About this itinerary
Busan is known for its markets and long-running local eateries, which makes it a great city to eat your way through on foot. This itinerary centers on places like Nampo-dong Dried Seafood Wholesale Market, Jagalchi Market, Shin Dong-A Seafood Market, and every meal is a short walk from the stop before it.
From Incheon Airport it takes about 3 hr 40 min by AREX and KTX. Anything within about 20 minutes on foot, you walk.
You stay all 2 nights near Yongdusan Jagalchi Tourism Special District and start every day from the same place — no repacking.
Day 1: Nampo-dong Dried Seafood Wholesale Market, Jagalchi Market, Shin Dong-A Seafood Market. Lunch at Gupo Milmyeon, dinner at Saesongdo Bokguk.
Day 2: Daegak Temple (Busan), Arirang Street, Art Street, Gukje Market, Bupyeong Ttangtong Market. Lunch at Jaeseong Milmyeon, dinner at Haengbokanori.
Day 3: Yeongdo Bongrae Market, Namhang Market. Lunch at Yeongdo Tongkeun Dwaeji Gukbap. Then head back to Incheon Airport.
Some market stalls close by late afternoon, so earlier is better. Go a little hungry and share small plates at several places.
Times in this plan are worked out from the distance between stops and how long you stay at each one. Feel free to drop a stop or two for a slower pace. Every stop has location and directions buttons that open the map directly.
