Location and how to get there

The outdoor smoking area is at Exits 5 and 6, toward the Asti Hotel. When leaving the waiting hall, the Exit 5 side is the closest and easiest to find. Just remember that it is on the side toward the hotel, not on the plaza side (the front), and you won't get lost.

Things to note

Busan Metropolitan City imposes a 50,000 won fine for smoking outside designated areas. The Busan Station plaza and the taxi stand area are non-smoking zones, so be sure to use the designated area.

When you have a lot of luggage or are short on time

All you need to remember is that the Busan Station smoking area is not at the front of the plaza but on the side, at Exits 5 and 6 toward the Asti Hotel. If you are pulling a suitcase, going out through Exit 5 from the waiting hall is the shortest route. It is an outdoor area, so there are no time restrictions, but if you are about to take a KTX, we recommend going 10–15 minutes before departure to allow time for the ticket gates and getting to the platform.
