One of Busan's most beloved traditional markets, Gupo Market is a lively covered marketplace where visitors shop for fresh ingredients using an Onnuri gift certificate. Browse vibrant stalls, pick out produce for the cooking class ahead, and snack on local street food like hotteok with any remaining budget.

Hands-on Korean cooking class followed by a rooftop dinner with city views.
▲ Korean Cooking Class at Gupo Youth Center Gamdong
Located just a short walk from Gupo Market, this modern shared kitchen is where freshly purchased market ingredients come to life. Under guided instruction, participants cook pajeon (Korean pancake) alongside noodles or fish cake soup with kimbap, then sit down together to enjoy a delicious home-style Korean meal.

Handcrafted personalized Hangul name keychain with iridescent mother-of-pearl inlay design.
▲ Korean Name Keychain Making at Milddang Broi
At the final stop of the day, visitors design and create their own personalized Hangul (Korean) name keychain using traditional nacre (mother-of-pearl) inlay techniques. Each piece is uniquely handcrafted, making it a meaningful and stylish Korean souvenir to take home as a lasting memory of Busan — plus, leave a review and receive 1 free beer can!
