A calm cultural counterpoint to Seoul, especially for an overnight stay.
Plan this regionUse high-speed rail between major cities and local metro cards in Seoul and Busan. Leave buffer time for station transfers.
Markets, neighborhood restaurants, and convenience stores each tell a different story. Go early for the calmest meals.
Many attractions are busiest on weekends. Start early, reserve popular experiences, and keep one unplanned afternoon.
