Route Overview

Embark on a 10-day adventure through the bustling streets of Seoul and the serene landscapes of Jeju City. This itinerary combines urban exploration with outdoor activities, providing a well-rounded experience of South Korea's diverse offerings.

Weather Patterns

  • Seoul:
    • March: 1-10°C, 11 rain days, 93mm precip
    • April: 5-16°C, 11 rain days, 47mm precip
    • May: 11-22°C, 15 rain days, 66mm precip
  • Jeju City:
    • March: 8-12°C, 16 rain days, 163mm precip
    • April: 11-16°C, 13 rain days, 88mm precip
    • May: 16-20°C, 10 rain days, 89mm precip

The weather can vary significantly between Seoul and Jeju, with Jeju often experiencing more rainfall, particularly in March. Expect a temperature range of 1-22°C in Seoul and 8-20°C in Jeju across the spring months.

Planning Considerations

A common tradeoff is the higher likelihood of rain in Jeju during March, which can affect outdoor activities. If you have flexibility in your travel dates, consider visiting in April or May when temperatures rise and rain days decrease. Your adventure style and tolerance for rain will influence your experience, especially with outdoor activities.

Why This Depends on YOUR Trip

  • Your flexibility: If you can adjust dates by a week, you may catch better weather windows
  • Your priorities: Rain-sensitive activities vs indoor cultural experiences affect timing
  • Your budget: Shoulder season offers lower prices but weather varies more
