The BTS 'Arirang' Tour Busan leg runs June 5–21, 2026 at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium (Sajik-dong). Getting to and from the stadium is generally convenient via Busan Subway Line 3. Jonghap Undongjang Station is the stop closest to the Asiad complex.
Traveling from Seoul to Busan, the KTX from Seoul Station to Busan Station is the primary option. Trains during tour dates tend to sell out early, so booking ahead is advisable. For accommodation, Seomyeon, Haeundae, and Gwangalli are common base areas for their transport links and amenities.

Busan's two most well-known beaches, Haeundae and Gwangalli, are good spots to spend time around the shows. Gwangalli Beach, with its view of Gwangan Bridge, is a popular evening destination. Both areas have dense clusters of accommodation and restaurants, making them practical bases during the tour.
Busan's defining local dishes include dwaeji gukbap (pork soup rice), milmyeon (wheat noodles), and ssiat hotteok (seed-filled pancakes). The Seomyeon area has multiple dwaeji gukbap restaurants that are frequently mentioned as pre- or post-concert options. Milmyeon is a Busan-specific variation of cold noodles, easy to find at local snack shops.

For sightseeing, Jagalchi Market and Gamcheon Culture Village are two of Busan's best-known landmarks. Jagalchi is Busan's largest fish market, where fresh seafood can be bought on the floor or eaten at nearby restaurants. Gamcheon is known for its stepped alleys and colorful buildings — a widely visited photo spot.
After the shows, returning to Seoul via KTX from Busan Station is the standard route. Seats on post-show trains tend to fill quickly, so booking the return train before the concert rather than after is a practical move.
