Daily Busan
Gifts from around the world
The International Friendship Hall was recently remodeled to accomodate more items.
The International Friendship Hall, located on the first floor of Busan City Hall, showcases gifts from Busan's sister and friendship cities from around the world. The items on display offer insight into different cultures, including traditional crafts, costumes, instruments and pottery.
Originally opened in February 2013, the IFH highlights Busan's achievements in city diplomacy. It is popular with people looking to experience different cultures and receives thousands of visitors yearly.
Since 2022, Busan has added three sister cities and 11 friendship cities and now boasts 51 global partners. As a result, the IFH was remodeled last year to accommodate additional gifts. The new space also features English displays and videos promoting various sister and friendship cities. Staff members are on hand to provide additional information.
The IFH is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is closed from noon to 1 p.m.
