Best time to visit
Visiting South Korea is best in the seasons of autumn and spring. April - June (spring) is the most popular time for travellers, as floral arrangements explode to life and pink cherry blossoms fringe the national parks and streets, especially in Gyeongju.
September - November (autumn) is also a refreshing period, with pops of warm hues and pleasant temperatures. Festivals are also aplenty during this time.
