Autumn in Korea — October and November — is many travelers’ favourite season. Temperatures drop to a perfect 10–18°C, the humidity disappears, and the mountains and parks surrounding Seoul explode in spectacular reds, oranges, and golds. It’s hiking season, palace season, and food festival season all rolled into one. And with bags packed for layers and cooler weather, autumn is the perfect time to use luggage delivery.

Best Fall Foliage Spots in Seoul

• Namsan Mountain: The mountain at the heart of Seoul turns gold in late October — take the cable car up or hike the trails through autumn trees
• Bukhansan National Park: Just north of Seoul, this mountain park offers spectacular fall hiking — Dobongsan and Insubong peaks are famous for autumn colour
• Changdeokgung Secret Garden: The Huwon (Secret Garden) behind Changdeokgung Palace is one of Seoul’s most beautiful spaces in autumn — advance booking required
• Olympic Park: Over 200 types of trees, peak colour mid-late October
• Seoul Forest (Ttukseom): Large urban park on the Han River, particularly beautiful in autumn light

Fall Foliage Outside Seoul
