Bourdieu Posted March 27 #1 Share Posted March 27 On Celebrity Millennium in May with a port stop in Busan, South Korea. Is it possible to do Busan on your own? Is there a shuttle bus at the port and, if there is, where does it take you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compliment shuttle will drop off at the main building (2500 feet away). Busan metro is nearby, Busan City Tour Bus (BUTI) Station is near the The Korean Teachers' Credit Union (KTCU) Building.

WESTEAST Posted April 18 #4 Share Posted April 18 We took a ship excursion which was interesting to a Buddhist Temple which is nestled on a mountainside surrounded by wisteria woods, Beomosa Temple and then to the Gukje Market and Jagalchi Fish Market. The fish market was the highlight - we saw a dry market and then a wet market which was largest fish market we have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehowlingroad Posted April 18 #5 Share Posted April 18 We just came back from Busan; we opted for a private tour (just the family and a licensed guide with his own car). There are sections of Busan that are doable on your own and attractions that are accessible via the subway network or walkable from the port (BIFF Square/International Market and Jagalchi Seafood Market come to mind), but some of the most popular attractions aren't, such as the Gamcheon Cultural Village and Haedong Yonggungsa (a Buddhist temple nestled on a cliffside facing the sea). My advice is to pinpoint what you want to see first and then research if those places are DIY-possible, or if it'll be less of a hassle to book a guide with transport for the day.

Northern Aurora Posted April 19 #6 Share Posted April 19 I am posting from the Millennium. We were at Busan three days ago. The complimentary shuttle ran continuously from the pier to a Busan Subway Station. Chinatown was close so apparently a number folks visited Chinatown.

XSYTD Posted April 24 #8 Share Posted April 24 How easy is it to get a local guide or taxi available when you disembark if we have not pre arranged any tours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of taxi drivers will congregate right outside the port terminal and all of them will be advertising some sort of tour or all-day transportation for a flat rate. Can't guarantee the quality of said tours, since we pre-arranged ours, but make sure to discuss the price before you get into the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
