Enjoy The Breathtaking Autumn in Seoul

There are so many beautiful destinations in Seoul to enjoy the beautiful orange trees and crispy wind. However it can be confusing to decide which ones are most worth visiting during a short trip there. Here we have recommendations of 7 best places you must simply visit during your Autumn trip to Seoul!

1. Olympic Park Seoul

Originally created in 1986 to host Asian Games and then, Summer Olympics in 1988, this park is now a popular place for locals or tourists to spend the day out in the sun. This park is perfect for you and your loved ones to go bike-riding, picnics, or even just to go walking and enjoying the chilly Autumn weather.

This park is especially perfect to go during the Autumn season. Not only does it serve the typical red and orange trees, look out for huge lands of pink muhly grass that makes up for the perfect unique Instagram photos!

2. Seoul Forest

Another recommendation for those who like to spend time basking in the natural Autumn beauty of Seoul is Seoul Forest! This place is huge with 600,000m² of 5 separate parks filled with hiking trails, playgrounds, flower displays and so many more! You can even spot some deers in this forest!  

Every spot of this forest is definitely picturesque, however the highlight of your photos should be the giant golden Gingko trees that reflects the water and creates a beautiful colorful Autumn reflection. The visual “Autumn in Seoul” is definitely defined here, t-mates!

3. Garosugil

If nature isn’t really your thing, we would really recommend the shopping streets of Seoul, especially Garosugil. Not only is it busking with unique street scenes, you can shop for quite literally anything! From high-end boutiques to cute and warm cafes, this place is perfect to relax and wind down but still be surrounded by the beautiful Seoul Autumn atmosphere.

Magnificent towering gingko trees can also be seen here as you window shop some of the best finds in Seoul. Just don’t forget to pick up your pumpkin spice lattes from the cafes, t-mates!

4. Seonjeongneung Tombs

To enjoy total solitude, you can visit one of the less popular yet still interesting Seonjeongneung Tombs. Fun fact, Seonjeongneung Tombs is one of South Korea’s UNESCO World Heritage sites! This historical place is the resting place of South Korean royalties in the past, it is important to remember to pay your respect if you decide to come here, t-mates.

Look out for the 500 year old gingko tree that sits next to the tomb keeper’s house too! Full serenity is definitely something you can expect here.

5. Gyeongbokgung Palace

Finally it comes to this infamous place, t-mates! Gyeongbokgung Palace is filled with traditional and cultural atmosphere, perfect if you want to fully immerse yourself in the real South Korean vibes.

Here’s a tip from us, t-mates, rent hanbok for a free entrance to Gyeongbokgung Palace! Not only that, you can definitely post the perfect cultural Instagram photos with those hanbok and magnificent traditional palace background. Your followers might even think you become a South Korean royalty!

6. Bukchon Hanok Village

Not only Gyeongbokgung Palace that fits the whole cultural experience, there is also Bukchon Hanok Village! Bukchon Hanok Village is a relic of the Joseon Dynasty which had triumphed for five centuries, from 1392-1897 to be exact. 

Although not filled with grand palaces, the traditional houses in this area reflect the architectural style of the past South Korean period. You can also wear hanbok to feel the full cultural experience as you walk through the lane here, t-mates.

7. Cheongyecheon Stream

The reason we recommend this place specifically is because of the infamous annual Seoul Lantern Festival you must simply visit! This festival is held in November, entering the early Winter season, however you can still enjoy the Autumn breeze at early November.

The festival features a number of charming large paper lanterns and LED sculptures along Cheonggyecheon Stream. It is definitely a one time experience on your trip to Seoul, t-mates!
