Songdo Cloud Trails (solo trip)
How Solo-Friendly is Songdo Cloud Trails?
What makes it 85% Solo-Friendly: The flat 365-m glass skywalk is free, photogenic, and open 06:00-23:00, giving a solo traveler flexible hours, safe rails, and dramatic sea shots, but there is no shelter, café, or restroom on the span itself.

Reviews of Songdo Cloud Trails (Busan)
陳曦（Xi Chen）
What's a beautiful place! You can see the Songdao gondola is running.
Vedran Pezer
A peer and a scenic walking route along the beach. Beautiful views of the city and sea. It was incredibly windy when we were there. The beach is sandy so if you want to take off your shoes and slide your feet in - it’s a perfect spot.
Nena
Thought it would be bigger but still it’s nice
Aaron Rapsing
I considered it a beautiful place. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to walk on it due to it being closed because of weather conditions, but I’m glad I was able to see it though.
Patricia Adelina
Super clean beach, full of history. There is an observatory deck at the end of the cloud walk. There's a cave with some information about this beach history. The gondola was built from a long time (1920 cmiiw). People are working out even at night. Nice place to walk your dog.
