Is May the right month?
May is actually the best month of the year in Busan. Good timing.
Our verdict
Busan is Korea's 2nd city and the country's largest port: 3.4 million inhabitants, 7 beaches, 4 fish markets. May-June are my favourite months (8.2/10): 13-26°C, 28-38% rain, good temperature for Haeundae beach without the summer crowds.
Plan your trip
Hotels at their lowest outside peak season, highest on comfortable months. Shoulder seasons offer a good price/climate compromise.
