Busan is South Korea’s second-largest city and one of the country’s most popular coastal destinations. Located on the southeastern coast of the Korean Peninsula, the city combines beautiful beaches, dramatic mountains, bustling markets, colourful neighbourhoods and a modern urban skyline.

One of the biggest attractions of Busan is its coastline. Haeundae Beach is the city’s most famous beach and a popular place to relax, enjoy ocean views and experience Busan’s lively seaside atmosphere. Other coastal areas offer scenic walking paths, viewpoints and opportunities to enjoy the city from a different perspective.

Busan also offers a fascinating glimpse into Korean culture and history. The colourful streets of Gamcheon Culture Village, historic Buddhist temples and traditional markets create a contrast with the city’s modern buildings and sophisticated waterfront districts.
