Busan, day by day

Busan is a port city of beaches and hills: a painted village of refugee houses, the biggest fish market in Korea, a temple on the rocks above the sea, a capsule train along the coast and a suspension bridge that lights up every night. Start with three days that take the old harbour, the east coast and the southern cliffs one at a time, with the prices and hours the city publishes for 2026.
