Weather
May in Korea brings pleasant spring weather with plenty of sunshine. Daytime temperatures typically range from 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F), while evenings can be cooler, especially early in the month. We recommend wearing light layers—such as a T-shirt or blouse with a light jacket or cardigan. A light scarf or windbreaker may also come in handy for breezy mornings or evenings. Overall, May is one of the best times to visit Korea—mild, fresh, and beautiful with blooming flowers and clear skies!
Currency
The official currency is the Korean Won (KRW). Most major places accept credit cards, but it’s useful to have some cash for small shops or local markets. ATMs are widely available, and currency exchange is offered at airports, banks, and hotels. Tip: 1 USD is approximately 1,400 KRW (rates may vary).
Electricity
  • The standard voltage in Korea is 220 volts. The outlet has two round holes and is the same type used in France, Germany, Austria, Greece, Turkey, and many other countries.
Internet
Korea is known for its fast and reliable internet. Free Wi-Fi is available at airports, hotels, cafes, subways, and public facilities. For more stable access, especially while traveling, visitors can rent a pocket Wi-Fi device or purchase a local SIM card at the airport or convenience stores. Major telecom providers offer tourist-friendly plans with generous data.
