2026 Busan Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

🚉 Transportation ✦ Subway: The hotel is about 400 meters from Haeundae Station, approximately a 5-minute walk, making it very convenient to travel to and from the city center and the airport bus station by subway. ✦ Driving / Parking: The hotel offers a paid private parking lot, with parking fees at approximately KRW 10,000 per day (first-come, first-served basis). The height limit is about 2 meters. ✦ From the airport: If coming from Gimhae International Airport, take a bus or taxi to the "Haeundae Beach Entrance" stop, then walk about 5–10 minutes to reach the hotel (local transportation is convenient). ⭐ Pros 🩵 Excellent Location The hotel is located in the bustling area of Haeundae, surrounded by restaurants, CU/GS25 convenience stores, and night markets, so you don’t have to worry about finding food late at night. Step outside, and you’ll find plenty of dining options and lively street scenes. ✔️ Only a 3-minute walk to Haeundae Beach, making morning or evening strolls super convenient. ✔️ Close to the subway station, just a few minutes’ walk to connect to Busan’s subway system, perfect for exploring the city. 🩵 Currency Exchange Machine on the 3rd Floor ✔️ There’s a money exchange machine (moneybox) next to the front desk, so you don’t need to go to a bank to exchange or withdraw Korean won. 🩵 Housekeeping & Cleanliness ✔️ Daily cleaning and towel replacement services are provided, and the overall cleanliness is acceptable. ✔️ Free luggage storage allows you to leave your bags after check-out and continue your itinerary (storage available until the afternoon of the same day). ❌ Cons (Honest Feedback) ✖️ Room Condition Below Expectations Although it was a more expensive premium sea view room, the actual sea view was partially blocked by a building in front, and the room was very small (opening two 23" suitcases left almost no walking space). Moreover, the room looked quite different from the photos on the website 🥺. The value for money is low, and staying in an Airbnb might offer a better sense of space 😭. Very disappointing. ✖️ Minimal Room Amenities The room only provided a kettle and two cups. When I asked the front desk for a knife, fork, and plate to cut a cake, they didn’t have any and told me to buy them myself downstairs. ✖️ The 2nd floor houses T1 Base, a 24-hour internet café, which attracts some nighttime crowds. Travelers who value quietness should take this into consideration. ⚠️ Pre-Stay Reminders 🪥 The hotel does not provide toothpaste and toothbrushes (many Korean hotels no longer offer these for environmental reasons), but they are available for purchase at the front desk or nearby convenience stores. 📍 The front desk is on the 3rd floor, not the ground floor (you need to take the elevator directly to the 3rd floor to reach the lobby). 📝 Summary 📍 Overall Rating: Not Highly Recommended The location and transportation of this hotel are undeniably convenient, with strong nearby amenities and easy access to the beach and night markets, making it suitable for short-term travelers. However: ✖️ Room condition and space are lacking ✖️ View is obstructed, with poor visibility ✖️ Basic amenities and average service ✖️ Value for money is lower compared to other options in the same price range 💡 In one sentence: If you’re just looking for a convenient location, it’s okay, but you might find better quality options for the same price.

#2026New Year Busan Chinatown, centered around the site of the first Chinese consulate in Korea, has become the largest Chinese community in Busan since a large influx of Chinese immigrants. Long ago, it occupied the area in front of Busan Station, creating a unique Chinese atmosphere and a wealth of delicious restaurants. It is a popular destination for both Busan residents and visitors. Every October, the Busan Chinatown Special Zone Cultural Festival is held here. It began in 2004 to celebrate the joys and sorrows of the Chinese who have settled in Chinatown and to create a festival where Koreans and Chinese alike can mingle. Near Chinatown stands the famous Lee Jae-mo Pizza, where people waited in line.

#2026NewYear Busan's Gukje Market became famous in 2014 thanks to the film "Ode to My Father," which drew over 10 million viewers and was a moving portrayal of our parents' era, based on a true story.

Busan's Gukje Market is also a historic space that vividly portrays the ups and downs of Korea's modern and contemporary history, including the joys and sorrows of refugees during the Korean War.

🩵🤍🩷 Gamcheon Culture Village is a pastel-colored village with a variety of vibrant hues. It is charming and beautiful, situated on a hillside with terraced levels.

A less-traveled itinerary in Busan – Haedong Yonggungsa Temple! 👍👍 Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in Busan is a hidden gem. Nestled on a rocky coastline, it's a gem nestled between mountains and the sea. The interplay of the azure ocean and the ancient temple architecture creates a breathtakingly beautiful and spiritually resonant experience. ✨ Must-See Highlights: • Zodiac Animal Statues: Before entering the temple, you're greeted by a row of twelve zodiac animal statues. Finding your own animal for a photo is a must for every visitor. (This person, being a 96-line (a term for someone of the Chinese zodiac), naturally took a picture with the rat! 😊) • Manbokmun Gate and Daeungjeon Hall: Passing through the arched stone gate, you'll see the magnificent Daeungjeon Hall with its colorful decorations, set against the backdrop of the endless sea view. • Sea Guanyin Statue: The towering Guanyin statue overlooks the sea. It's said that if you pray sincerely here, at least one wish will be granted. Finally, here's how to get there for independent travelers: 1. Take subway line 2 to "Haeundae Station," then transfer to bus 181 or 100. 2. Most recommended: Take the subway to "Osiria Station," then take a taxi (about 5 minutes). It's quick and easy. 📍 Tourist Information • Admission: Free • Opening Hours: 05:00 - Sunset (Open year-round) #Busan #BusanHaedongYonggungMyo #HaedongYonggungMyo (P.S. Finally, here's a picture of a classic attraction in Busan that's not related to the main attraction but should definitely be visited: the Skycapsule train.) #HaeundaeSkyCapsuleTrain #SkyCapsuleTrain

Choosing the perfect Korean souvenir can be a challenge, right? Especially when it comes to deciding what to buy in Busan! Here's a must-see recommendation: Busan Bada Sand! This treat is thicker than the popular Press Butter Sand and features rich cream filled with cheese or chocolate 🍫. You can find it at Busan Station or Haeundae, but the Haeundae store is highly recommended 🏬. The shop offers a delightful experience with a view of the production process and photo spots that will excite you ☺️. In addition to cookies and sandwiches, they also have candies and miscellaneous goods, so you're sure to find your favorite item! 📍 11, Udong 1-ro 38beon-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan ⏰ 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM If you're looking for a Busan souvenir, this is the one!

When it comes to upscale residential areas in Busan, Haeundae is the place to be. 🏖️ With its beach and high-rise apartments, it offers a slightly different vibe from the port city atmosphere of Busan. The area is filled with cafes and boutiques, making it a delightful spot for a leisurely stroll. 🩵 In particular, the Helidan-gil area is packed with shops, allowing you to explore quickly and efficiently—highly recommended! Among them, Luft Mansion stands out with its colorful and cute shopping bags. The store is brimming with charm and exudes a distinctly Korean vibe. 🇰🇷 Be sure to find your favorite item here! 📍 1st and 2nd Floor, 38 Beon-gil, U-dong 1-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan ⏰ 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM

Introducing places where you can grab a quick bite while waiting for your flight at Busan's Gimhae International Airport (PUS). ・ On the 3rd floor of the International Terminal (before security check), Korean Dining is a restaurant where you can enjoy set meal-style Korean dishes. ・ As the name suggests, this dining space primarily offers Korean cuisine, allowing you to conveniently enjoy classic Korean dishes within the airport. They serve set meals, rice dishes, soups, bibimbap, and home-style Korean dishes. ・ Recommended for those who want to savor Korean cuisine right up until leaving South Korea.

Although I couldn't secure a reservation for the Sky Capsule, the capsule-shaped monorail running along the coast of Busan, I decided to visit the café I had planned to go to after the ride. ・ Since it's usually just the two of us, we often skip the cake and settle for sweet drinks during our café time. But when traveling with a friend, you get to discover flavors you might usually overlook. I was thrilled to get the fig cake I had my eye on. ・ Out of habit, I tend to assume that bigger portions mean less flavor. But that wasn't the case here. The cake was absolutely delicious. ・ OB Coffee Salon 524-12 Jung-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan

If you're in Busan, you can't miss visiting Strut Coffee, one of the cafes selected as serving one of the world's top 100 coffees! The White Flat here uses less milk than a cappuccino, and Strut Coffee combines organic milk from Pomsan Farm with finely textured, smooth foam, making it extra creamy. Of course, the delicious base espresso is what makes this possible, and it's truly excellent. When ordering, you can customize everything from the coffee beans, espresso strength, milk type, to sweetness level, so being able to preview the menu on NAVER Map was really helpful. For the first time in Korea, I bought coffee beans for myself. The café also has a roasting space. Although seating is limited, the glass walls create a spacious and comfortable atmosphere, making it a great spot for a morning coffee. Strut Coffee Busan Metropolitan City, Busanjin District, Jeonpo-dong 340-31

#2026 New Year's Greeting At the entrance to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, you'll find a famous Busan fish cake restaurant frequented by celebrities. Busan Fish Cake, touted by celebrity Hong Seok-cheon and visited by Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong, is renowned for its skewered fish cakes made with over 90% fish meat. These long, plump fish cakes are fresh and lightly flavored, making them a perfect meal replacement. On the way out of Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, I stopped by a Busan fish cake restaurant.

#2026 New Year's Greetings Busan Station opened in 1908 with the opening of the Choryang-Busan Station section, and the temporary Busan Station in Jungang-dong was built on April 1, 1908. The Jungang-dong Busan Station was completed in October 1910. The current station was further expanded and renovated in September 2003 to coincide with the opening of the Gyeongbu High Speed ​​Railway. In 2019, Busan Station Plaza was reborn as the Busan Eurasia Platform, symbolizing the future of railways, extending beyond the Korean Peninsula and into the world. Busan Station is the main station in Busan and serves as the terminus for all trains on the Gyeongbu Line and the Gyeongbu High Speed ​​Railway.

#2026 New Year's Greetings Songjeong Beach is a beach with no off-season, and is bustling with surfers both in summer and winter. With its soft sand, gentle slope, and shallow waters, Songjeong Beach is a popular family vacation destination, perfect for families and children. Raw fish restaurants line the coast, and at the end of the coast, Gwangeo-gol, a foodie street has been created, offering a variety of culinary delights. Many events are held here every year, including the Daeboreum Seaweed Festival, the Songjeong Beach Festival, and the Songjeong Jukdo Cultural Festival.

#2026New Year's Greetings If you're in Busan, Moon Toast, a toast specialty shop specializing in delicious mozzarella cheese, is located right in front of Songjeong Beach. Moon Toast's menu is surprisingly diverse, with options ranging from the basic Moon Toast to mozzarella cheese, spicy cheese, sweet potato cheese, and shrimp. When ordering, simply write your desired dish on a Post-it note and include your name or nickname. Even though there was a long line, they systematically prepared several toasts at once, so we were able to quickly receive our toasts and drinks. As for the taste, it was excellent, and I understand why people line up to order them.

At the Songdo Marine Cable Car's Sky Harbor Observatory, you'll find a charming Little Prince-themed area that kids love.

Haedong Yonggungsa, often regarded as the most beautiful temple in Korea, is said to grant one wish to those who visit. When I visited, it was a cold winter weekday, yet the temple was bustling with both local and international tourists. Many people were bowing and praying, while others were writing their wishes on roof tiles they had purchased. Unlike most temples, which are located in the mountains, Haedong Yonggungsa is situated by the seaside, offering stunning views and a unique charm. It is also a popular spot in Busan for watching the sunrise, attracting many visitors who come to enjoy the dawn. Haedong Yonggungsa combines breathtaking coastal scenery with ocean views, making it a place where you can enjoy a peaceful walk along the coastal trail while listening to the sound of waves.

The best decision in Busan is definitely taking the Songdo Marine Cable Car! Trust me, family, the feeling of flying across the sea at 86 meters high is truly magical～ Be sure to choose the crystal cabin! At first, stepping onto the transparent floor made my legs a bit weak. Looking down, you see the sparkling sea, and the waves seem to be rolling right under your feet. I couldn’t help but say wow✨ The price difference between the regular cabin and the crystal cabin isn’t much, and this experience is definitely worth the extra cost! The one-way ride takes about 15 minutes, leisurely enjoying the sea view is super relaxing～ On the way out, you can see the white sandy beach of Songdo Beach, and on the return trip, it’s just before sunset. The sun dyes the sea orange, making the cabin warm and cozy. Every photo you take feels naturally atmospheric without any editing. Don’t leave right after getting off the cable car! The Yonggung Cloud Bridge next door is a hidden gem. For just 1,000 KRW, you can walk on the skywalk extending over the sea. Feeling the sea breeze while looking at the distant Busan Harbor Bridge is truly healing. 📍Address: 171 Songdo Haebin-ro, Seo-gu, Busan 🎫Tips: Buy tickets online in advance to skip the line! Round-trip tickets are much more cost-effective than one-way. Wearing light-colored clothes makes your photos pop～

Seomyeon / BUSAN Busan's youth district, Seomyeon: I discovered a retro-style, delicious samgyeopsal in Seomyeon! The staff were wearing trendy halmoni vests (Korean grandmother vests), which was pretty surreal 😂😂 Samgyeopsal grilled under a Korean pot lid is crispy and juicy, making it even more delicious ✨ The skin-on version was sold out, so they only had regular samgyeopsal 😭 I definitely recommend the skin-on version! 🫶🏻 They also have myeongi namul (wild garlic leaves), which I personally think is the best! And the egg in the pajoli is a new sensation! 😳 I ate it with a variety of dashi, and it never got boring! 👏🏼 It has a local Korean feel, so I recommend it! ✨ #올드맨션 ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ▼Old Mansion Seomyeon Jeongpo Branch 📍687-18 Jeonpo-dong, Busanjin-gu, Busan Metropolitan City ⏰10:30am-11pm BT:3pm-5pm ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ If you found this helpful, please like it!
