Book Busan hotels

You’ve been working on your roshambo game, and with good reason. Historically, while you’re ready to go all-in on a big city adventure, your favourite travel partner is all about getting Zen. Something about “reaching enlightenment”.

But thanks to Busan holiday packages from lastminute.co.nz, you can stop overanalysing the merits of a well-played “scissor” versus a strategically thrown “rock”. The second-largest city in South Korea offers the benefits of a metropolis along with intriguing temples and quiet trails. That’s what we call a win-win.

Things to Do in Busan

The sights and sounds of Busan stretch along the coast. Where do you start your exploration of this port city? The Gamcheon Culture Village is an excellent place to get your toe in the water of South Korean art and culture. Mountainside houses remind you of colourful building blocks, and quirky cafes lure you in for a cup of caffeine.

After a quick nap, slather on the sun cream and plant your flag on Haeundae Beach for a vitamin D-rich afternoon. When you’re ready to leave seafood restaurants and bustling markets behind for a few hours, embark on a cable car ride and subsequent climb to the secluded Seokbulsa Temple. If that sounds exhausting, no worries—Busan hotels are waiting to offer a respite.

Getting to and Around Busan

Your holiday to Busan begins with a flight into Gimhae International Airport (PUS), which is on the western side of the city and has lots of international flights. From there, it’s an easy rail trip or taxi ride to your Busan accommodation.

Once you’re all settled in, the city’s huge subway system makes it easy to get around. If you want to do some sightseeing en route to your next big adventure, stay above ground on a bus or in a metered taxi.
