Busan is South Korea's laid-back second city and biggest port — a sprawl of beaches, mountains, and seafood markets along the southeast coast. It mixes buzzing Haeundae Beach and a giant fish market with serene cliffside temples and the rainbow-coloured hillside lanes of Gamcheon. Relaxed and scenic, it's a flavourful introduction to Korea.
The cliffside Haedong Yonggungsa temple is the one sight not to miss — go earlier to beat the crowds. Busan's subway is easy and signed in English, and Jagalchi Market is the place to point at a fish and have it served minutes later.
