Korea-Seoul

Seoul is a delightful destination throughout the year, but spring and autumn are particularly enjoyable.

In spring, the cherry blossoms create a pink canopy over the city, filling the air with a subtle floral fragrance that is truly captivating. Autumn, on the other hand, brings out the vibrant colors of Seoul as golden leaves contrast beautifully with the blue sky.

These two seasons are not only peak travel times in Korea but also offer a stunning glimpse of the country’s autumn beauty. Visitors can indulge in culinary delights, shopping, and spa treatments, immersing themselves in Seoul’s unique cultural charm. 

Whether wandering through streets lined with cherry blossoms or strolling along paths adorned with autumn leaves, Seoul promises an unforgettable travel experience.
