When to go à SEOUL 서울 ?
Seoul's weather is dependent on the four distinct seasons that punctuate the Korean year. Winters, from late November to early March, can be truly Siberian with a dry cold. Summer is hot and humid, sometimes punctuated by typhoons during the monsoon and its torrential rains. Spring and autumn are short and rather pleasant because the air is fresh and the days are sunny. Seoul's temperatures average 15°C in winter and 34.7°C in summer.
When to go to Seoul? The high tourist season is during the summer (July-August) and it is one of the least pleasant. The weather is hot and very humid, the beaches are crowded and prices double. Spring and autumn are the mildest seasons, the cheapest and by far the least crowded, making it the best time to go to Seoul. We especially recommend the months of September and October to make the most of the area. This is also the time of the national holiday Chuseok, a kind of local All Saints' Day, and, as on the occasion of the other national holiday - Seollal, early February, the Lunar New Year - millions of Koreans take to the roads to pay homage to their ancestors in their homeland. Many stores close. But don't think that there is nothing you can do: on the contrary, this is the time to go to places usually crowded with tourists, because there is nobody there. Just avoid the main roads (highways) and take the train or plane instead of the bus. Be careful, for these dates, Koreans book their transportation several months in advance! An idea could be, for example, to go to Icheon by subway, 1 hour away from Seoul, and from there take a boat to one of the islands. When to go to Seoul? In spring or autumn if possible!
