What people love about South Korea Tours in April
The tour is amazing, all the events were organised so well, really recommend of coming in April cause that’s when all cherry blossom happens in Korea!
South Korea Classic 10 Day - One Life Adventures
- 12-Day South Korea Adventure: From Seoul to Jeju Island
PROS: Damian is a very good guide who help you whenever you need. Very nice and do the experience much more enjoyable. Same with Servet :) I really enjoy the tour and have a lot of fun. The group was very friendly and made a lot of good memories. I could enjoy and discover korea just wish that the tour coud be longer and see more parts of this country. The guide that join us in Busan the first day(Feize) was very nice and friendly. Show us a good restaurant and answer all the questions and give us good recommendations. It was specifically nice to end the trip in a hotel. Cons:They change the location of the hotel the week before traveling to Hondae to not a that good location without explanation and I had book a hotel in advantage self 2 days before the day started and the new hotel was way more far so it was a little inconvenient. The guide to the DMZ was very nice but very difficult to understand and feels like she didn't explained that much as other guides that er could hear around. Needs at very least a better speaker. Needs to do something in case that a person in the room snores and disturbs the other people sleeping.
- South Korea Circle Adventure 5D/4N
So far so good not just enough time each places to see seems getting on the road is more impt .Maybe with this tour need to highlights more impt places to see and stay.
What our customers ask about South Korea Tours in April 2026
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."
How much does a trip to South Korea typically cost in April?
Peak season tours in April range from 1800-3500 USD for 7-12 day itineraries. This covers stays at properties like LOTTE City Hotel Mapo Seoul or Ramada Encore Busan transport and guide services. Daily meal costs average 15-30 USD while cultural activities such as hanbok rentals cost around 15000 KRW. A TourRadar traveler mentions: "While April is more expensive the cherry blossom experience makes it worth the premium pricing."
What traditional Korean experiences are best to try in April?
The spring weather makes April ideal for cultural immersion through temple stays at Golgulsa Temple traditional tea ceremonies in Insadong and hanbok dress experiences at Gyeongbokgung Palace. Jeonju Hanok Village runs special springtime programs while authentic accommodations like Gyeongju Hwarangroo offer traditional sleeping arrangements. A TourRadar traveler shares: "April was ideal for outdoor traditional activities especially with cherry blossoms creating the perfect backdrop."
