Hi,we are arriving in seoul on april 20 -24..Is there a chance we could still catch the cherry blossoms?
Thanks:-)
Hi Wanie. I believe it may be a bit too late around that time in Seoul as the flowers are already blooming last week.
Hi, can you let me know if I go to seoul from 5-12 April, would it be a good timing to see cherry blossom? should i go earlier or later?
Hello! Yes, according to the forecast, early April (April 6~10) is ideal for you to see the cherry blossoms in Seoul. 🙂
Hi! Where do you recommend to view the cherry blossoms on April 17-19 then? Thanks for the reply!
Hello, we recommend you visit places where you can see king cherry blossoms in Korea instead of cherry blossoms since most cherry blossoms are gone from mid to late April. You can check the best spots to see king cherry blossoms at the link here! https://blog.trazy.com/king-cherry-blossoms-korea/

Hi there. I think yes you will be able to see it! It might be in full bloom or it might already be gone. It depends on the weather.
