With a harmonious mix of urban amenities, historical sites, and scenic parks, it's an appealing destination for both residents and visitors.
Best Time to Visit

The local subway and bus lines connect directly to Busan; tap your T-money card for discounted fares. Try the local yangsan bread and visit the city's many onsens (hot springs).
