Planning around October 2026
October is peak autumn in Korea, with crisp, clear weather and autumn foliage — one of the most pleasant months of the year and a popular time for outings.
- When National Foundation Day or Hangeul Day falls on a weekend, a substitute holiday may apply.
- In years when Chuseok lands in early October, expect heavy holiday travel.
