Overzicht
Busan (부산) is one of the essential stops in South Korea, located in the Busan region. Coastal boardwalks, Haeundae & Gwangalli beaches, cliffside temples and Jagalchi seafood market.
With direct connections via KORAIL KTX & SRT High-Speed Rail, Busan rewards a stay of 3–4 days so you can balance major landmarks with neighborhood cafés, markets, and easy half-day excursions.
Wat te Zien & Doen
- Gamcheon Culture Village: Tiered pastel hillside neighborhood painted with murals, art installations, and lookout cafés above the southern harbor.
- Haedong Yonggungsa Seaside Temple: Rare 14th-century Korean Buddhist temple built directly onto dramatic wave-lashed coastal cliffs in eastern Busan.
- Haeundae Blueline Park Sky Capsule & Gwangan Bridge: Ride elevated retro capsules along the dramatic coast between Mipo and Cheongsapo, then watch the Gwangan Bridge light show at night.
Lokale Keuken & Specialiteiten
