11 days in Busan Itinerary

The country's second city, Busan has often been referred to as South Korea's summer capital.

Change things up with these side-trips from Busan: Gyeongju (Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond, Gyeongju National Museum, &more) and Oedo Botania (in Geoje). There's much more to do: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Haedong Yonggungsa, make a trip to BIFF Square, indulge in some personalized pampering at some of the best spas, and snap pictures at Gwangandaegyo Bridge.
