Cohort

Busan is what happens when you put a beach, a mountain range, a working fishing port, and one of Asia's great street food scenes in the same city and let it run at its own pace. By day, Haeundae and Songjeong beaches draw surfers and swimmers against a backdrop of mountains that drop straight into the sea. At night, Gwangalli Bridge lights up across the water while the streets of Seomyeon come to life with pubs, bars and clubs.

Work setup

Gamcheon Culture Village
A maze of pastel houses, murals and narrow alleyways tumbling down the hillside. Grab a coffee, wander with no plan and explore this living gallery right in the heart of the city.
Retro Beach Train
The Busan Circle Line is one of Korea's most charming rides. A vintage-style train looping past coastal cliffs, ocean views and hidden beaches. Hop on, hop off at Songjeong or Mipo and let the scenery do the work.
Eat Like a Local
Busan has its own food identity and it's worth exploring. Start with dwaeji gukbap, a rich pork and rice soup that locals swear by for breakfast. Follow it with milmyeon, raw fish from Jagalchi and a street-side hotteok for dessert.
Some highlights may involve an additional cost or be subject to availability.
