Before you go

Book these aheadHaeundae Blueline Park, Cheongsapo (day 2): timed tickets, or tickets that often sell out.
Choose the right capsule directionThis route boards at Cheongsapo and gets off at Mipo. Match that direction and arrival time to your ticket; early boarding is not allowed.
Agree seafood prices firstAt Jagalchi and Millak, fish is priced by weight; confirm the price and any cooking charge before they prepare it.
Ride the subway between areasThe subway links Nampo-dong, Seomyeon and Haeundae, but taxis are faster to Gamcheon and the coast.
Check market closing daysJagalchi lists first and third Tuesday closures; confirm other dates. Gukje shops may close Sundays, so keep a nearby food-area alternative.
Respect temple etiquetteAt Haedong Yonggungsa, dress modestly, keep voices low and do not photograph people praying.

Where to stay for this plan

Stay in Nampo-dong for the old port day and easy trains, or in Haeundae if the beaches matter more to you.
