South Korea in early vs mid September with kids?
Hi everyone, I’m planning a family trip to South Korea with 2 kids and trying to decide between two date options:
Option 1: Aug 30 – Sep 7
Option 2: Sep 12 – Sep 20
We’re planning to visit Seoul and Busan.
For Option 1, my main concern is the weather — heat, humidity, and rain since it is right at the end of August / beginning of September.
For Option 2, I’m hoping the weather may be slightly better, but I’m worried it may be getting closer to Chuseok / Korean Thanksgiving, and I’m not sure if that affects crowds, trains, restaurants, or sightseeing.
For those familiar with Korea travel in September, which date range would you recommend for a family trip with kids? Is Sep 12–20 noticeably better weather-wise, or would Aug 30–Sep 7 be fine and easier before the holiday period?
Thanks!
