When to visit South Korea? Fall is perhaps the best time to visit South Korea. It’s sunny, the skies are blue, and Korea’s spectacular autumn foliage is a real draw. Spring can be beautiful, and is a great time of year to be in Korea. Summer is hot, muggy, crowded, wet, typhoon-prone and expensive. Winter is cold and dry, but is a good time to go skiing or hot-spring hopping.
