A route to plan from Seoul
From Seoul, arrive at Dongdaegu by rail or reach Daegu by coach, then connect by local bus or taxi to your chosen approach.
This is a route suggestion, not a live timetable. Confirm the departure, final connection and return service for your travel date.
Where to stay
Choose a practical base
Look for accommodation in or around Daegu and neighbouring Gyeongbuk. Compare its distance to the arrival station or terminal and your first sightseeing stop. A rural attraction may be easier to visit from a town base with an arranged transfer.
For a hanok stay, ask about bed or floor bedding, private bathrooms, steps, check-in and luggage storage. For a hotel, compare access to the local transport you plan to use.
