Best time to visit South Korea

In a country as wonderfully diverse as South Korea, it doesn’t matter what time of year you choose to travel, there will always be plenty of fantastic activities and experiences to be enjoyed.

Best time to visit

At Scott Dunn, our travel experts know the best times to travel to South Korea and can help you plan the perfect trip based on what you want to see and do.

Typically, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to go to South Korea, since this is when the country’s naturally breathtaking scenery comes alive. Spring and autumn are the slightly cooler seasons with less chance of rainfall compared to that of the wet and hot summer months and colder winter months.
