Hi, sounds like you’ve got a long time in Korea. If you want to see autumn leaves around Seoul, then maybe it would be best to visit Jeju first (early-October is a lovely time for Jeju). Seoul’s autumn leaves really shine later in the month, so visiting Seoul later would be a good option, yes.

I wouldn’t worry too much about staying in specific places to see the leaves, as you can see them all around and I would recommend choosing somewhere that’s convenient for travelling around to various places. Hongdae and Myeongdong are convenient neighbourhoods in Seoul, as well as Insadong (closer to palaces and autumn views near there). For Jeju, it depends on what you want to do. Jeju City and Seogwipo are convenient bases for visiting most places on Jeju, whereas beaches like Hamdeok Beach or Hyeopjae Beach are great for seaside views and staying on the shore.

Thanks.

That’s a bit late for fall foliage in most places. There may be some gingko leaves around by then in southern parts of Korea, but most will have dropped off and been blown away by then. Naejangsan National Park is one of the last places to see fall foliage in Korea, so that would be your best option.

There aren’t any places, sorry.

Hi, sorry, but autumn leaves are all gone by then and the winter weather begins. There might be a few leaves left on the ground, but not really much to see.

Hi Emily, there are tours available for fall foliage sites across Korea. Are you looking for a one day tour, or a mutli-day guided tour to several locations?
