Autumn in Seoul 2025: Golden Routes & Glow Stops
From golden hanok villages to peaceful forest paths, explore Seoul’s autumn like a local—and end the day with a trusted skin clinic glow-up via BEAUTIPIN.
When to Visit: Seoul's Autumn Peak
Seoul’s autumn colors begin to peak from early October to early November. During this period, the city's palaces, lakes, and parks are blanketed in warm tones of red, amber, and gold. It’s the perfect time to walk, take photos, and feel the cultural rhythm of Korea's capital.
The Classic Route: Palaces, Villages, Lakes
Start at Bukchon Hanok Village (10 a.m.–5 p.m.) for peaceful hanok-lined paths. Head south to Deoksugung Doldam-gil—a quiet stone-wall road that glows in the afternoon sun. In the evening, stroll along Seokchon Lake, known for its mirror-like reflections of maple trees. Don’t forget a latte stop at Garosu-gil, where gingko trees line the walkways.
Local Picks & Quiet Corners
Looking for lesser-known gems? Explore Dream Forest for panoramic views without tourist crowds. Visit Changdeokgung’s Secret Garden (advance booking required) for a curated nature walk in royal style. And if you love café culture, end your walk in Yeonnam-dong, where indie cafés meet fallen leaves.
