    A street for shopping
    The street is lined with stalls selling a variety of goods from souvenirs, clothes, accessories and street food. The other streets are lined with formal stores like coffee shops, restaurants and electronic shops. For souvenir shops you can haggle but only a little and most will say the price is fixed. But if you buy plenty, they will give you some discount or free items. A good place to buy anything to take back home at a cheap price.

    Another "familiar" shopping street......
    Basically, this is not much different from the countless shopping streets found in every major city in Korea ( like Myeongdong in Seoul ) - its just a normal shopping street with the usual street vendors selling street food and merchandise, many shops & restaurants. Of course, some are bigger & some smaller . And some sell more or have extra different products than others. But generally speaking, all are similar. If you have been to Korea few times & visited different cities, probably you understood what I meant.

    Cute
    We went around BIFF square looking for a money exchange shop. The streets were filled with cute little statues depicting all sorts of movie characters. But, it was crowded with tourists and vendors.

Street Food Heaven
Dec 2019
If you love Hotteok, just drop to a Hotteok Seller in front of Olive Young. The taste is sooo yummy. Even better that the one that I taste in Myeongdong.

The street food market I guess is also cheaper compare street food in Seoul. And it less crowded as well.

There are several shops and outlets if you wants to shop or buy some souvenirs. so if you have more time, I guess better to shop here than in Myeongdong.

Bustling street with many food stalls
Feb 2023
Located near to Jagalchi Metro Station, BIFF Square is a great place to go to shop for souvenirs and have great street food. Many stalls selling Korean snacks such as tteokbokki, fish cake, sundae and mandu, all within a reasonable price. Good experience to stand by a stall to eat food in the cold weather. Recommended!

Street foods
Dec 2022 • Family
Went here on sunday afternoon and the place was crowded. Busy street with many food stalls surrounded by shops. To be honest, we were too busy sampling the foods than looking for the remnants of the film festival. Short taxi ride from the gamcheon cultural village, can combine both within 1 day. Allowed 2-3 hours to wonder around.

Lots of good street food at night
Sep 2019 • Couples
Went there during a rainy day, so it wasn’t happening. Went there later that night and it was much busier. Had a lot to choose from if you like street food.
Saw some long lines and had some tasty treats. See a lot of interesting things there.

What’s the point of going here?
Jan 2020 • Friends
Basically it’s a street market like many others. Nothing unique or particularly interesting. Had some decent food or I would have rated it 1 star. Go instead to the Jalgachi seafood market right nearby.

A True Busan Experience!!
Nov 2022
The feel around BIFF was like Myeongdong. But it has its own identity. The food around is so good and affordable. The stores are very colorful. Since it was in front of our hotel, I was walking in the area almost every morning and night.

Busan's Myeongdong but smaller......
Dec 2022 • Family
Like Myeongdong Street but smaller. Not as busy as before but suppose the crowds will pick as time goes on. Every city has similar tourists shopping streets. Located near Jagalchi Market.

A must visit place in Busan
Mar 2020 • Couples
This is a must place to visit in Busan. The night market offers numerous of street food which is beyond imagination. It is very delicious, affordable and worth to try. BIFF Square is easy access and very near to bus and train station. Walking distance to Jagalchi Market, Busan Tower, Gukje Market and Fashion Street.

You're gonna love the street food here!
Jun 2014 • Family
To get there, take Busan subway Line 1, Jagalchi Station Exit 7.

BIFF square is basically streets of great shopping, including some niche boutique shops and street merchants who will show up in the late evening. The goods sold by the street merchants are not really unique but you will love the shopping at those proper shopfronts, offering made in Korea clothing and shoes at great prices.

The main reason that drew us there every night was the street food! You gotta try the fried rice-cakes (hotteok in korean) with pine nuts. There are 2 stalls side by side near the entrance of BIFF square where you will find long queues. Join the queue and get at least 2 of these yummy snacks. Each costs only 1000won. Pic here: (http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-l/01/ea/8c/49/caption.jpg).

Walk along the main shopping street (lined with make-shift street merchants) and you will find another row of street paddlers selling yummy Korean snacks. Look out for one that sells Tempura. Park yourself there for the next 30 mins, and savour the freshly fried sweet potato, squid, chilli and dumplings with their sweet and sour sauce. I had this every night when I was in Busan! Its that good and at a great price! LOL!

Unknown to a lot of tourists.... tuck along one of those street is one filled with electronic shops selling made-in-Korea electronics such as LED lights and solar panels. This will be a great hideout for the men while the women go crazy shopping in the other streets.

The underground shopping street along Nampo and Jagalchi also offers great shopping. So if its raining outdoors, these underground stalls will also give you plenty of reason to spend your won! Just note that most of these shops open at 11am. So if you are there early, you can head to the Jagalchi Fish Market for some fresh seafood while waiting for these shops to open.

Am sure you will have fun shopping and eating those terrific Korean snacks! Make sure you include BIFF square into your itinerary!
