Busan — Festivals & Places Worth Going

173 places in Busan described in English by the Korea Tourism Organization. Every entry comes with the Korean address you can paste into a map app.

Why we give you Korean addresses

Google Maps cannot give driving or transit directions inside South Korea — map data cannot be exported. Paste the Korean address (or the Korean name) into NAVER Map or KakaoMap instead. Both work with what is on this page, and they are what people here actually use.

Busan festivals through the year 35

Busan publishes these in English itself, with directions and admission. They run on their own schedule each year and the city does not publish this year’s dates in this feed, so we do not print a date we cannot verify — check the official page for the dates before you plan around one.

Places to go in Busan

Exhibitions & performances on now 123

These come from Busan’s Korean-language culture portal, so titles are in Korean only. We do not translate them — a mistranslated venue or date sends you to the wrong place. Copy the Korean title into a map or ticket site and it will find them.

Taking Busan home

A small Korean brand called kory puts city names on everyday things — hair rollers, hair ties, claw clips, scarves.

We help make kory, so this is not a paid placement — but it is a link we have an interest in. That is why it sits here at the bottom and nowhere else. Product pages and the shop home are in English; a few other pages there are still Korean only.
