All about Busan
When to Visit
The best time to visit Busan is in spring (April to June) or autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor exploration. Spring brings cherry blossoms to parks and temples, while autumn offers colorful foliage and pleasant temperatures. Summer (July to August) is great for beach activities but can be crowded. Winter (December to February) is quieter and offers festive events like the Busan Christmas Tree Festival.
Getting Around
Busan’s efficient public transportation system makes it easy to navigate the city. The subway connects major attractions, while buses reach areas outside the subway network. Taxis and rideshares are widely available and affordable. For scenic views, the Busan City Tour Bus offers hop-on-hop-off routes covering popular sites. Walking is also a great way to explore neighborhoods like Nampo-dong and Haeundae.
Traveler Tips
Pack comfortable shoes for walking, as many attractions involve steep paths or stairs. Visit Gamcheon Culture Village early in the day to avoid crowds and capture the best photos. Try fresh seafood at Jagalchi Market or indulge in Busan’s signature dish, milmyeon (cold noodles). For a relaxing escape, enjoy the hot springs at Spa Land in Centum City. Don’t miss a night stroll along Gwangalli Beach for views of the illuminated Gwangan Bridge. Lastly, purchase a T-money card for convenient subway and bus travel.
