Things to do in Busan

South Korea's second city earns its reputation the hard way: sunrise over Haeundae Beach, grilled fish straight off the boats at Jagalchi Market, the painted stairways of Gamcheon Culture Village tumbling down the hillside, and Haedong Yonggungsa temple perched improbably on sea-splashed rocks. The Sky Capsule rattles above Cheongsapo while Gwangan Bridge lights up the bay at dusk — then the night deepens into a steaming bowl of dwaeji gukbap or the sesame crunch of ssiat hotteok from a street cart. Busan is also your jumping-off point for Gyeongju and Tongyeong; explore the top-rated tours below and book the ones that match your pace.
