How do you get to the city center from the Busan airport?
There are several options from the Busan Gimhae Airport, Busan, to the city center. You can take a combination of the Busan-Gimhae light rail transit and the subway from the airport to get to the city center. First, board the BGL at the airport towards the Sasang Station and then take either subway line 2, otherwise known as the green line, or subway line 1, the red line to where you need to go in the city center.
