• Gamcheon Cultural Village: There’s such a rich, diverse and heavy history behind this sprawling urban community that needs a local’s perspective.
• Bupyeong Kkangtong Market: Known for its vibrant night scene, this open market is best enjoyed with a local who knows the best stalls to hit, and the must-eat foods.
• Beomeosa: Historical sites like Beomeosa as well as Busan’s extensive Joseon dynasty are enriched when you have a local expert explaining the nuances behind each site’s legacy, architecture and cultural impact.

Don’t tip your guide in South Korea. Why? Because it carries a different cultural meaning than in other countries. In Korea, it can be taken as rude and offensive, as if you’re insulting the person by calling them poor. Instead, leave them a five star review and refer their services to other travelers.

Generally, September to October is seen as the ideal travel time in terms of weather. Not too hot, not too wet, and not too cold, these seasons are ideal for indoor and outdoor activities in Busan. September’s averages of 23°C (73°F) remain ideal, with 6 average daily sunshine hours, but every season has its perks.
