What people love about South Korea Tours in March
- 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.
- South Korea Circle Adventure 5D/4N
The organisation by the local tour company was good and the local guide excellent. The distances between sites required, out of necessity, some significantly long periods on the road. We appreciate there must be a balance between travel and places visited but perhaps an "extra day' might be something to consider (e.g. perhaps stopping overnight in Haeundae Beach) On balance the locations visited were all of interest although slight individual modifications might be helpful but that comes down to personal preferences (e.g. the winter Olympic site was just to the ski jump slope whereas we might have seen the locations of other of the winter sports).The hotels adopted for the overnight stops were generally well appointed although the Gyeongju hotel was acceptable but not as good as the remaining three So overall we were satisfied, and the tour was to our expectations
- 10-Day Premium South Korea Adventure: Culture, Cuisine, and Coastlines
Fantastic ten days in South Korea with so much packed in to the trip . A great combination of activities , food and cultural sights . It was fairly active with a lot of hills /steps . The tour leader was great and was flexible where requested so everyone’s needs were considered. The group was small and a diverse mix of people from different countries so very interesting to share our perspectives. South Korea is an amazing country and would love to go again .
What our customers ask about South Korea Tours in March 2026
What special events or festivals can I experience in South Korea during March?
March brings South Korea's spring festival season to life starting with the cherry blossoms. The Yeouido Spring Flower Festival transforms Seoul's Han River area into a blooming pathway. In the coastal city of Jinhae the country's largest spring celebration the Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival fills the streets with pink petals and cultural performances. Local food markets and traditional music shows add to the festive atmosphere. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The Cherry Blossoms were amazing and visiting during the festivals made the experience even more memorable."
What is the weather like in South Korea during March?
Spring temperatures in March range from 37-55°F (3-13°C) creating comfortable conditions for exploring. Seoul's historic sites like Gyeongbokgung Palace enjoy mild sunny days while coastal Busan sees slightly warmer temperatures. A TourRadar traveler reported: "March was the perfect time to visit - not too cold and beautiful clear skies for taking photos of the palace grounds." Morning temperatures can drop significantly especially in mountain regions like Seoraksan National Park making layered clothing essential.
Which regions in South Korea are best to visit in March?
The southern regions shine in March as spring arrives first in Busan and Jeju Island. The historic Gyeongju area offers early cherry blossoms particularly around Bulguksa Temple while Seoul's palace districts come alive with spring colors. Luxury stays like the Grand Josun Busan or Lahan Hotel in Gyeongju provide excellent bases for exploration. Travelers often note "the contrast between modern Busan and historic Gyeongju is particularly striking in March."
What unique cultural experiences are available in South Korea during March?
March opens up diverse cultural activities across South Korea. Visitors can try on traditional Hanbok at Gyeongbokgung Palace join K-pop dance classes in Seoul's vibrant Hongdae district or participate in temple stays at Jogyesa Temple. Spring tea harvesting begins making it an ideal time for traditional tea ceremonies. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The temple stay experience in March was incredible - the weather was perfect for outdoor meditation and traditional activities."
How crowded are tourist attractions in South Korea during March?
Tourist numbers in March sit between winter's quiet and peak cherry blossom season. Major sites like Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village see steady but manageable visitor flows. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Early March was perfect for enjoying attractions without the heavy crowds of cherry blossom season." Central accommodations like Shinshin Hotel or GLAD Mapo offer convenient access to main attractions while avoiding peak hours.
What wildlife or nature experiences are best in South Korea during March?
Nature enthusiasts find March ideal for outdoor activities. Hiking trails in Seoraksan National Park open up Jeju Island's volcanic landscapes become accessible and Busan's coastal paths offer pleasant walking conditions. A TourRadar traveler observed: "The spring migration birds were returning and the first wildflowers were blooming in Seoraksan." Nature-focused accommodations like Haru Guesthouse in Sokcho provide easy access to hiking trails and outdoor activities.
