Description
May is one of the best months to visit South Korea, with pleasant spring weather (15-25°C) and lush green landscapes after the cherry blossom season. The mild temperatures make it ideal for exploring historic sites in Seoul, Gyeongju, and Busan, as well as hiking in Seoraksan National Park. The country also comes alive with the Lotus Lantern Festival, celebrated across temples and streets with colorful lantern displays, marking Buddha’s birthday. Coastal cities like Jeju Island also offer scenic drives with blooming canola fields and clear skies.
