G-STAR 2026 heads to Busan: book before travelling, then leave time to play
BEXCO hosts the gaming exhibition from November 19 to 22. Advance booking, separate passes and a realistic visiting plan matter as much as the games themselves.
Busan
Busan: travel ideas, transport guidance, food and local stories from Inside Korea.
Beomeosa: take Busan’s mountain side at a slower pace
Busan is more than its beaches. Beomeosa offers a temple-and-forest visit on the city’s mountain side, best enjoyed without adding an ambitious summit hike to a flight day.
Jagalchi: read the seafood market before ordering lunch
Jagalchi is a chance to see Busan’s connection to the sea at working-market scale. Browsing is a visit in its own right; you do not have to buy a large seafood meal to enjoy the atmosphere.
Haedong Yonggungsa: meet the sea at a working temple
The meeting of temple roofs and open sea is the reason to come. Slow down on the approach: this is a place of worship with stairs and uneven coastal surfaces, not just a photo terrace.
Gamcheon: a colourful hillside that deserves a quiet visit
The hillside colours are only part of Gamcheon. These lanes are also a neighbourhood, so a good visit balances viewpoints with space for residents to pass and live normally.
Gwangalli: an evening by the water, without rushing the bridge view
Gwangalli gives you a broad view of the bridge from the shore. Arrive while there is still daylight, find a comfortable stretch of promenade and let the changing light be the main event.
Haeundae from Gimhae: trade the airport for a beach walk
Haeundae is easy to enjoy without a packed activity schedule. Walk from the station toward the water, pause on the promenade and decide later whether you want a café or another coastal stop.
