May in Korea is one of the most exciting times of the year — not just because the weather is perfect, but because it’s Golden Week season, when several public holidays line up to create extended breaks perfect for travel!

With Labor Day (May 1), Children’s Day (May 5), and sometimes Buddha’s Birthday (음력 4월 8일) or weekends falling just right, many Koreans take advantage of this golden opportunity to pack their bags and head out on much-anticipated trips, both at home and abroad.

Whether it’s a family road trip to Jeju Island, a romantic getaway to Busan’s beaches, or a cultural stroll through Gyeongju’s ancient palaces, Korea in May is buzzing with movement and joy. Nature is in full bloom — think cherry blossom remnants, green mountains, and clear skies — making it the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments.

Travel agencies see a huge surge in bookings this time of year, and airports are packed with excited travelers flying to Japan, Southeast Asia, or even Europe. For those staying within Korea, scenic drives, glamping trips, and local food tours are top choices.

But Golden Week isn’t just about the destination — it’s about taking a break from the hustle, spending quality time with loved ones, and creating stories that last. In a society known for its fast pace and long work hours, these rare holidays are cherished chances to recharge and reconnect.

So whether you’re off to explore somewhere new or simply enjoying a slow day at home, Happy Golden Week, Korea! Let the adventures begin.
