Are you ready for your next adventure? Vietnam Airlines has just delivered exciting news for travel enthusiasts with the launch of its new direct flight route from Nha Trang to Busan, South Korea.

Starting June 1st, Vietnamese travelers will have an easier and more direct option to explore Busan’s stunning beaches, vibrant street food scene, and unique culture.
Why Busan Should Be Your Next Travel Destination
Busan, South Korea’s second-largest city and a major port, is a captivating destination that harmoniously blends tradition with modernity. Often referred to as South Korea’s “summer capital,” Busan is renowned for its pristine sandy beaches like Haeundae and Gwangalli, where you can bask in the sun, enjoy water sports, or simply witness a breathtaking sunset.
But Busan is much more than just its beaches. The city is a thriving hub of culture and art, boasting a plethora of fascinating attractions. Gamcheon Culture Village, with its colorful houses stacked like LEGO blocks, is one of the most popular “Instagrammable” spots. The bustling Jagalchi Fish Market offers a unique culinary experience with fresh seafood prepared right before your eyes. For those seeking tranquility, the ancient Beomeosa Temple, nestled on the slopes of Geumjeongsan Mountain, provides a serene escape and a glimpse into traditional Buddhist architecture.
Shopping enthusiasts will also find Busan delightful. Nampo-dong, Seomyeon, and the sprawling Shinsegae Centum City (once the world’s largest department store) will cater to all your retail therapy needs, from fashion and cosmetics to electronics.
