As I moved south, I noticed how <strong>South Korea was getting closer<\/strong> and closer on the map, awakening my curiosity to get to know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Already in <strong>Fukuoka<\/strong>, in southwestern Japan, I discovered that ferries departed from its port directly to Busan in just a few hours. Without giving it much thought, I decided to cross the sea and experience a new adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">This is how I arrived in <strong>Busan by boat<\/strong>, without knowing that I would find a <strong>fascinating city<\/strong>, which would end up becoming <strong>my favorite in all of South Korea<\/strong>, even above <strong>Seoul<\/strong> itself.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/busan_blog18-1-opt.webp\" alt=\"Observando la ciudad de Busan\" class=\"wp-image-38362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/busan_blog18-1-opt.webp 1200w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/busan_blog18-1-opt-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/busan_blog18-1-opt-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Observing the city of Busan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ea9c17723de\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\" style='display:none' id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ea9c17723de\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/por-que-busan-es-mi-ciudad-favorita-en-corea-y-que-hacer-alli\/#Donde_esta_ubicada_Busan\" >Where is Busan located?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/por-que-busan-es-mi-ciudad-favorita-en-corea-y-que-hacer-alli\/#Llegando_a_Busan_desde_Japon\" >Arriving in Busan from Japan<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/por-que-busan-es-mi-ciudad-favorita-en-corea-y-que-hacer-alli\/#Mis_impresiones_de_Busan\" >My impressions of Busan<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/por-que-busan-es-mi-ciudad-favorita-en-corea-y-que-hacer-alli\/#Mapa_de_las_principales_atracciones_en_la_ciudad_de_Busan_Terminales_importantes\" >Map of the main attractions in Busan city + Important terminals<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/por-que-busan-es-mi-ciudad-favorita-en-corea-y-que-hacer-alli\/#Que_hacer_en_Busan\" >What to do in Busan<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/por-que-busan-es-mi-ciudad-favorita-en-corea-y-que-hacer-alli\/#1_Explorar_el_Templo_Haedong_Yonggungsa\" >1.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Busan<\/strong> is located in the southeastern corner of <strong>South Korea<\/strong>, on the shores of the Sea of \u200b\u200bJapan (also known as the East Sea). It is the second largest city in the country, after Seoul, and one of Asia's major ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its coastal location and mountainous geography give it a unique charm, combining beaches, hilltop temples, and neighborhoods with panoramic views.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/busan_blog19.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/busan_blog19.jpg\" alt=\"Edificios modernos\" class=\"wp-image-12330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/busan_blog19.jpg 800w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/busan_blog19-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Busan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The city is well connected to the rest of Korea thanks to the KTX train network, modern highways, and domestic flights. From <strong>Seoul<\/strong>, for example, you can get there in about <strong>2.5 hours by fast train<\/strong>, making it an ideal getaway for those who want to experience a more relaxed, maritime side of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Llegando_a_Busan_desde_Japon\"><\/span>Arriving in Busan from Japan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Once you arrive at the port, you can take one of the many <strong>buses or subway lines<\/strong> that run from one end of Busan to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at the map, you'll notice that it's an elongated city, spread mainly along the coast, which makes mobility key to moving between its different neighborhoods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the transportation system works wonderfully\u2014efficient, punctual, and well-signposted\u2014distances can be a disadvantage, and after several transfers, it can become a bit tiring to go from one end to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The various attractions you can visit, such as <strong>Gamcheon Village<\/strong> or <strong>Haedong Yonggungsa Temple<\/strong>, are located far from each other, so be prepared to spend a lot of time traveling on public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/busan_blog17.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/busan_blog17.jpg\" alt=\"Vista de noche a los edificios\" class=\"wp-image-12338\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Night in Busan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mis_impresiones_de_Busan\"><\/span>My impressions of Busan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I found Busan to be a fascinating and incredibly interesting city to visit. It has a huge variety of areas, each with its own style, which means you never feel like you're seeing the same thing over and over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On one hand, you have urban beaches like Haeundae, surrounded by skyscrapers but not overcrowded. On the other, you have large coastal parks ideal for walking or running while enjoying views of the city, its greenery, and the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also more picturesque neighborhoods, like Gamcheon, with its colorful houses, or temples like Haedong Yonggungsa, located in unique spots overlooking the sea. That combination of nature, modern city, and such diverse areas is what captivated me most about Busan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only thing I didn't like was the distance between different places. Since it's a fairly large and sprawling city, getting from one point to another by public transport can take time, and at times I found it a bit tiring. But the truth is, each area has its own charm, so it ends up being worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stayed for 4 days and enjoyed them very much. I could have stayed longer without any problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mapa_de_las_principales_atracciones_en_la_ciudad_de_Busan_Terminales_importantes\"><\/span>Map of the main attractions in Busan city + Important terminals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Map of the main attractions in Busan city + Important terminals\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1N667-WS3ssrbNtyVwjdiVE5aA9XyjfM&#038;ehbc=2E312F&#038;noprof=1\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Que_hacer_en_Busan\"><\/span>What to do in Busan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I&#039;ve been saying from the beginning, Busan is a city that has a little bit of everything.

You can easily travel on a mid-range budget, and there are affordable food and accommodation options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFQue_no_me_puedo_perder_en_Busan\"><\/span>What shouldn't I miss in Busan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some must-sees include Haeundae Beach, Gamcheon Culture Village, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, and coastal walks such as Igidae or Taejongdae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFEs_mejor_que_Seul\"><\/span>Is it better than Seoul?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I liked Busan more, but they're very different. Seoul is bigger and more chaotic, while Busan is more relaxed and has a beach. Both complement each other very well on a trip through South Korea.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Qu\u00e9 lindos recuerdos me trae escribir sobre Busan, una ciudad que realmente lo tiene todo: playas agradables, rascacielos modernos, parques enormes, monta\u00f1as en los alrededores, templos budistas y, sobre todo,&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38362,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[117,177],"tags":[281,144,171],"class_list":["post-12300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-asia","category-corea-del-sur","tag-asia-oriental","tag-playas","tag-templo"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Que hacer en Busan, mi ciudad favorita en Corea del Sur - El Prisma de Fer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Por qu\u00e9 Busan es la mejor ciudad de Corea y qu\u00e9 hacer all\u00ed.
