The name of "40 Steps" refers to the number of steps in a staircase, and this place gained prominence during the Korean War when it served as a landmark for people from all over the country seeking lost family members or relatives who fled to Busan. It holds a poignant history as a refuge during the tragic times of the Korean War, allowing visitors to explore Korea's unfortunate past.

Just follow the signage to this place. You could be at the top or bottoms of the concrete staircase. If coming from Haegwan-ro, you see many sculptures leading to this place. Besides Starbucks, there are many Korean cafes & food restaurants. A good place to take a break. It’s also walking distance to Yongdusan Park. And about 1 Km walk to Gukje/Kkangtong/BIFF.

Can be quite misleading to find the location! Be reminded to go down the stairs if one was up the stairs on arrival, otherwise one would go round and round with the gps on google maps. I did not bother to go back to the Cultural Centre there but did visit the 40steps and the vicinity. Average place of interest in my opinion.

Beautiful space where people come and go, enjoying their daily rituals. Autumn foliage is on display on the trees and on the awesome 4 story mosaic staircase. The sculptures make you think of how hard older generations had it, and make you smile as you see grey haired locals pass you by

On the main street there are some bronze sculptures showing the passed life of Busan people after the Japanese occupation. Interesting but not so easy to find and without knowing what it means, it's nothing special.
