Daejeon Tourism

Daejeon City Tour

The best way to get a feel for a strange city, in a foreign country, is to take a guided bus tour of the major sights. You'll then have an idea of where to go to spend a little more time later.

Eight Scenic Places

Yuseong Hot Springs, Gyejok Mountain, Sikjang Mountain, Gubong Mountain, Jangtae Mountain, Bomun Mountain, Daecheong Lake and Expo Science Park are all worth a visit.

Mountains of Daejeon

And if the eight scenic places are not enough, you can find more tranquility at some of the other Daejeon mountains.

Parks of Daejeon

Daejeon has some thirteen parks for visitors to enjoy some natural space.

Daejeon Tourist Information:
3-1 Doryong-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon (within Expo Science Park).

Buses come in two colors, blue and green. The blue buses are cheaper (600 Won) and more crowded, especially during rush hour.

If you can read Korean and know Daejeon reasonably well, each bus has a diagram on the side outlining its route. Unless they have route maps in time for the World Cup, the best thing to do is ask someone.
