Create an itinerary including BIFF Square
Originally known as a small hub of improvized cinemas during Japanese colonial rule, BIFF Square today represents the center of Korea's modern film industry. Renovated and transformed in 1996, the site quickly became a cultural tourist attraction, especially for movie lovers and directors. Experience the crowded first-run theaters, which only a small number of Asian and European cities can host to begin with. Besides focusing on films and entertainment, the district also contains an abundance of restaurants, leisure facilities, and shops, so you can purchase affordable food, fashionable clothing, and meet new people anywhere you turn.

  • Market stalls abound selling local wares. There are lots of eating joints but not many with English menu. The market Jagaichi is also nearby. That is a better spot for lunch.

  • Enjoyed walking through the BIFF Square area, a lot of information about the history of Korea in film. I went to the Busan Film Festival library and got to have some lovely experiences with the music and film there. High recommend to visit the BIFF library on 4flr. Enjoyed some street food too. It's such a vibrant environment.
  • Wow this area is cool worth the visit lots of stalls for street food and stores are great. had the chance to hit the new amazing coffee shop called RENDEJA-VOUS. it's really nice and the drinks are good. also the street vendor had this fried cake filled with nuts which was the newest thing happening. def worth a visit and try
  • Best place to looking for Korean street food! Just take a subway and make a stop at Jagalchi station. So many Korean street food can be found here. Of course, all are delicious! 🤭👍🏻👍🏻
  • : I really enjoyed walking through the local area which used to be just 2 cinemas, before becoming such a big district filled with such lovely information about the history of Korea in film. We went during the Busan Film Festival week and got to have some lovely experiences with the market there, enjoyed some street food, and got to see the celebrity 'hands" on gold plates on the ground. It's such a vibrant environment
  • A good place to find food and walk around. Most of the sellers can understand basic English. Best to bring cash if you want to go this place. It comes alive at night, less in the morning
