If you are planning to spend 5 days in Busan, then know you are in luck. Most people get only a couple of days and that is never enough for them to explore the second-largest city in South Korea. We have put together an itinerary so you can make the most of your 5 days and find all the places to visit in Busan.
Day 1
Visit Gamcheon culture village in the morning for a colourful walk and then take the afternoon for a bit more walking along the Busan coast. You can pick one of the three best stretches which are each about an hour’s drive from Avani Central Busan Hotel.
Day 2
On the second day go out to explore Nampo-dong and Gwangbokdong food street where you can get a stool and sit down for some street food. After a good meal get lost in Gukje Market which is a gigantic market that you will find hard to navigate, so make sure you get your bearings before you plunge in.
Day 3
Visit the picturesque Haedong Yonggungsa Temple early in the morning. It is the best time to explore the temple in the serenity of the sea at dawn. In the afternoon you can head to the beach.
Day 4
Spend the 4th day relaxing with some time at a hot spring and reconnect with your soul.
Day 5
The last day is the best day to take a day trip from Busan to South Korea’s largest and most important temple; Tongdosa temple.
