A scenic view of the Han River from Oksu Pier before boarding the river bus

I am excited to share my vivid review of the Han River Bus (한강 버스), the newest rising attraction in Seoul. For just 3,000 won, you can experience the breathtaking scenery and romantic sunset of the Han River, making it the perfect date course or family outing. In this post, I’ve summarized everything from essential ticket tips and how to enjoy your waiting time to the stunning sunset views from inside the bus. Make sure to check these details before your visit to ensure a smooth and memorable trip.

4 Essential Tips for a Smooth Han River Bus Experience

To enjoy the Han River Bus without any hiccups, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First, you must accurately locate the pier, and second, be aware that the departure times for the Magok-bound and Jamsil-bound routes differ significantly.

The most crucial point is the ticket distribution time. Tickets are usually handed out on-site 40 to 50 minutes before departure, and once the limited supply is gone, you cannot board. Additionally, boarding might be restricted if not enough people disembark at previous stops, so it is wise to arrive with plenty of time to spare.

A Romantic Route from Oksu Pier to Mangwon Station

My journey started at Oksu Pier, passing through Apgujeong and Yeouido before arriving at Mangwon Station. This route takes about 40 minutes to an hour and offers a great overview of Seoul's major riverside landmarks.

How to Buy Tickets and Make the Most of Your Wait

There are two ways to pay for your ride. If you don't have a transportation card, you can purchase a ticket for 3,000 won at the kiosk. If you already have a card, you must still collect a physical ticket first and then tap your card on the terminal when boarding. Regardless of your payment method, getting your physical ticket first is the top priority. Outdoor dining area at the pier where passengers can enjoy ramen while waiting

Even if you have to wait an hour, there is plenty to do. There is a convenience store and a chicken shop right next to the pier, where you can enjoy the famous "Han River Ramen." Sitting at the outdoor tables on the second floor of Oksu Pier while watching the calm river is a healing experience in itself.

Comfortable Interior and the Best Seats for Panoramic Views

About 10 minutes before boarding, the staff will check your ticket and guide you to the boarding line. The interior of the bus is surprisingly spacious and clean. Since seats are not assigned, you should move quickly if you want to snag a window seat for the best view. Interior view of the Han River bus with panoramic glass windows showing the riverfront

Witnessing the Golden Sunset Through Glass Walls

The Han River Bus truly shines as the sun begins to set. Because the walls and ceiling are made of glass, you get an unobstructed, panoramic view of the golden horizon. The atmosphere is so romantic that it rivals expensive luxury cruises. Animated view of the golden sunset over the Han River from the moving bus deck

On a clear day, I highly recommend stepping out onto the outdoor deck. Feeling the cool river breeze while watching the bridges and other boats pass by allows you to discover a completely different side of Seoul.

A Perfect Finish at Mangwon Station

The journey concludes at Mangwon Station just as the city lights begin to twinkle. After getting off, walking to the nearby Mangwon-dong area for a delicious dinner is the perfect way to end your half-day trip. Panoramic night view of the city skyline as the Han River bus approaches the station
