My 3-Day Winter Travel Itinerary in Busan

🍴Dinner:
Sambari Haeundae Gunam-ro Branch (삼바리 해운대 구남로점)
Famous for its grilled octopus—arguably the best I've tried in South Korea.
The grilled clams are another highlight; a pro tip is to mix the octopus seasoning with the clams for an extra burst of flavor.

Here I am at one of the most iconic spots in Park Güell—the mesmerizing serpentine bench that gracefully winds around the Plaça de la Natura, the park’s vibrant central plaza. This stunning piece of art is unlike any other in the city, inviting visitors to sit and take in the breathtaking views.

💙SIPS—The No.1 Bar in the World located in Barcelona💙
🇪🇸Buzzing Barcelona🇪🇸
I definitely did not pass up the opportunity to visit “SIPS” ~ a drinkery house/cocktail
Bar located in the same area we were staying at in the Eixample neighborhood. We did have to wait in line for a while, and the line got even longer within the first 30 minutes of opening. Happy we got in as were like the 5th in line🥳
🥇Hialed and Awarded as 2023’s BEST BAR IN THE WORLD AND BEST BAR IN EUROPE
Also known as The Best Cocktail Bar in the World🏆
🍾The interior of SIPS was nothing short of a simple yet inviting bar, but one thing you will notice here is that there is no physical barrier or that long bar table, that is usually between the bartender and the customers, this creates a rather more homey vibe where one can socialize even with the bartenders themselves.
We had their Bergamot Negroni— quite a special one, as it is served with “unmelting” ice, we had their Gin infused Shakerato, their Frida Kahlo Tequila, Vodka Mil Fulls and their Mosaic. My favorite was the Bergamot Negroni👍
🍹The bartenders were really very creative and made sure they made and presented the cocktails with precision, friendly people too.
🤭As we left people still kept coming in and the place, was really busy. Many locals and tourists come to visit and I guess try to their world famous cocktails. Glad we got the chance👍

💺We were seated on the side tables with cushioned seats, and served with their drink menu. They also gave us some nibbles to eat with our drinks.
🍹We ordered their signature cocktail the ‘Manos de Dalí, or Hands of Dalí, according to SIPS, “Millions of years ago, before homo sapiens existed, we drank with our hands.” This glass is a replica of a pair of hands in which Asian pear is combined with port, Spanish brandy, and hints of cocoa.”
I really liked this one, we also had their Espresso Martini🧡

🇪🇸An amazing hotel to stay in in BARCELONA🇪🇸❤️
🇪🇸 Buzzing Barcelona🇪🇸
I’m back in the vibrant city of Barcelona, and this time my stay was at the charming Hotel Caledonian, nestled in the lively Eixample neighborhood. We were fortunate to spend our nights in a spacious Double Room with a lovely terrace. The room itself was a delightful retreat, featuring incredibly comfy beds and a generously sized bathroom that made our stay even more enjoyable.
One of the highlights was definitely the terrace. We had lounge chairs that provided the perfect spot for relaxation, where we could soak in the sun while taking in breathtaking views of the entire Eixample district. The sight of the iconic Sagrada Familia in the distance was simply magical. Each morning, we welcomed the day with a cup of coffee, enjoying the serene surroundings and the buzzing atmosphere of the city. I absolutely loved every moment of this trip! 💚👍
