About Busan 101
Practical help for your trip to Busan — getting around, food, paying, staying online and what to do if something goes wrong — in your language.
What this is
Busan 101 is an independent, practical guide for people arriving in Busan: travelers, exchange students and new residents. Getting from the airport, a phone plan, paying, food, a place to stay, getting around and what to do in an emergency — the things that are hard when you don't read Korean yet.
How we choose what's here
We check facts against official sources where we can, and each guide shows when it was last checked. Food picks are places we actually like, not review rankings — and anything paid will always be clearly labeled. Prices and rules change, so check before you go, and tell us if something's wrong.
Free for you
Everything on Busan 101 is free to use, with no sign-up. Spotted something wrong or missing? Tell us — that's how the guide gets better.
