Sky Capsule: what to know
- Capsules are priced per capsule (for 2, 3 or 4 people), not per person. The one-way ride takes about 30 minutes.
- Start at Mipo if you can: the Mipo-to-Cheongsapo direction runs on the track nearer the open sea, so those slots go first.
- A combo ticket (one-way capsule + Beach Train pass) lets you ride the capsule out and the train back.
- It sells out on weekends and at sunset. Book a time slot in advance.
- Hours change by season; check the official Haeundae Blueline Park site before you go.
