Blending the city’s captivating nightscape with the eerie spirit of the season, the Busan Tourism Organization has launched the K-Horror Night Tour, a special nighttime bus tour program running every Saturday through the end of October, with an additional tour on Friday, Oct. 31.Nearly two years after the Summer Nighttime Tour in 2023, Busan’s nighttime bus program has made a thrilling comeback. Building on the success of last August’s Retro Night Tour, the new K-Horror Night Tour offers an even more engaging and immersive experience. The tour departs from the Busan City Tour stop near Busan Station and runs from 7 to 10 p.m. It features some of Busan’s most enchanting nighttime attractions, including Huinnyeoul Culture Village, Taejongdae Park and Gwangandaegyo Bridge. Inside the decorated bus, passengers can immerse themselves in a spooky, atmospheric setting while a professional storyteller shares spine-chilling folktales that bring traditional Korean ghosts vividly to life. Along the way, ghosts and monsters will make surprise appearances to intensify the suspense and excitement. To make the ride even more engaging, participants can join interactive segments throughout the journey, such as horror-themed quizzes. On Oct. 31, a costume contest will award the participant who best embodies K-Horror. Every passenger will also receive a horror-themed amulet card, which doubles as an entry ticket for a lottery drawing. Tickets are priced at 27,000 won for adults and 17,000 won for children aged 48 months to elementary school age.
