Busan Stores

There are a loooot of pharmacies in Busan, but they’re quite different from the ones you’ll find in Seoul. Most pharmacies are focused primarily on medicines and healthcare products, rather than being a browse-and-shop experience. Even when they carry skincare products, you’ll usually need to ask the pharmacist for them instead of being able to walk around and browse the shelves like you can in Seoul. We also couldn't find a one-stop shops for Korean snacks. Unlike Seoul, where it’s easy to find stores packed with snacks, cosmetics, and tourist souvenirs, Busan doesn’t seem to have as many. The main souvenir shop we came across was around Nampo-dong (a ₩10,000 shop) but they mostly sell general Korea-themed merchandise.
