Pourquoi Avril?

Notre Avis

✅ A stunning, highly coveted time to visit. Time it carefully though, as the cherry blossoms only peak for about 7-10 days.

🎯 Best Time to Visit South Korea

October/November for Autumn leaves, and April/May for Cherry Blossoms. These shoulder seasons bypass the suffocating monsoon rains of summer and the brutal Siberian freezes of winter.

💰 Budget Guide: South Korea

Moderate ($80-$150/day). Extremely efficient and cheap public transit. Street food and local restaurants (Kimbap Cheonguk) are very affordable, while high-end Gangnam boutiques and Western dining are expensive.

✈️ Getting to South Korea

Incheon International Airport (ICN) is consistently ranked among the best airports in the world. It is located about an hour outside of Seoul, connected by the incredibly fast and affordable AREX express train.

⚠️ Conseils de Voyage Essentiels South Korea

💳

Get a T-Money Card Immediately

Buy a T-Money card at the convenience store inside the airport. It works on all subways, buses, and taxis nationwide. Reload it with CASH at any convenience store.

📱

Download Papago

Google Translate is mediocre for Korean. Download 'Naver Papago' for dramatically better, more nuanced translations, including an excellent image translator for menus.

🗑️

There Are No Trash Cans

Public trash cans are bizarrely rare in Seoul to discourage household dumping. Expect to carry your empty coffee cup or street food wrapper in your pocket for miles.

🥩

Learn the BBQ Etiquette

Korean BBQ is cooked at your table. The staff will often start it for you, but you must flip the meat. Use the provided scissors to cut the meat, dip it in ssamjang, and wrap it in a lettuce leaf.

🛡️ Assurance Voyage Recommandée

Get travel insurance for peace of mind.
