BIFF Square is a pedestrian street in Nampo-dong. The first Busan International Film Festival was held here in 1996, and handprints of directors and actors who have taken part in the festival are set into the pavement. Today visitors come mainly for the street food. Mobile stalls in the middle of the road sell seed hotteok (sweet pancakes filled with sunflower and pumpkin seeds, about 2,000 won), fish cake skewers, stir-fried rice cakes, blood sausage, and assorted pancakes. Nearby are cinemas and budget clothing shops. It is a few minutes' walk from Jagalchi Market, Gukje Market, and Gwangbok-ro Fashion Street, so it fits well into a half-day in Nampo-dong. Getting there: take subway Line 1 to Nampo Station or Jagalchi Station, then about 5 minutes on foot.
