What people love about South Korea Tours in April
- South Korea Express
We had an amazing tour guide in Justin. His great sense of humour and historical knowledge made the trip exciting and fun to places some might not consider travelling to. Highly recommended.
- 12-Day South Korea Adventure: From Seoul to Jeju Island
The tour meets the expectations well, a great option to travel with like-minded people. Including a great tour guide Damien, he is one of the locals and knows a lot about South Korea. However, some accomodations could be a little bit better.
- 10-Day Premium South Korea Adventure: Culture, Cuisine, and Coastlines
We were able to see all the famous stuff we wanted to see and also some places I would have never thought to visit. Our guide did his best to help us. Overall we would choose to travel with dragon trip again.
What our customers ask about South Korea Tours in April 2025
How crowded are tourist attractions in South Korea during April?
April marks peak tourist season in South Korea coinciding with cherry blossom viewing. Popular sites like Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul and Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju see their highest visitor numbers of the year. Mid-range hotels such as GLAD Mapo Seoul and Shinshin Hotel Jeju typically reach full capacity weeks ahead. Travelers can best navigate the crowds by visiting major attractions before 9 AM or after 5 PM particularly in Seoul and Busan. A TourRadar traveler suggests: "Book accommodations well in advance for April as it's peak season but the cherry blossoms make it worth dealing with the crowds."
What are the must-see cherry blossom viewing spots in South Korea during April?
South Korea's premier cherry blossom locations include Seoul's Gyeongbokgung Palace and Namsan Park both accessible from the LOTTE City Hotel Mapo. The historic Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju presents cherry trees against traditional architecture while Busan offers seaside viewing at Gamcheon Culture Village and Haeundae Beach. The Korea Folk Village near Seoul combines cultural heritage with spring blooms. A TourRadar traveler notes: "April is when everything comes alive with cherry blossoms creating the most magical atmosphere at all the historic sites."
What cultural festivals and events happen in South Korea during April?
South Korea's April calendar features the expansive Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival and the scenic Gyeongju Cherry Blossom Marathon near Bulguksa Temple. Seoul hosts the Lotus Lantern Festival with nighttime parades around Jogyesa Temple celebrating Buddha's birthday. The Jeju Cherry Blossom Festival adds volcanic landscapes to spring flowering views. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The timing in April was perfect to experience both traditional festivals and natural beauty."
What should I pack for South Korea in April regarding clothing?
South Korea's April temperatures fluctuate between 8-20°C (46-68°F) requiring versatile clothing choices. Essential items include a windbreaker for morning hikes at Seoraksan National Park walking shoes for exploring Bukchon Hanok Village and both casual and smart casual attire for temple visits and urban areas like Gangnam. Hotels such as Ramada Encore Busan maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. A TourRadar traveler advises: "Definitely pack layers as mornings can be chilly but afternoons warm up nicely for outdoor activities."
