Ideally you need 4-6 days when visiting Seoul; you can spend 4 days checking out the city's major attractions, and the other 2 days visiting the surrounding cities, going skiing, or heading to Nami Island.
Seoul is cold in winter and hot in summer. Spring and autumn are the most suitable for travel with mid-May to mid-October the best time. Try to avoid the rainy season, from June to September, when the temperature is higher. Spring is a great time to visit and see the cherry blossoms.

In winter, Gangwon Province around Seoul is ideal for skiers.
