Busan — A Port City Where Sea Meets Mountain

Korea's second city, Busan, blends beaches, hillside roads, harbors, and markets. From the white sands of Haeundae to the colorful alleys of Gamcheon Culture Village, it is a city of many faces along the sea.

Why this region

Reach the beach by subway from downtown, look down at the sea from a hill village, eat raw fish at a dawn market — a city where the sea and daily life sit close together. Relatively mild year-round.

• Haeundae & Gwangalli — city beaches and the Gwangan Bridge night view.
• Gamcheon Culture Village — colorful alleys on a hillside.
