I visited Busan, South Korea's second-largest city, for a 3-day trip in October 2026. I traveled by KTX from Seoul, which was comfortable and fast. I explored iconic spots like Songdo Sky Park, Haeundae Blue Line Park with its Sky Capsules, and Busan X the Sky, all offering spectacular views. I also enjoyed the lively atmosphere of Jagalchi Fish Market and Bupyeong Kkangtong Night Market. I loved the delicious local food, including Milmyeon and Dwaeji Gukbap. The colorful Gamcheon Culture Village was incredibly picturesque, and I ended my days relaxing at Haeundae and Gwangalli Beaches, even catching a drone show. Overall, Busan offered a slower, more chill pace compared to Seoul, and I was impressed by its character and scenic beauty. — Busan

Travel tips

Book KTX tickets about 2 weeks in advance, especially for weekends, as they tend to sell out fast.
