This year, the city tour program has been newly revamped to increase tourist satisfaction and revitalize the local economy by adding a 1-night 2-day course and operating customized courses for groups of 35 or more.

The ‘Pohang Circular Course’ runs four times a day from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM every Saturday and Sunday, passing through Jukdo Market, Yeongildae Beach, and Space Walk.

The boarding points are operated at two locations: Pohang Station and the intercity bus terminal. The previous reservation system for groups of 15 or more has been changed to a regular circular system, allowing tours without reservations to enhance tourist convenience.

The newly added ‘1-night 2-day course’ is designed to tour the Nam-gu area on the first day, including Guryongpo Japanese House Street, Homigot Square, and Homigot Peninsula Trail, and explore major tourist spots in Buk-gu on the second day, such as Space Walk and Igaridat Observatory.

With the addition of the 1-night 2-day city tour covering both Nam-gu and Buk-gu areas, it is expected to contribute to the local economy by encouraging tourists to stay longer in Pohang as a ‘stay-type tourism.’

Customized courses for groups of 35 or more are also available. The ‘Pohang Free Pass Course’ allows group tourists such as hiking clubs and social clubs to customize the route according to their desired schedule, meeting the demand of tourists.

The Pohang city tour bus fares are set at 12,000 KRW for the 1-night 2-day course, 6,000 KRW for the all-day course and Pohang Free Pass course, and 4,500 KRW for the Pohang Circular Course, based on adult fares. Reservations and inquiries can be made on the Pohang Culture and Tourism website ‘PohangPohang Travel.’

Yoon Cheon-su, Director of the Tourism Industry Division, said, “By operating the Pohang city tour bus linking major tourist sites, traditional markets, and alleyway commercial districts, we will promote healthy consumption by tourists and lead the revitalization of the local economy.” He added, “We will strive to develop distinctive programs so that tourists can experience the charm of Pohang and revisit.”
