Busan

South Korea

"Beaches, Temples & Seaside Seafood"

Busan wraps around mountains and a long coastline, mixing big-city energy with beach life. Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches buzz with cafés and night views of the Gwangan Bridge, while the colorful hillside lanes of Gamcheon Culture Village are filled with murals and art. Haedong Yonggungsa Temple sits dramatically on rocks above the sea, and Jagalchi Fish Market is Korea's largest. The Haeundae Blueline Park sky capsules and the Taejongdae cliffs add scenic outings, and the KTX makes Seoul just under three hours away.

April–June & September–November

Get a T-money card for subways and buses; visit Haedong Yonggungsa early to beat crowds; try fresh hoe (raw fish) upstairs at Jagalchi

Great second stop after Seoul via KTX and a popular Asia cruise port. Sell autumn for comfortable weather and the Busan International Film Festival.
