As more and more people think of their pets as family, more and more people want to travel with their pets. However, it’s not easy to find a travel destination you can visit with them. Have you ever wondered where you can have a good time with your pet in your chosen travel destination? If so, read on! The following is a list of excellent places for you to visit in Busan with your pet. Let’s have a look together!

Shinho Park

Shinho Park is famous for its tidal flats, which you might think would be impossible to find in Busan. There is also a pine forest and walking paths around Galmaet Trails, so it is a park that nearby residents often use. The park has soccer fields, basketball courts, and various exercise equipment, making it a great place to exercise or take a walk. There is also a water park for children to cool off in the summer heat.

If you walk around the park, you can find wide lawns everywhere. People enjoy gateball or park golf in the morning, and in the afternoon, when the park is crowded, you can see many residents with their dogs. Seeing the puppies happily running around on the wide lawn is so cute and refreshing.

There is also a stage in the park, and sometimes you can hear musicians playing their instruments and singing, so you can spend time enjoying the music surrounded by the natural greenery.

Although the park has well-established walking paths inside, there is a long trail along the side of the park, so you should take a walk with your dog and look at the sea and Gadeokdaegyo Bridge in the distance. When the weather is hot, you can take a pleasant walk with your pet on the tree-shaded trail inside the park.

Artificial Migratory Bird Habitat Myeongpum Dulle Trails

I think many people still don't know about this place. Originally, it was a place where the general public was prohibited from entering because it was a military operation area, so it is preserved as an internal wetland, its natural state. It has been open as a trail since July 2022.

Myeongpum Dulle Trails are neither too long nor too short, so they are perfect for a leisurely walk. Since it was a military operation area, the trail starts after passing through the iron gate. The trail that starts near Sodam Park continues right near Sinhodaegyo Bridge. However, please remember that there is no entrance near the bridge, so you have to go out the same way you came in.

The Dulle Trails start right next to the sea, so you can enjoy a walk while feeling the natural sea air. Thanks to the flooring laid on the ground, it is soft and comfortable, so you can walk without feeling tired on your feet. Also, a wetland is right next to it, so you can feel a little further away from the city center. Unfortunately, however, it is not yet possible to enter the wetland. The Myeongpum Dulle Trails are also connected to Galmaet Trails, and there is a small forest trail beside the road, so enjoy a walk there with your pet.

Finding a cafe where you can go with your pet is also something many pet owners have to consider. There is a cafe worth visiting with your pet not far from Artificial Migratory Bird Habitat Myeongpum Dulle Trails. The cafe has a large yard where you can run and play freely with your pets.

As soon as you enter the cafe, a spacious yard welcomes you, which is the perfect space to enjoy various games with your pet. Enjoy the cafe in the yard when the weather is nice or stay inside when the heat is at its peak.

When you enter the cafe, it is fun to see the furniture arranged differently for each space, and the light comes in brightly through the wide windows, giving it a very cozy feeling. Various products you will want to own are on display, and small exhibitions are held on certain days. It’s fun to look around.

Above all, the sunlight coming through the wide window is really bright, so if you take a picture with your pet, it is a photo spot where you can get hundreds of the pics of the day. Take pictures with your beloved pet and enjoy a relaxing time.
