Come join us as we head from Busan to Seoul in this KTX first-class review of our train ride in South Korea back to the capital. When it comes to getting from the second biggest city to Seoul you can't find a better way than taking the KTX train in terms of comfort, efficiency, and price.

Our journey started off bright and early as we headed to Busan train station early to grab a bite to eat. For breakfast, we had Kimchi Jjigae - a spicy Korean stew along with rice and side dishes.

The KTX train ride from Busan to Seoul was as scenic as you can get on a bright and sunny day as we passed through tunnels, countryside, farms, and cities along the way.

What a first-class ticket offers you is free cold drinking water, newspaper service and a small snack box that includes mixed nuts and a cookie. You get a bit more leg-room as well when sitting down. In terms of how much a one-way ticket costs it comes to 83,700 Won which is $70 USD for a 2 Hour + journey.

BUSAN TO SEOUL KTX First Class Review | Train ride in South Korea :

Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.

Our most recent trip was to South Korea where I embarked upon a two-week adventure without Audrey. Invited as part of a YouTube vlogging trip, organized by KTO, I spent the first week traveling with other YouTubers in Seoul, Busan and Gyeongju. My second week included independent exploration of Korea with my good friend and fellow YouTuber David of DavidsBeenHere.

Having lived and traveled in South Korea, the chance to return to one of my favorite countries was one of the biggest surprises of 2019. On this particular trip, I had an opportunity to do many things I had not previously covered including a visit to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone between South Korea and North Korea), a Buddhist Temple Stay and a Korean cooking class. It was almost as if the program designed by KTO knew exactly what I had missed out on before.

Obviously, a huge highlight from the two weeks I spent revisiting Korea was the food. I feasted on all of my favorite Korean dishes including Korean barbecue, dolsot bibimbap, haemul pajeon, tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimbap and many others. I can honestly say that Korean food is world-class and is one of my top 5 favorite cuisines in the world. Aside from trying familiar dishes, I had the opportunity to sample raw Korean seafood for the first time.

While visiting Seoul, highlights included going to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Seoul Tower, Jogyesa Temple and Hongdae. As one of the biggest cities in the world, I barely scratched the surface of things to do in Seoul.

Spending extended time in Busan was my favorite part about the trip with top highlights including a Korean temple stay, fresh fish markets and a Korean baseball game. It was from Busan that we ended up taking a day-trip to Daegu where we enjoyed a traditional Korean market and tried Galbi-Jjim for the first time.

If you want to see more videos from Korea in the future, let us know in the comments what places you'd like us to travel to and what food experiences you'd like to see on this travel channel.
