This estimate provides a moderate budget range for two persons for a four-day trip to Seoul and Busan, covering accommodation, meals, transportation, and activities. Actual costs may vary based on individual preferences, exchange rates, and the availability of discounts or special offers. It’s always a good idea to research prices, book accommodation and transportation in advance, and allocate some extra funds for unexpected expenses.
