Are you gearing up for an unforgettable trip to Seoul, South Korea?
Whether you're a foodie eager to explore the best in Korean fine dining or an aesthetic enthusiast looking to experience top-notch plastic surgery in the world's beauty capital, the timing of your trip plays a crucial role in maximizing your experience.
At All About Seoul (AAS), the leader in Korean medical tourism, we’ll guide you through the best months to visit, seasonal highlights, and temperature breakdowns, while showcasing top activities to help you make the most of your trip, all while experiencing the finest medical care Korea has to offer.
Let’s explore the perfect months for your Seoul adventure!
The frozen winterland of Korea can be witnessed between December and February. With temperatures averaging between -5 degrees Celsius and 5 degrees Celsius, the Korean winters are not for the faint of heart as they can be quite cold. Still, they certainly are for those who want to have a beautiful snowy season.
While you’re visiting Seoul during the winter, one of the best places to enjoy festive decorations and luxurious shopping is Shinsegae Department Store in Myeongdong.
Known for its extravagant Christmas light displays and premium shopping experiences, this store is a must-visit.
From luxury fashion brands to a gourmet food hall, it's the perfect place to warm up and enjoy high-end shopping during the cold season.

Some of the top activities that many do in Korea during the winter include skiing and snowboarding, visiting saunas, and winter light festivals (especially since this is surrounding Christmas time).
If we had to recommend one activity for you out of those, we’d go with skiing and snowboarding. One of the best places for skiing near Seoul is the Bears Town Ski Resort.
Visiting Seoul, South Korea, is always a treat but there are so many hidden gems surrounding Seoul, as well.
It is located in Pocheon which is about an hour and a half outside of Seoul and is known for being a great spot for getting your snow-frosted adrenaline kick

If you’re planning to get a procedure in the winter then we recommend rhinoplasty in Korea.
Getting this procedure done during the winter months might be the best as bruising is easier to manage in cooler weather.
If you’re wondering when is the best time to visit South Korea, then spring is one of the best options.
Spring in Korea takes place for about a month from April to May. However, whilst the spring season lasts about a month, cherry blossoms are only in full bloom for a week or two of that time.
The average temperatures in Korea during spring range from 5-20 degrees Celcius, making for perfectly mild weather.
You can’t say ‘spring in Korea’ without talking about cherry blossoms.
One of the best activities to do in the spring is to hop between all of the cherry blossom viewing spots (parks, festivals, etc.) and take your share of pictures with the beautiful blooms.
This is also the peak season for picnicking and parks on the weekends have the most lovely vibe as everyone takes in the perfect weather.
If you’re looking for a perfect spot to picnic, take stunning photos, and also spot some deer then Seoul Forest is a great suggestion.
Located in Seongsu, it is not only in one of the hippest areas but also boasts wide spice to enjoy the weather.

Alternative activities that you can look into around this time are temple stays as they often boast majestic backdrops with the flowers surrounding the peaceful and spiritual grounds.
For a medical procedure in the spring, if you’re in the market for a tummy tuck then spring in Korea would be the best time to get it done as you will be ready to show off the results by the summer.
Summer in Korea is from June to August and ranges between the temperatures of 22 and 30 degrees Celsius.
It is a season filled with greenery and that makes you want to head out and adventure.
However, this is also when monsoon season kicks in.
As a result, it is one of the cheapest times to visit Korea as many tourists avoid the heavy rains, making hotel and flight prices cheaper.

Korea has a very exciting summer culture as there is so much to do and enjoy ranging from visiting the sea to going to night markets along the Han River, and even visiting elaborate waterparks.
One of our summer activity suggestions to you is to visit Caribbean Bay if you’d like to experience an authentic Korean water park. It is in Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province, which is on the outskirts of Seoul.
The water park has both indoor and outdoor facilities and is also in close proximity to the Everland Resort amusement park, which is another must-do on an adventure-filled trip to Seoul, South Korea.

Summer is also one of the best months for minimally invasive procedures such as eyelid surgery in Korea.
If you choose to do a non-incision method for double eyelid surgery, for example, then you’ll have no problems recovering but also making the most of your summer in Korea.
Another good time to visit South Korea is in the autumn/fall.
Fall in Korea usually falls from September to November with average temperatures ranging between 10-22 degrees Celsius.
It can be difficult to figure out the best time to visit Korea in autumn, however, mid-October to early November is always a good period as this is when most of the leaves turn a mix of yellow, orange, and red.
Besides taking in the gorgeous golden foliage and enjoying picnics in the beautiful landscapes, one of the most popular activities to enjoy in the fall is going hiking.
Many Koreans are passionate about hiking, especially those who are into health and wellness. One of the most popular mountains to visit during the fall in Seoul is the Bukhansan (Bukhan Mountain) which is over 800m high and thus offers breathtaking views from the top.

If you’re not into hiking but still want to take in the gorgeous leafage, then you can visit one of the most in-demand spots for fall photos in Korea called the Hwadamsup (or Hwadam Botanic Garden) which is located in Gwangju City, Gyeonggi Province. It is about an hour away from Seoul by car.

The transition between winter and fall in Korea would also be the perfect time to schedule yourself for a liposuction procedure, as wearing the compression garments required for healing is easiest under layers of clothes - much needed to survive the impending Korean cold.
