Gyeongju in March

March puts Gyeongju in the messy middle

How the score works

One number out of 100, blended from the four factors below: comfort, crowds, prices and weather. Higher means go now. Lower means queues, rain and paying more for the privilege.

58 mixed

Festival gravity. Everything gets pulled in.

Factor breakdown

Crowds

How many other people had the same clever idea. Built from researched monthly visitor patterns, then pushed harder for public holidays, school breaks and big events.

56

Weather

The weather that cancels plans rather than just dampens them. Built from monthly climate baselines plus researched storm, typhoon, smoke and snow periods.

69

Prices
