South Korea

K-pop beats meet cherry blossoms, April to June blooms with vibrant, temperate charm

The best time to visit South Korea is between April and June, when cherry blossoms and mild days light up Seoul and Jeju. With 15°C to 25°C weather, it’s great for exploring Gyeongbokgung, hiking Hallasan, or eating bibimbap in Busan. For fewer crowds, try September to November.
