The two main seasons that are popular times to visit South Korea are during the spring months of April, May, and June and the autumn months of September, October, and November when the weather is typically sunny and dry with comfortable temperatures. The country features four distinct seasons and regional temperatures depend on the altitudinous interior and the warmer, windy coastline. April - June springtime This is one of the best times of year to visit South Korea boasting daily average temperatures of 59-64 degrees. Vibrant flowers bloom in the springtime and the stunning pink cherry blossom blooms can be seen, especially in Gyeongju. There are many festivals and events during this time of year and the verdant countryside and hills are great for exploring the national parks like Songnisan and Seoraksan. Days can be filled with sunshine and accommodations and attractions can be crowded. July - August - Summertime Summertime in South Korea lasts from July to August with daily average temperatures ranging from 73-86 making it the hottest time of the year. Summer also brings the rain and monsoon season with this being the wettest time of the year with the most rainfall. It can be humid during the summer months when the beautiful beaches and coastal cities can be enjoyed at places such as the famous Haeundae Beach and the holiday islands of Jeju. September - November - Autumn The autumn months bring lots of vibrant colors to South Korea with spectacular shades of orange, red, and yellow with the trees changing and leaves falling around the stunning national parks. The weather during this time is a mile with average daily temperatures ranging from 66-69 degrees and low rainfall. This is still a good time to visit the islands and beaches along with attending fun festivals. December - March - Winter Wintertime in South Korea brings plummeting temperatures as low as -4 degrees in the northern regions of Gangwon-do the temperatures on the coast and the Island of Jeju can be much milder in the wintertime. Snowfall comes during these months which creates stunning scenes, winter sports, and resorts to enjoy.

Seoul: The Restored Capital

Seoul , the capital of South Korea, boasts a rich history and culture , tracing back to ancient times under various names like Wirye-Seong, Namgyeong, and Hanseong. It served as the capital from the Joseon Dynasty (1394-1910) to the present day, making it a repository of Korea's heritage.

Destroyed during the Korean War in 1950, the city underwent extensive reconstruction and restoration, blending old and new seamlessly. Today, visitors can witness this juxtaposition as they explore the city's vibrant streets. For example, Seoul's new City Hall in the heart of downtown is right across the street from Deoksugung, a Joseon-Dynasty palace.

Guided tours through Seoul offer a captivating journey through time, such as the Bukchon Hanok Village showcasing the city's evolution from its ancient roots. On the other hand, the Lotte World Tower Seoul Sky Observatory is the world's fifth tallest building and Guinness World Record holder for being the highest glass-floored deck in the world.

Busan: Korea's Second City and a Port to the World

Located 3 hours southeast of Seoul, Busan is Korea's second-largest city and one of the largest ports in Korea. Known as the ship-making capital of the world, Busan offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere and expansive beaches.

Among its cultural treasures are ancient temples — dating back over 1000 years — like the seaside Haedong Yonggungsa, offering scenic views and historical insights. 

Visitors shouldn't miss the lively Jagalchi Fish Market for fresh seafood and the Sea Life Aquarium at Haeundae Beach to see marine life from a 260-foot underwater tunnel.

Get Out of the Urban Jungle!

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Jeju boasts stunning natural attractions like Hallasan Mountain, an extinct volcano with a crater lake at its summit.

Suncheon: Situated in the South Jeolla Province of South Korea, the city is home to Suncheon Bay, a vast tidal wetland recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, attracting birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts from around the world.

Sokcho: A gateway to the spectacular Seoraksan National Park, this charming city is renowned for its stunning natural scenery suitable for outdoor adventures such as hiking, camping, and exploring the region's rich cultural heritage.

What is the Food like in South Korea?

Korea's cuisine offers a range of flavors, from spicy stews and meat barbecues to milder dishes like tteokbokki (rice cakes) and beef bone soup. Meals often center around meat and are accompanied by rice or noodles. 

Before your main dish arrives, you'll be treated to banchan (small side dishes), which you can enjoy with unlimited refills at no extra cost. Kimchi, a spicy fermented cabbage, is a ubiquitous staple found in virtually every meal, showcasing the rich culinary tradition of South Korea.

Top 5 Must-Try Dishes of South Korea

These dishes will introduce you to the flavors and unique tastes of Korean cuisine, so remember to taste them on your trip to Korea.

Bibimbap: A warm bowl of rice topped with various seasoned vegetables. Have it with a fried egg and minced beef, or keep it vegetarian. Mix it with spicy gochujang sauce and fragrant sesame oil sizzling in the clay bowl.

Bulgogi: Thin slices of beef sirloin marinated in a sweet and savory sauce that goes great with a bowl of rice as an appetizer or can be the meal itself.

Samgyupsal: Every Korean's favorite - thick slices of pork belly barbecued at your table, with an array of condiments, side dishes, and greens to wrap it up.

Budae jjigae: A spicy stew that can be customized with ham, sausages, spam, instant noodles, kimchi, and vegetables. It's boiled in a large pot in the middle of your table for everyone to share.

Tteokbokki: Rice cakes can be eaten alone as a snack or added to a stew as a meal. They're pretty chewy and have a subtle flavor when eaten alone. Most Koreans love mixing it with a spicy sauce.

What to Wear In South Korea

When visiting South Korea, being mindful of local cultural norms regarding attire is essential. Koreans tend to value modesty and neatness in fashion, so opt for clothing that covers your shoulders and avoids being overly revealing to respect local sensibilities. Additionally, dressing neatly and avoiding overly casual attire like sweatpants and flip-flops can help you blend in and show respect for Korean culture.

Photography Tips for Your Korea Tour

South Korea is perfect for photography tours , from vibrant cityscapes to serene countryside scenes. In Seoul , capture the city's vibrant nightlife with its glowing signs in eclectic neighborhoods. For tranquil shots of hanok villages, palaces, and temples, aim for early morning or late afternoon when crowds are thinner and lighting is softer, enhancing the beauty of your photographs.

What is the Weather Like in South Korea?

South Korea experiences distinct seasons, with temperatures becoming more extreme as you head north. Summers are hot and humid, averaging 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, while winters are dry and cold, with temperatures around 27 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Spring and fall offer pleasant weather for outdoor activities, although spring may bring occasional rain showers.

Does Korea get snow?

Winter in South Korea brings some snow, particularly in the northern regions where wet snow may fall in cities. In mountainous areas, there's usually enough snow for winter sports enthusiasts. However, southern regions experience milder temperatures with infrequent snowfall.

Is English Understood in South Korea?

English is spoken frequently in Seoul, but the minute you're out of the capital, you'll find it hard to meet Koreans who speak English.

Here are some essential phrases that'll help you get by:

An-yeoung-ha-seh-yo - "Hello"

Er-mah-yeh-yo? - "How much is this?"

Uh-dee-ees-suh-yo? - "Where am I?"

Hwa-jang-shil-uh-dee-ees-suh-yo? - "Where is the bathroom?"

Is it safe to travel to South Korea?

Absolutely. South Korea is a remarkably safe destination, distinct from its northern neighbor. While incidents of crime such as murder are rare, travelers should remain cautious of occasional pickpocketing and scams, particularly with taxi drivers who may overcharge during the evening hours.

Read more about where it's safe to travel now »

Is it easy for vegetarians/vegans to find food in South Korea?

Finding vegetarian options in South Korea is relatively easy — request popular dishes like bibimbap without beef and egg. Other options include tofu stew, sweet potato noodles, and green onion pancakes. 

However, it's essential to be cautious as Koreans may struggle to distinguish what ingredients are considered non-vegan. Some "vegetarian" or "vegan" dishes may contain traces of fermented fish, eggs, or seafood. Inform your tour guide to arrange suitable options, or consider visiting one of the many vegan restaurants in Seoul.

What are some Korean etiquette rules I should know?

In South Korea, greetings typically involve a traditional bow rather than a wave; some might follow it with a handshake. When giving or receiving anything important, such as gifts, money, or name cards, always use both hands as a sign of respect.

Geograhy and environment.

South Korea is located at the south end of the Korean Peninsula, between the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea. Separated from   Japan   by the Korean Strait and demarcated from the state of North Korea by Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), South Korea's terrain is a mix of flat lowlands and forested mountains. The coasts of South Korea are rocky and jagged, with thousands of islands (mostly inhabitable) scattered off the coastline.

Culture and customs

South Korea draws some traditions and customs from other neighbouring countries in Asia with a culture that stems from Confucianism. This system of philosophical and ethical teachings was introduced to South Korea in the 4 th century through Chinese scholars and was quickly embraced by the wider population until it officially became the state ideology in the early 1900s.

Confucianism emphasises respect for aging, elders and ancestors, an intrinsic hierarchy that runs through work and social life, and upholds traditional family roles so you’ll often see families living together in one house.

During your travels around South Korea, you’ll also see plenty of traditions such as the act of bowing when greeting people, women wearing traditional dress (hanbok) and the practice of taekwondo (Korean martial arts). As well as ancient beliefs, new generations of South Koreans are embracing a modernised culture, one full of K-pop, Korean cosmetics and popular foods like kimchi and tteokbokki.

History and government

South Korea’s had an often turbulent history dating back to around 8000 BC when it was known as just Korea, but the country’s most impactful conflict began in the 1500s with the attempted Japanese invasion. Korea went on to become a Japanese colony in 1910 following its annexation of the Korean Empire, which ended in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II.

The country was then divided into two parts, the northern part which was protected by the Soviet Union and the southern part which was protected largely by the United States. Both the northern and southern parts of Korea officially became North and South Korea in 1948 when the two regions failed to agree on forming one, united government.

In 1950, North Korea set in motion the Korean War which was intended to unify the two countries under communism. But after much destruction to infrastructure and loss of human life, a cease-fire was called in 1953 with both countries signing the 1953 Korean Armistice Agreement. The two countries have since agreed to work towards a final settlement (The Peace Treaty on the Korean Peninsula) to formally and officially end the Korean War.

South Korea now enjoys a fully prosperous economy with a similar capital economic standing to countries such as the United States, Japan and various countries in Western Europe.

Top 5 culinary delicacies of South Korea

1. bibimbap.

As one of Korea's standout dishes, bibimbap is a tasty concoction of meat, vegetables, egg and rice. Soy sauce, chilli paste, garlic and sesame oil all add flavour to this amazingly colourful dish found everywhere in Korea.

Kimchi is hailed as a nutritional powerhouse - packing a healthy punch of nutrients, vitamins and beneficial bacteria that makes it one of the world's healthiest superfoods. But most people don't eat these fermented vegetables for health reasons - it's the uniquely, tasty flavour and versatility that makes kimchi so popular in Korean cooking.

These delicious, savoury pancakes are a standard of Korean cuisine. With hundreds of different varieties, jeon can be served with red meat, chicken, seafood, vegetables, tofu and even edible flowers.

Similar to sushi, these highly popular rice-based morsels feature fish, beef or crab, wrapped in seaweed with pickled or fresh vegetables. Available all over Korea, they are the perfect snack on the run or quick, cheap lunch to enjoy between sightseeing.

Arriving in Korea by the way of Mongolia, mandu are essentially boiled, steamed or pan-fried dumplings. A cheap, street food favourite, mandu can be filled with everything from pheasant to tofu, cucumber, beef and beyond.

Split by a trigger-happy, dictator-lead border, South Korea offers travellers a dazzling range of unique experiences, beautiful landscapes and 5000 years of culture and history as opposed from its much-secluded neighbour. And although its capital, Seoul, takes the most of the plaudits with technologically driven and red-hot energy of its residents, South Korea also has more to offer if you would venture into the road less taken. The various geographical areas of South Korea are just mind-boggling, to say the least. This land of "10,000 peaks, 10,000 islands and 10,000 waterfalls" is a place of never-ending contrasts that is filled with beautiful beaches, ancient temples, remarkable natural scenery and most importantly, friendly people to help you get around.

Your trip to South Korea will certainly be as amazing as you can imagine it to be when you plan with your family and friends for tour packages to South Korea!

What to do in South Korea?

- Let's get Seoul out of the way first. Located at the heart of the city, ironically fascinating, you can tour South Korea's traditional hanok houses in Bukchon Hanok Village. In the Summer, you can find shade and dip your feet inside the Cheonggyecheon Stream, a modern stream that runs through downtown Seoul.

- For some adrenaline rushing good time, you can spend a day at the world's largest indoor theme park, Lotte World, or scream and shout at Everland Theme Park. Also, be ready to be impressed by some architectural brilliance at Ewha Woman's University and Dongdaemun Design Plaza.

- Jeju Island, full of nature's treasure. In the east coast of Jeju, you can tour its UNESCO World Natural Heritage at Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, Seopjikoji, Baekyaki Oreum, and Woljeongri Beach. You can also witness a three-tier waterfall at Cheonjeyeon Waterfall.

- In the half-moon-shaped isle near Seoul, touring Nami Island is also a must when you were to visit South Korea. Nami Island is a magical and unique place as this island truly reflects how stunning the 4 seasons of Korea can be.

Where to shop in South Korea?

- If you love shopping, Korea is the perfect place for you. even when you have a few hours in Seoul, you need to squeeze Myeong-dong into your plan. With a chock load of massive department stores, fashion boutiques, and, of course, a wave of skincare and cosmetics shop, Myeong-dong can convert anyone into becoming a shopaholic.

Great tour guide and tour but very poor choice of hotels which had no AC and no food options either in the hotel or nearby.

Essential South Korea

Best of South Korea

Daniel was an amazing guide. A truly caring person who wants his travelers to maximise their travel experience. He's always happy, joyful and lots of positive energy bursting at the rim. He knows his history well and we learned so much from him. The last night's dinner was like high school graduation when we all didn't want to part ways. Even if it was already so late at night and Daniel almost missed his last train home, he stuck with us to the last minutes saying our sad goodbyes to all our newfound friends through G Adventures. And...... Daniel is a rock star at karaoke night!! We never laughed so hard in our life. What an great CEO. What a great group of amazing people. Thank you so much. Daniel, just a piece of advise which you already know because we have actually told you..... Please slow down, it's so hard to catch up with you and your fast walking pace. Hahaha. Take care and all the best.

12-Day South Korea Adventure: From Seoul to Jeju Island

I had the most incredible time in such a fantastic country! I visited during Autumn, so the weather and fall foliage is just stunning during this time, which added to the whole experience. My highlights included exploring Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul, hiking in Seorkasan National Park in Sokcho, and visiting Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in Busan. I fell in love with South Korea and I can't wait to go back! Thank you to The Dragon Trip!!

Soulful South Korea

We had a wonderful time on an excellent culture trip with a wonderful group,- really like a family. Our local tour guide Sam showed us a lot of cultural and historical sights with background information. He looked for the group like a father and showed us a really southful South Korea with a lot of heart and soul. Thank you, Sam. It was an amazing, unforgetable time for us and we will keep it in good memories. It was a pleasure to travel with all of you.

South Korea Highlights

Die Tour war toll, ich habe selten in 8 Tagen so viel erlebt. Unser Tourguide Pam war so zuvorkommend, hilfreich und nett und sie kannte sich sehr gut aus! Intrepid legt wohl wirklich viel Wert auf gute Guides. Ich würde allerdings unbedingt ein paar zusätzliche Tage in Seoul empfehlen, in der Stadt gibt es zu viel zu sehen, um es in den zwei Tagen zu erleben.

Ancient South Korea - 7 Days

great overview of Korea, guide was knowledgable and friendly, value for money as many delicious and authentic meals were included. Hotels were modern and comfortable. My only complaint was the hotel in Seoul was not as well located as it could have been a bit far from the main sites. However for the price this was an extremely good value tour and I enjoyed it very much and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

CheongAn could not have been a better tour guide. He went above and beyond in everything he did. He made the tour incredible and an unmissable experience. Not only was he an incredible tour guide but he was also a friend who you felt like you were travelling with, making the experience even more enjoyable. Having a local guide was so helpful and CheongAn was always able to answer questions/help everyone engage with the history and culture of Korea.

What people love about South Korea Tours in Fall / Autumn

Michael, our tour guide, was patient, friendly, and flexible with different age travelers and physical abilities by adjusting the activities for them. The Best of Korea tour's itinerary was very full. I think many of us enjoyed the itinerary and the experiences we had. I, particularly, enjoyed the various transportation methods which added to the experience. The War Memorial Hall of Korea museum is a big museum and had very important history. Most of us needed more time. I think this activity could of come at the beginning of the tour for us to have better knowledge of Korean history. On the tour's last day, after the museum, most of us thought there was going to be a group dinner. The tours I have been in the past had end of the tour dinner to say good bye and show our appreciation to the tour guide. It's nice to have a closure after spending a week together. We were disappointed that the day just ended after returning to the hotel. After the DMZ visit, we had a very nice lunch at a well known restaurant. This time could of have been a good opportunity to say good bye but I think due to limited time, food came out late, we didn't linger.

Was excellent tour guide was the best
