Busan itineraries

Nampo to Songdo in a Day

Off the train, a bowl of pork soup, then Jagalchi, Gukje Market and the tower before the afternoon climbs into Gamcheon's lanes and ends in a cable car over the sea. One rail-friendly loop through the old side of Busan.

Haeundae Overnight

Day one rides the sky capsule out to Cheongsapo, watches the sun set from the observatory and ends with the Gwangalli drone show; day two is a Dongbaekseom stroll, a hot spring, and the Oryukdo cliffs. Two days spent entirely on the east coast.

Yeongdo, Gijang and Dongnae

Sleep in Seomyeon and head out in three directions by subway and the Donghae Line: Yeongdo's cliffs and Taejongdae, then Gijang's seaside temple and bamboo forest, then Beomeosa and the Dongnae hot springs. The Busan for people who've already done Haeundae.
