🇰🇷Busan | Haeundae ultimate guide 🐟🏖️☀️

I recently spent a short but unforgettable 2 days, 1 night in Busan, and it turned out to be the perfect mix of seaside relaxation, local eats, and a cozy budget-friendly stay. Here’s how I made the most of my trip:

Day 1 — Arrival and Haeundae Market

🏨 Toyoko Inn Busan Haeundae II
After arriving in Busan, I checked into Toyoko Inn Haeundae II. For such a reasonable price, you get a clean, private room all to yourself—something that always feels like a small luxury when traveling on a budget. The hotel’s location is fantastic, just steps away from Haeundae Beach and all the local food spots.

🍴 Haeundae Traditional Market
No trip to Busan is complete without wandering through Haeundae Market. It’s the perfect spot to dive into local flavors—think freshly made hotteok (Korean sweet pancakes), skewers of spicy fish cake, and grilled seafood sizzling right in front of you. The atmosphere is lively and distinctly local, a great way to start the Busan experience.

Day 2 – Seafood and stroll

🦀 Kkotgedang 꽃게당
On my second day, I couldn’t leave Busan without trying crab—a specialty that the city is famous for. It’s a dish that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and umami flavors, and pairs beautifully with warm rice. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience that captures Busan’s connection to the sea.
(Various restaurants around Haeundae serve this dish—look for specialty spots for the freshest experience.)

🌊 Haeundae Beach
Before heading back, I took one last walk along Haeundae Beach. The ocean views, fresh breeze, and laid-back vibe summed up Busan perfectly—relaxed, coastal, and full of charm.
