1. Spring (March-May)

Cherry blossom season (late March - early April) is peak travel time. Yeouido, Gyeongju, and Jinhae are top spots. Weather is pleasant but yellow dust (hwangsa) may require a mask.

2. Summer (June-August)

June-July brings the monsoon season with heavy rain. July-August beaches on the East, West, and South coasts are popular. Pack sunscreen and light clothing.

3. Autumn (September-November)

Foliage season (October-November) rivals spring for best travel conditions. Seoraksan, Naejangsan, and Bukhansan have stunning fall colors. Bring a jacket for cool evenings.

4. Winter (December-February)

Ski resorts in Pyeongchang and Gangwon are popular. Enjoy Christmas and New Year festivities. Heavy winter clothing is essential against the cold.
