5 easy ways to save on your Busan stay<\/h2>\n
\n
1<\/span>Travel with a friend.<\/strong> Prices are per room, so sharing is the simplest way to pay about $20 each.<\/span><\/div>\n
2<\/span>Avoid summer weekends.<\/strong> July and August are beach season in Haeundae, and prices go up fast.<\/span><\/div>\n
3<\/span>Pick a place near a subway station.<\/strong> Busan’s subway is cheap and easy, so you don’t need to stay right on the beach.<\/span><\/div>\n
4<\/span>Check the final total.<\/strong> Taxes and extra fees can be added at checkout. Look at the last screen before you pay.<\/span><\/div>\n
5<\/span>Read the newest reviews.<\/strong> A score can change over time. Recent reviews tell you what the place is like now.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Prices and scores change every day, so please check the latest price on the booking page before you pay.<\/p>\n

Busan is a city where you can enjoy the sea in the morning, a market lunch in the afternoon, and a glittering night view in the evening.

Spend the money you save on fresh seafood or one more day by the sea! \ud83e\udd80<\/p>\n
