Songdo once had a famous sea cable car, and 29 years after it stopped, Busan rebuilt it as the Air Cruise. Cabins swing out over the water from Songnim Park at the east end of Songdo Beach to Amnam Park on the west side, and some are Crystal cabins with clear floors. At the stations you'll also find a small cable car museum and the Sky Swing.

Tips

  • The glass-floored Crystal cabins cost KRW 5,000 more per adult for a round trip; worth it if you want to see the waves under your feet.
  • With a round-trip ticket, keep it on you: staff check it before you board again for the return.
