Busan Travel Forum

Hi...Are there's any transportation from Busan port to Seoul?, I'II much prefer bus or train as taxi will be expensive. I'm planning to travel from Japan to South Korea and my intention is taking a boat or ferry from Hakata Port( japan) to Busan Port (South Korea). Any recommondation on budget guesthouse or cheap hostel.....many thanks

Cheers

I think I read the new fast train is in operation (2 hours travel time).

Please check this web site for a train from Busan to Seoul.

It will take about 30 munites from the Busan Port to Busan Railway Station... and about one hour ~ one and half hour to Busan Bus Terminal for outbound of the city.

Take the bullet train from Busan to Seoul. I took it in March, very nice an fast.

You can take the bullet train, it takes about 3.5 hours. The Samual line is an hour slower, but it's cheaper and much more comfortable. The bullet train is comparable to sitting in coach in an airplane. You could fly as well. The price to fly from Pusan to Seoul is just slightly higher than the bullet train. If believe the price is about 75,000 won or around $60 US. As far as accomadations. Their are a ton of Motels. You can't miss them. They are usually 25,000 to 50,000 won per night. They are clean and come with showers and TV. Some even have free internet. If you want to stay in a hotel, expect to shell out a lot of cash.
