What to do and see in Busan, South Korea: The Best Events

January 26, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

Busan is Korea's second largest city.  Tourists often come to this region to hike and to visit the Buddhist Temples located deep within the region's mountains. The Beomeosa Temple, founded in 678 AD, is perhaps one of the most frequented temples in the area and is always packed with worshipers and tourists. For art buffs, Busan offers several museums and historical buildings. If scenery is your thing, try visiting the Dongbaek Island, or bird watch at the Nakdong river estuary.

Busan Fireworks Festival

My suggestion: Go early. Find a restaurant or coffee shop facing the bridge. Order things. Watch the fireworks. Go home happy...as soon as the fireworks stop. Traffic will be impossible and the trains crowded to capacity. Either leave immediately or take a few hours to relax, unwind, have more fun and skip the crush of people leaving.

Busan International Film Festival

This major international film festival is Korea's most well known and is a must for film lovers in Korea. Films from all over in a range of genres are shown that easily appeals to all tastes and preferences. If you're planning to go, make sure you secure tickets and accommodations early as both tend to sell out fast during this period.
