Solo Backpacker Packing List for Seoul in Fall

📅 Sep - Nov

🌡️ 19°C / 10°C

☁️ Crisp, clear, and beautiful foliage

temperate

Fall in Seoul is crisp and colorful—perfect for solo backpackers exploring temples and markets. Pack layers for temperatures between 10–19°C, comfortable walking shoes for navigating bustling neighborhoods, and a light jacket for cool mornings. Don't miss the stunning autumn foliage at Namsan and nearby parks.

Bring a portable phone charger; Seoul's subway and attractions are spread out, and you'll rely heavily on navigation apps and translation tools while traveling solo.

Pack slip-on shoes for temple visits—you'll remove them frequently at Korean cultural sites like Gyeongbokgung Palace and Buddhist temples throughout the city.

Layer with a merino wool base layer and lightweight sweater; fall temperatures fluctuate throughout the day, and you'll want flexibility as you walk between districts.
