Autumn in Korea lasts for around three months from September until November. Usually, the earlier you purchase airline tickets, the cheaper. This would also be a perfect time to look for affordable accommodations. The choice would just depend on your budget and preference. If you’re planning to stay outdoors all throughout the day and don’t mind sharing rooms with others, you can book a hostel. However, there are also hostels that provide private rooms.

If you prefer hotels, there are also affordable hotels perfect for your dreamy autumn in Korea experience. You can conveniently choose from several best hotels through Klook. An overnight stay ranges from P3,000 to P10,000 – but since we’re talking about budgeting, a hotel in Seoul that costs at least P3,000/night is already a steal. 

After preparing the documents and booking a place for you to stay, this is where your itinerary comes in. To fully experience the beauty of the autumn season, you’ll have to travel a bit far from Seoul and just get in touch with nature. Nami Island, Seoraksan National Park, and Naejangsan National Park are just some of the famous autumn destinations in Korea. 

Klook Tip: Make sure to download the apps necessary for this trip for a more seamless autumn experience. Also, it’s much more convenient to locate & organize your Klook vouchers if you download the Klook app. 

Most scenic spots in Seoul can be visited for free, so after freshening up, head over to Hongdae, Myeong-dong, Han River, and Itaewon for a food trip and/or shopping. If you want to take a look at the beautiful trees in Seoul Olympic Park, it’s also just a few stations away from Seoul’s top tourist spots. 

Don’t miss the chance to wear a hanbok and roam around the Gyeongbokgung Palace while leaves are falling down. You can book a hanbok rental with hairstyling in advance for only P320 on Klook. This is way cheaper than renting on the actual day.

Nami Island’s famous tree-lined alleys will transform into orange, red, and yellow. Relive your K-drama fantasy when walking along the First Kiss Glass Sequoia Bridge. You shouldn’t skip this tour since it’s one of the must-visit places in Korea, especially during autumn 🍂. To make planning easier, Klook offers discounted tour packages for Nami Island. You have the choice to visit Nami Island or combine it with other attractions such as Petite France, Italian Village, and Garden of Morning Calm. Tour packages are priced between P600 - P4,400.

Seoraksan National Park houses Seoraksan (Mount Seorak), the third-highest mountain in Korea. The park brims with jaw-dropping landscapes. The lush green forest turns lovelier during autumn🍂 so if you still have the energy for a long walk, don’t skip this. 

Klook’s Seoraksan tour will take you to breathtaking spots around the national park and the Sinheungsa Temple where you can offer a prayer or meditate.

Klook’s Naejangsan & Jeonju one-day tour is perfect for those who are on a short holiday that wants to visit as many sights as possible. Naejangsan National Park is also famous for its fall foliage. After a long day of walking, you can eat delicious street foods in Jeonju Hanok Village.
