“I could use a little change of pace.”“I want to eat something delicious, visit cute cafés and treat myself!”
If that sounds like you, our editors recommend an autumn trip to Korea.
In fact, Korea is a destination you can fully enjoy in just a weekend. Leaving on Friday night or Saturday morning and returning on Sunday — 2-day and 3-day trips are a popular way to travel.
Autumn is also the perfect season for walking around the city, as the summer heat fades. Why not enjoy Korea’s food, beauty and scenery to the fullest before the cold of winter sets in?

After your meal, hop between stylish cafés and bakeries and look for seasonal autumn sweets.
