South Korea
Spring begins in South Korea
Spring is often seen as the best time of year to visit South Korea, with average daily temperatures a pleasant 15 - 18°C. During this time the flowers are in bloom and green spaces are bathed in the delightful hues of the pink cherry blossom, especially the city of Gyeongju. The weather is the least likely to be inclement and, as a result, many festivals and events can be found taking place.

High Season
From June to September, tourism increase considerably. June is the last month of spring, where trees and shrubs bloom. From July the summer arrives with a very warm climate, but at the same time the monsoon arrives with abundant rains.
Shoulder Season
May and October receive fewer visitors than usual. May is a spring month, with warm weather and clear skies, on the other hand, October is a mild month, with little rain and many cultural activities.
Low Season
From November, until April, tourism falls almost drastically. The winter in Korea can be very long and strong in the north, although the few rains allow to enjoy the Korean landscapes with ease. Prices go down in lodging and other services.
