Located in the southeastern region of the Korean Peninsula, Busan is South Korea’s “second city” after Seoul. It has been built on 17 centuries of history, and its port, the nation’s first to have an international reach, is one of the world’s largest. During the Korean War, Busan was one of only two cities unoccupied by North Korean forces. Today, its modernity is unmistakable and distinct. Culture, education and commerce comingle here, with a wide array of markets, universities and fascinating museums, and Korea’s largest beach cuts a graceful arc along the city’s shores.
