Busan (부산) is Korea’s second-largest city and one of Asia’s great port destinations. With world-famous beaches, stunning coastal hiking, vibrant street food markets, and an energy completely different from Seoul, Busan deserves at least 2–3 days on any Korea itinerary. And the best way to arrive? With your bags already waiting at your hotel.

Top Things to Do in Busan

• Haeundae Beach: Korea’s most famous beach — 1.8km of white sand, lined with luxury hotels and seafood restaurants
• Gwangalli Beach: Smaller and hipper than Haeundae; stunning views of Diamond Bridge at night
• Gamcheon Culture Village: The “Santorini of Busan” — a hillside village with colourful houses, street art, and steep alleys (NOT suitable for luggage)
• Jagalchi Fish Market: Korea’s largest seafood market — buy fresh seafood and have it cooked upstairs
• Haedong Yonggungsa Temple: A Buddhist temple dramatically perched above the sea on Busan’s northeastern coast
• Dongbaekseom Island & APEC House: A small forested island in Haeundae connected by a bridge
• Taejongdae Park: Dramatic clifftop park at Busan’s southern tip — the views are extraordinary
