When to go

South Korea has a four-season climate, just like Europe. At the height of winter, it receives cold air masses from Siberia that generate temperatures that can reach many degrees below zero. Unless you're dealing well with the freezing airs or wish to visit the country's winter resorts, the most favorable months to travel to South Korea are April to October. The summer months can be both hot (up to 35ºC) and humid. Thus, September and October can be considered the ideal time, when temperatures are milder and the landscape assumes great beauty due to the predominance of foliage in shades of yellow.
