Busan has WAY MORE to offer than just beaches and fish markets.

Yeah you're more than right, but those two things are generally considered the 'main' attractions in the city. Any tips for our followers visiting Busan in the future?

Literally no. 1 on my bucket list 🥹 I believe I've read somewhere that you can't use Google Maps in South Korea, is this still true? If so, did you miss it during your trip and are there any alternatives?

You should definitively go 😉

Yes, google maps is unfortunately not in SK, but we used 'Naver Maps' for navigation which worked fine. We must admit that it's kind of annoying not having Google Maps, since its a bit harder to search for 'restaurants' or 'toilets' nearby. But, like everything, you kinda get used to it 😆

Google maps definitely exists in Korea but doesn't perform as well as domestic apps such as Naver or Kakao.

You're absolutely right, thanks for clarifying! You can't navigate between places in South Korea using Google Maps. We used Naver for that :)

Timely as I’ll be heading there in a month or so. Thanks for the suggestions.
