Pusan Discount Bookings with Accommodation South Korea

Such a refreshing difference from Seoul. Train stations had staffs in blue vest to guide tourists, speak some English. Visitor info counter at Busan station was helpful when I arrived. Might want to check out daily travel pass, apparently only on app. I spent KRW6K & KRW8K+ per day during my 2 days there. Was misinformed at info booth on my first morning there better to use my T money card😒 Gamcheon village & the 2 layered bridge was worth the travel.

Busan was definitely more laid back than Seoul. We loved the beaches, especially Haeundae and the Gamcheon Culture Village. We also enjoyed the Songdo gondola ride, going up the tower at Yondusan Park, the Trick Eye Museum, the Yonggungssa Temple (by the sea and a bit crowded), and the free drone show (amazing) and lit up bridge, at Gwangalli Beach. We took a day trip from Busan to nearby Gyeongju and its World Heritage sites. It was great. We found bus was the cheapest and easiest way to get around Busan. We took a taxi a few times and found the drivers were sweethearts, as were the staff at the Haeundae Beach Tourist Information Centre. In fact, everyone was very friendly in Busan . We would have liked to do the Sky Capsule Ride but it was booked out. Unbeknown to us, we had arrived at Busan at a time when it was a long holiday weekend for Koreans and so should have prebooked the Sky Capsule, like we did with some of our other activities.

Busan is a beautiful city. It is particularly good for culture and seafood. We really enjoyed Gamcheon Village where you can enjoy the scenery, take great photos and buy gifts for loved ones. Be aware of Drivers in Busan. Busan is known all over Korea for its crazy drivers especially taxi drivers. We were warned by locals that if you get in a taxi don’t hold on as this is a signal to the driver to drive as fast as they can. I found there wasn’t as much to do in Busan as I Expected but it was still a very fun place to visit.

Busan is a beautiful, quiet and clean city which is easy to navigate and a pleasure to explore. Highly recommend a 5 day stay. Book different hotels in different parts of the city to explore different areas. Haeundae Beach is amazing and the Jagalchi Markets are awesome. Go to SpaLand in Centum City shopping centre too. Definitely go visit.

I honestly loved Busan more than Seoul! it is like Seoul but in a smaller foot print which means you can experience vibey places, natural places, or cool places all within close proximity to one another. The beaches is really what makes Busan IMO as it attracts and creates a VIBE which makes you smile. And the beaches Haeundae and Gwangali are so clean and fresh! The tourist attractions are great! and unique enough that it doesn't feel same same as Seoul. Mind you there is a lot heights so make sure you aren't afraid of heights.

We preferred Seoul to Busan. Busan is more of a party city, and a city for tourists who like to stay on the beaten track, people who like to shop and see fast cars. We missed some culture, museums, ....
