6. BIFF Square, Gukje market and Jagalchi fish market are close to each other, Just next to each other! BIFF Square is a lively street in Busan’s Nampo-dong district, named after the Busan International Film Festival. The pavement is decorated with handprints of famous film stars, and the street is full of snack stalls. It’s a fun place to enjoy local street food, such as sweet seed-filled pancakes called “hotteok.” Gukje Market is one of Busan’s oldest and liveliest traditional markets. It began after the Korean War and grew into a maze of shops selling clothes, kitchenware, souvenirs, and street snacks. It’s a great place to feel everyday local life and try Busan’s famous treats. Jagalchi Market is Korea’s largest seafood market, located right by Busan’s harbor. Fresh fish, shellfish, and other seafood from the sea are sold here every day. It’s a lively place to see Busan’s fishing culture up close and, if you like, to enjoy fresh seafood nearby.

• 5Spectacular Busan with Luke

  If we could give Luke 10 stars we would. Arrived in Busan at beginning of their major Thanksgiving holiday so Luke had to navigate busy traffic and change the itinerary on the fly. We had an amazing day with him showcasing beautiful Busan! Take a tour with Luke!!

• 5Great Tour of Busan with Luke

  We booked the Cruise Layover Small Group Tour of Busan and ended up with just the 4 of us in a very comfortable 6 seater new Hyundai van. Luke was an excellent guide who spoke great English and had wonderful local knowledge. If you're a cruise passenger then forget paying ridiculous inflated prices and book this tour. We saw every main tourist spot and more. Book it. 🤩

• 5Port day in Busan

  The day was perfect, Seowoo was fabulous and his knowledge was outstanding. The day went exactly as planned and we were back on board our cruise ship in plenty of time. The transport was very clean and comfortable, there were four of us and we all had plenty of room. We highly recommend this tour, it was personalised to what we wanted to see

• 5Brilliant day in Busan with Luke

  Had a great day with Luke as our guide. He picked us up from the cruise port in time, in a lovely, modern air conditioned van. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and explained about all the places we visited very well. We are vegetarian and he kindly found a restaurant serving delicious vegan dishes. He kept good time through the day so we felt we had made the most of our few hours in Busan. Thanks again Luke

About Busan

Busan is South Korea's second city and biggest port, with beaches, hillside villages, temples by the sea and a huge fish market.

Busan lies at the south-east tip of the Korean peninsula, a port city squeezed between mountains and the sea. Haeundae Beach and Gwangalli Beach, backed by high-rise towers, are its best-known stretches of sand. Gamcheon Culture Village, a hillside of colourful stepped houses, was settled by refugees during the Korean War, and the UN Memorial Cemetery in Korea honours soldiers who died in that conflict.

Top-ranked sights in Busan: Gamcheon Culture Village, Jagalchi Fish Market, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple.
