The best time to visit Busan Tower is at sunset, when you can enjoy the daytime views, watch the sun go down over the city, and then admire the spectacular illuminated nightscape. As for the best season, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer more pleasant weather and clearer skies. Try to avoid weekends if you want fewer crowds.
