South Korea Travel FAQs
A trip with Royalairtrip allows you to have a tour with freedom and flexibility. You decide where to visit, when to see, what to eat and where to stay.
Can I travel to South Korea without K-ETA?
Yes, passport holders from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Japan, China Taiwan, China Hong Kong, China Macao, and Singapore can be exempt from K-ETA. You will get a pop-up notice during the application process if you are from an exempt country. This policy is valid till December 31, 2025.
When is the best time of year to visit South Korea?
The best time to visit is Spring or Autumn. Spring (March to May) is ideal for appreciating romantic pink cherry blossoms, while Autumn (September to November) is perfect for hiking Seoraksan to capture colorful fall foliage. Both seasons offer comfortable temperatures and stunning natural beauty making them consistently favourite choices among international travellers.
How long should I spend in South Korea?
It is generally recommended to spend 10 days or more to explore its essential parts. Dedicate a few days to Seoul, the vibrant capital city, then enjoy fresh seafood and beautiful beaches in Busan. Moreover, leave some time for Seoraksan, Gyeongju, and Jeju Island to fully experience the extraordinary natural wonders and unique cultural heritage this destination proudly offers.
Can I combine my visit to South Korea with another country?
Absolutely! Royal Air Trip operates tours across 80+ destinations in Asia, Europe, and beyond. It is very easy to combine your tour with one or more neighbouring countries such as China, Japan, Thailand, or Vietnam. For a multi-country itinerary, simply send us an inquiry to connect with your personal travel consultant and design your perfectly unique journey.
Is it necessary to change the South Korea Won?
It is recommended to exchange money upon arrival rather than beforehand in your home country. You can exchange some local Won at the airport immediately after arriving — though the rate may not be optimal, so exchange only an appropriate amount initially. Afterwards, better rates are available at dedicated money exchange offices, banks, or hotels once you reach central Seoul.
