The Busan City Guides answer what every first-time visitor wonders: where to find the best milmyeon and pork soup, how to eat raw fish at the markets without overpaying, which cliff temples and hillside villages are worth the ride and where the night goes once the Gwangan Bridge lights up. Each guide is a short list with an opinion, giving the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Choryang Milmyeon
Choryang, Dong-gu
Milmyeon is the noodle Busan made from wartime flour, and this shop near the station serves it chewy, either in icy broth or tossed in chilli sauce, with fat dumplings on the side. Come before 11am and you barely wait. From the food guide.
Gamcheon Culture Village
Saha-gu, subway to Toseong then bus
A former refugee settlement climbing a hillside in pastel blocks, with steep stairways, murals and little art shops. Pick up the stamp map and give it two or three hours. From the things to do guide.
Millak Waterside Park
Millak-dong, Suyeong-gu
Steps by the water between Gwangalli and Haeundae, open all night and free, with the lit Gwangan Bridge straight ahead. Do as the locals do and bring a drink from the convenience store. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days in Busan
Day one: the old port around Nampo, with Jagalchi and Gukje markets in the morning, Busan Tower in Yongdusan Park, the painted lanes of Gamcheon in the afternoon and dinner at Bupyeong Kkangtong after dark. Day two: the east coast, starting early at Haedong Yonggungsa, then the Blueline Park rail line, Haeundae beach and an evening in Gwangalli facing the lit bridge. For a rainy or slow day, combine the free Busan Museum and the UN Memorial Cemetery, warm up at SPA LAND Centum City, or take the KTX to Gyeongju for its temples.
