Firsthand Experience

Namsan and Gyeongbokgung may be the first places that come to mind when you think of autumn in Seoul. This time, I want to share Cafe Relax at the foot of Bukhansan. The red and yellow leaves outside the windows looked like a postcard. 🍁 Large windows frame the autumn hillside like a painting. Take a seat by the window with a coffee and enjoy the view at your own pace. The courtyard also has outdoor seating, where red brick, tiled roofs and autumn leaves create a different atmosphere. ☕ If you like leaving some unhurried time in your travels, an autumn coffee break here fits nicely into your itinerary. Beyond the popular foliage spots, there are other lovely ways to enjoy Seoul in autumn. ✨

Recommended by Ms Karyl

I especially recommend the autumn views from the windows. If you enjoy photography, explore both the window seats and the outdoor courtyard, and leave yourself time to linger over your coffee.

Planning notes

Leaf colors and leaf fall vary with the season and weather. These photos show the scenery during our visit; the same autumn colors are not guaranteed on every visit. Map platforms list different closing times, so check with the cafe before you go.
