Fall is one of the most beautiful times to visit Seoul. By late October, the summer humidity has disappeared, temperatures are cooler, and the city’s parks and walking trails begin turning brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red.

One of the best places to experience autumn is along Seoul’s many urban streams, including Yangjaecheon (양재천), where tree-lined paths, peaceful waterways, and colorful foliage offer a relaxing escape from busy city life. Many cafes, bakeries, and European-style restaurants and brunch spots are also here.
