🇰🇷 10 PLACES TO VISIT IN BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA 🇰🇷 10 PLACES TO VISIT IN BUSAN, SOUTH KOREA 
(Save this post for later 🌟)

1. Gamcheon Culture Village
Once a modest mountainside community built by Korean War refugees, Gamcheon has been transformed into a cultural hub filled with colorful homes, and and winding alleyways. Pro tip: Head to the Avante Garde cafe for the best panoramic views of the village. 

2. Haeundae Blueline Park
This scenic coastal train ride offers dreamy views of the ocean, cliffs, and shoreline—ideal for sunset! 

3. Haeundae Beach
Arguably Korea’s most famous beach, Haeundae is a juxtaposition of soft sand, skyscraper views, and fun summer vibes in the warmer months. Head to the Dongbaekseom Island coastal trail where you can get a great vantage point. 

4. Oryukdo Islets
These jagged sea stacks off Busan’s southern coast are a natural marvel. Depending on the tides, you can either view five or six islands on any given day. 

5. Haedong Yonggungsa Temple
A rare seaside Buddhist temple built directly on ocean cliffs. Definitely come here early in the day for the most peaceful atmosphere. 

6. Simmian Cafe
This tucked away cafe features a Japanese inspired menu and super zen architecture. For matcha lovers, this one is a must and is just a stone’s throw from the ocean. 

7. Dongbaekseom Island
A peaceful nature trail near Haeundae lined with camellia trees, lighthouses, and views of Gwangan Bridge—perfect for a golden hour stroll.

8. Arte Museum
On a gloomy day, this is a perfect afternoon adventure where immersive light, sound, and art projections transform every room into a surreal sensory experience.

9. Samgwangsa Temple
Famous for its dazzling lantern festival, this massive hillside temple is a peaceful spot year-round—and lights up with lantern magic during celebrations.

10. Seokbulsa Temple
A hidden gem carved into a mountainside, Seokbulsa rewards visitors after a quick 20 minute hike with towering stone Buddha reliefs and epic views over Busan on a clear day. This one is a bit off-the-beaten path but SO worth the extra effort to get to. It was one of my favorite places in Busan!
