Station (Songdo Cable Car)

An incredible experience and a must for anyone visiting Busan! We chose the Crystal Cruise cabin with the clear glass floor, and I highly recommend it for the added thrill. Floating 86 meters above the sparkling emerald sea is unforgettable. The views of Songdo Beach, Namhang Bridge, the rugged coastline, and the city are spectacular from start to finish. The journey takes you to Songdo Sky Park at the upper station, which is a destination in itself. There are beautiful observation decks, fun photo opportunities (including a dinosaur park), and lovely walking trails. Pro tip: After the cable car ride, walk along the Songdo Cloud Trails (the skywalk) next to the station. It is another fantastic way to enjoy the ocean scenery. It is best to book tickets online to avoid long queues, especially on weekends. However, you can only use online tickets the next day.

We visited the Songdo Cable Car on a weekday in October. There was a moderate lineup for the standard cruise. I would guess that the weekend crowds in the Summer would be insane. We opted to pay KRW17000 pp to ride the "Crystal Cruise" which allows you to bypass the lineup for the standard cruise (KRW13,000 pp) and ride in a glass bottom car. Because nobody else paid the extra, we were the only two passengers in the glass bottom cable car. Gimmicky, but still fun. It is a decently long ride with spectacular views. We only went one way. After we explored the suspension bridge on the other side, we ordered an Uber taxi and went to Gamcheon.

Loved it. The ticket line was quick with both machines and a counter available, and everything moved efficiently. They never forced a full eight people into a car and tried to keep each group together. The first time I went there was a big line, but they still paired me with just one other person. The ride back was just as smooth. I chose the clear glass bottom option and it was amazing to see jellyfish drifting below. A fun and unique experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Busan.

There's two places you can take the cable car ride...we went to the top part and took a one way transfer down. You can take countries as well. Very affordable and a fun little ride! After being dropped off below we were able to eat and check out the beach and bay.

Fun experience to do, we bought retour tickets. The view is amazing, especially at night. When we went it was still light outside so the glass floor ticket was worth it, however the ride back it was already dark and you couldn't see anything and the floor was really unnecessary.

Coming here is worth it. Spend the extra money and get the glass floor. They do have a warning sign that if you're afraid of heights maybe not get the glass floor, but I say take that chance. The cable will take you you another location that is kid friendly. They have a dinosaur park and stray cats to look at. If your adventurous, you can go higher or lower to get pictures. I recommend not going when it's hot though.

Felt like you can pick the normal capsule cabin will be as good a ride as the crystal one with see through bottom. This is because the surround views are more than impressive to keep you occupied throughout the ride across the bay.

Amazing experience and views of coastal area. Really enjoyed the ride and park. We went in the evening so we had both daylight and night view. The cabin with the transparent floor give you a bit of priority for boarding
