Welcome to Busan, South Korea’s enigmatic, second-largest city. Home to over 4 million people, Busan embodies a metropolitan spirit while keeping its cool. In fact, Busan is a well-known summer destination on a Celebrity Asia cruise thanks to its local beaches, parks, and outdoorsy activities. 

In Busan, marvel at the skyline from the observation tower at Yongdusan Park. Visit the Diamond Bridge, one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. It makes the perfect photo op, particularly when lit up at night. Hike a few hours at Taejongdae National Park and stumble upon stunning views of the sea and the dramatic cliffside. The great thing about Busan is that the city blends existing nature with sleek, futuristic elements. Busan is a city that knows its past, but it’s looking firmly ahead.
