Centum City, Urban development district in Haeundae, South Korea
Centum City is a business district in Busan with modern buildings, large shopping centers, and entertainment facilities spread across the area. The space features glass towers, wide walkways, and numerous restaurants, cinemas, and shops that shape a contemporary urban landscape.
The district emerged starting in 1997 from the transformation of Suyeong Airport into a commercial center, completed by 2006. This conversion of a defunct airport into a modern business complex helped establish Busan as a key economic hub in the region.
The Busan Cinema Center in this district hosts the Busan International Film Festival and shows films year-round. Visitors can experience Korean and international cinema while sensing the city's film culture firsthand.
The complex connects directly to Line 2 of the Busan Metro, making it easy to reach by public transport. Most shops and facilities open in the morning and close in the early evening, so visitors should plan their timing accordingly.
The Shinsegae Department Store includes an indoor ice rink and extensive spa facilities that go well beyond typical shopping experiences. This unusual combination makes the building a destination for leisure and relaxation, not just shopping.
