Tour description
Busan is South Korea's second city and its vibrant coastal heart, a place of colourful hillside villages, enormous fish markets and beautiful temples perched above the sea. Framed by mountains and the ocean, it has a relaxed, salty character all its own. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its most colourful corners.
You will wander the rainbow-painted lanes of Gamcheon Culture Village, hear the story of the war refugees who built it, and explore bustling markets piled high with seafood. Along the way you will discover Busan's unique blend of tradition, art and coastal energy. Lively and welcoming, Busan is a delight to explore on foot.
