Visit Namiseom, the Garden of Morning Calm, and Petite France when they transform this autumn! Get to all the attractions in one day when you join this bus tour! (New users get extra $3 or ₩3,000 off first booking 🎉)
South Korea transforms beautifully during fall (October-November), and three of the best places where you can experience the season are found in Gyeonggi-do. The romantic half-moon-shaped island of Nami, the vast and pleasant Garden of Morning Calm, as well as the French cultural village of Petite France all get an autumn facelift that you can witness in one day.
If you don’t have time to travel far from Seoul but want to enjoy fall in Korea, then visiting these three popular attractions is highly recommended. Below I’ll share more about how you can get to these places easily, but, first, let’s have a look at what these places look during autumn:
Nami Island in Autumn
While Nami is an attraction that you can visit regardless of the season, many people find it most appealing during fall. Its transition from summer usually takes place in the middle or towards the end of October (varies depending on weather), in which time you can expect to see a combination of red, yellow, and gold hues all around the island.
If you haven’t visited this attraction yet, you can expect to see romantic lines of trees, lakeside decks, gardens and fields, activity zones, and cafes where you can spend time and take in the beauty of Nami. But wherever you go, one thing is for sure: every corner will be Instagrammable and, yes, you won’t need to apply any filter or editing!
Garden of Morning Calm in Autumn
It’s quite surprising to know that the Garden of Morning Calm used to be just a private garden project. Now, it houses over 5,000 plant and flower species that attract around 600,000 visitors per year. But what’s more interesting is how all the fall colors just come together — you get a good mix of green, orange, red, and yellow eveywhere, which is reflected magnificently on their lake.
When you visit, you’ll love the scent of their homegrown chrystanthemums and their display of ginkgo and maple trees!
3. Petite France
Petite France is Korea’s famous French cultural village. It’s well-loved for its vibrant European-style architecture and the interactive ways that it tells the tale of The Little Prince. During autumn, this attraction in Korea transforms just as wonderfully as Nami Island and Garden of Morning Calm. You’ll love the various photo zones that they have as well the mini-festivities that they offer.
Autumn Tour of Nami Island, Garden of Morning Calm, & Petite France: 3-in-1 Bus from Seoul
