Suyeong-gu, Busan
Busan's signature beach with the lit-up Gwangan Bridge view.
Busan is the hometown of Jimin and Jungkook, and Gwangalli is the city's postcard view — café-lined sand facing the bridge, which runs a light show at night. The drone shows here are a Busan staple.

Seo-gu, Busan
Historic beach with a cliffside skywalk and air cable car.
Korea's first public beach, now paired with a glass-floored coastal Cloud Trail and an over-water cable car. A quieter, scenic alternative to Haeundae.
Yeongdo-gu, Busan
Coastal cliff park with sea views and a ride-on danubi train.
Dramatic cliffs and pine forest on the southern tip of Yeongdo, with a looping shuttle train to the observation points. A nature counterpoint to the city beaches.
Haeundae-gu, Busan
Home of the Busan International Film Festival, vast cantilever roof.
The futuristic LED-canopy venue anchoring Korea's biggest film festival. Even off-season it's a striking architecture and night-photo stop in the Centum City area.
Jung-gu, Busan
Hilltop tower over downtown Busan with harbor views.
The downtown-Busan landmark, a short climb or escalator up from Gukje Market and BIFF Square. Good for orienting yourself over the port and old city.
Gijang-gun, Busan
Rare seaside Buddhist temple on the rocks above the water.
Most Korean temples sit in the mountains; this one perches right on the coast. Go early to beat crowds and catch the sea light. A serene contrast to the city stops.
Haeundae-gu, Busan
Korea's most famous beach, the heart of summer Busan.
The wide crescent of sand you've seen across Korean travel content. Walk the promenade, ride to the coastal Blueline Park capsule train nearby, and eat by the water at sunset.
