42 places to see in Busan
42 places, three from each post office, across 16 districts — unranked.
Alongside the restaurants, the 2026 Korea Post dining guide asks each post office to name a few places worth seeing in its own district. In Busan that comes to 42 — three each from 14 post offices, from Gijang in the north-east to Gadeokdo in the west.
Because the quota is fixed at three per office, the list spreads evenly rather than piling up in the tourist centre: cliff parks and suspension bridges on the coast, Silla-era temples up Geumjeongsan, hillside villages above the old port, and burial mounds sitting in the middle of the city.
Every entry below is listed by district, unranked, with the address and a map link. Where the guide’s restaurants sit in the same district, there’s a link straight through to them.
