Haedong Yonggungsa Temple

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.

Bujeon Market

Busanjin-gu, Busan

Busan's largest traditional market, a maze of food stalls.

The biggest market in Busan, steps from Seomyeon — produce, dried seafood, and rows of hole-in-the-wall eats. Go hungry and wander; it's the local counterweight to touristy Jagalchi.

Gukje Market

Jung-gu, Busan

Sprawling postwar market — goods, alleys, and famous street eats.

A historic Busan market that's as much an experience as a meal. Wander the alleys, then eat your way down the food lanes. Right beside BIFF Square and Jagalchi.

Gwangalli Beach & Gwangan Bridge

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.

Haeundae Beach

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.

Huinnyeoul Culture Village

Yeongdo-gu, Busan

Cliffside village of white houses above the sea, a film-favorite walk.

A narrow seaside path lined with cafés and pastel houses perched over the water — one of Busan's most cinematic walks, often compared to a Mediterranean coast.
