Viaggio in Busan
Busan is more than just Gamcheon Culture Village and famous beaches like Haeundae and Gwangalli. Escape the bustling areas of Busan and unwind at Viaggio, located in the Gangseo district and right along the West Nakdong River.
Viaggio is set in a 3-storey building with a spacious outdoor dining area that offers a river view, and this is the perfect place for families and friends to hang out.

You can easily spot Viaggio from a distance thanks to its red-brick exterior and castle-like structure. As you walk toward the cafe, you’ll be welcomed by a plot of green vegetation that will make you feel like you’re in a park.

Each part of the cafe gives off a different vibe and provides a different dining experience. From vintage decorations and furniture to brick walls, the first level of the cafe exudes a retro and old-school vibe.

Levels 2 and 3 have a totally different interior compared to Level 1. You’ll see clean and modern furnishings with wooden tables, rattan chairs and paintings.

They even have a balcony that overlooks the vast fields, where you can sit and enjoy the view of nature.

Since Viaggio is located along the West Nakdong River, they provide beanbags for you to relax and lounge while appreciating the river view. On some days, you can even catch people waterskiing too.

Other than the beanbags and indoor seats, you can choose from many kinds of table and seating arrangements if you want to dine outdoors.

Also keep a lookout for cute animals wandering around the cafe. Spot geese, roosters, sheep among other cute animals, but avoid touching them as it may scare them.

We recommend the Brown Cheese Croffle (KRW16,500, ~USD11.81) – a sweet and savoury dish that includes vanilla ice cream and shredded brown cheese on top of a crispy and chewy croffle.

If you are not a fan of brown cheese, opt for the Fruits Croffle or Nutella Croffle, which costs KRW16,000 (~USD11.45) each.
Instead of brown cheese, the Fruits Croffle will be topped with freshly cut fruits such as strawberries, bananas and grapes, and the Nutella Croffle will be topped with a generous spread of Nutella, some slices of bananas and a few pieces of dark chocolate. All croffles come with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
