Seoul City has unveiled its “103 Autumn Trails,” a list of scenic routes perfect for enjoying the city’s vibrant fall colors.
With four new additions like Maehon Citizens’ Forest and Yongsan Family Park, these trails cover around 158 km and feature nearly 70,000 trees, including ginkgo, cherry, and metasequoia.
Divided into four themes — city trails, riverside routes, park paths, and walking trails — this year’s routes offer diverse ways to experience Seoul’s autumn beauty.
Peak foliage is expected from late October to early November, slightly later this year due to extended warm temperatures.
Highlights include Gangbuk-gu’s Ohyeon-ro, a peaceful route lined with zelkova trees, and Eunpyeong-gu’s Bongsan Forest, where visitors can enjoy the scent of cypress.
