Best Time to Visit Busan
The best time to visit Busan is during spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November). Spring brings cherry blossoms and mild temperatures of 15–25°C, while autumn offers clear skies, pleasant weather, and stunning fall colours. These are the most comfortable seasons for sightseeing and beach walks.
Summer (July to August) is peak beach season, with temperatures reaching 30–35°C. Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches are packed with sunseekers, and hotel rates can be 30–50% higher. The annual Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) in October also drives up hotel demand. Winter (December to February) is cold at -2 to 8°C but offers the lowest hotel rates — up to 40% cheaper than summer.
Getting to Busan
Malaysian travellers can reach Busan via Gimhae International Airport (PUS), which receives flights from Kuala Lumpur. Direct flights take approximately 6 hours, with return fares typically costing RM 800–RM 2,500 depending on the season. Several airlines including AirAsia X and Korean Air operate this route.
From Gimhae Airport, the Busan-Gimhae Light Rail Transit connects to the city's subway system in about 30 minutes. A taxi from the airport to Haeundae takes approximately 45 minutes and costs around RM 50–RM 80.
