Cool crisp weather and beautiful autumn foliage in hues of red and orange are just some of the reasons why we love autumn! In Korea, the leaves fall from September to November, but the best time to visit is in October and November.
There’s no better place to recreate your award winning scene from Goblin where bae catches a maple leaf than in South Korea! Read on to find out the best places to recreate your favorite K-drama moments with your Seoul mate.
Nami Island

Nami Island literally means “tree lined island” and is exceptionally beautiful in the autumn months! With rows of pine and maple trees painting the town red, there’s nothing more romantic than taking a stroll along these avenues with bae.

Seoraksan National Park
Enjoy a quick escape from the bustle of Seoul as you venture into the natural wonders of the city.

There is a cable car that will take you to one of Seoul’s best viewpoints.
Hongcheon Ginkgo Forest

This place is the epitome Autumn. The Hongcheon Ginkgo Forest is only open in October and for good reason. This gorgeous Ginkgo forest comes alive in the fall when the leaves turn golden yellow. Did someone say yellow brick road?

Naejangsan might be a little out of the way but the views are definitely worth travelling for. Klook your Naejangsan visit and let the bus take you to the national park! From there, you will get time to explore the place on your own.
Nari Park

The beautiful Nari Park is definitely one of the top places to visit in autumn. The Kochia Scoparia flowers, which only bloom in autumn, paint the fields beautiful hues of pink, red and green. The ocean of Miscanthus flowers are also a big hit for the gorgeous pink backdrop they provide to all OOTDs.
Instagram boyfriends get ready, we can foresee you taking many shots in these fields.
Mount Daedunsan

N-Seoul Namsan Tower
The N-Seoul Tower is a must visit spot for any traveller in Seoul! Head to the top of the tower and recreate the famous Boys Over Flowers first date scene with your bae. Sitting right at the summit of the Namsan mountain, you’ll not only get to enjoy the mountain views from the highest point in the city, you’ll also be looking down at all those autumn hues.
