Spring (April to June) is widely regarded as the ideal season to visit Jeonju, South Korea. The weather during this period is particularly pleasant with mild temperatures that typically range from 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F). This is the perfect time to enjoy Jeonju's abundant outdoor attractions, such as the Jeonju Hanok Village, without the discomfort of hot summer temperatures or the chill of winter. Spring in Jeonju is also a visually stunning period as the city's cherry blossoms and colorful flowers bloom, creating a picturesque setting. Major festivals, such as the Jeonju International Film Festival in May and the Hanji Culture Festival, celebrate traditional paper making, also occur during this time, adding to the cultural allure of the city.
Fall (September to November) presents another favorable travel window. The weather cools down again after the summer, with temperatures similar to springtime, falling between 10°C and 22°C (50°F to 72°F). The vibrant autumn colors of the foliage provide a beautiful backdrop, especially in the traditional Korean gardens and temples spread across Jeonju. Attending the Jeonju Bibimbap Festival, which celebrates the city's most famous dish, is a highlight of visiting during this season. During both of these optimal visiting periods, it's recommended to book accommodations in advance as they may fill up due to the pleasant weather and overlapping events.
