When is the best time to travel to Korea?

Hello, friends! How are you all doing? :)

Many people are planning trips to Korea these days, so I'd like to talk about the best time of year to visit Korea.

I'll give you the most objective recommendations possible so you can have the best possible experience when you visit Korea.

Recommended Seasons to Visit Korea: Spring (April-June) and Autumn (September-November)

Reason 1: Weather

• Spring:The average temperature is a very pleasant 10-20℃. The daily temperature difference isn't very large, making it ideal for travel, and there's little rainfall, making it suitable for outdoor activities. According to Korea Meteorological Administration data, the average rainfall in spring is around 100mm, which is relatively dry.
• Autumn:The average temperature is 15-25℃, which is a comfortable temperature for travel. The weather is clear and dry, with little rain, making it perfect for sightseeing. The average rainfall in autumn is around 70mm, which is even less than in spring.

Reason 2: Natural Scenery

• Spring:Various spring flowers, such as cherry blossoms and azaleas, bloom, offering beautiful scenery. Cherry blossom festivals are held in particular in Yeouido, Seoul, Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju, and throughout Jeju Island. According to Korea Tourism Organization data, many tourists visit during the cherry blossom season in spring.
• Autumn:The leaves turn vibrant colors, creating a fantastic landscape. You can enjoy the autumn foliage in Seoraksan, Naejangsan, Jirisan, and other mountains. According to Korea Tourism Organization data, many people visit during the autumn foliage season to see the fall colors.

Reason 3: Number of Tourists

• Spring:There are fewer tourists compared to summer vacation and winter break periods, allowing you to travel without crowds at major tourist attractions. According to Korea Tourism Organization statistics, spring is a relatively less crowded time for travel, making for a comfortable experience.
• Autumn:There are fewer tourists compared to summer and winter, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable travel experience. You can spend more time leisurely at major tourist spots and attractions.

I recommended spring and autumn based on objective data.

If you visit during these times, you'll be able to enjoy Korea's beautiful nature and pleasant weather. If you have any more questions about traveling to Korea or are preparing for a trip, feel free to leave a comment or send a message!
