Discover the hidden charm of Daegu’s Seomun Market in one stop
When you come to Korea, if you want to understand the local culture, you should start with the traditional market. This time I came to the Seomun Market in Daegu. It covers a very large area and is divided into multiple areas: everything from fabrics, clothing to fresh agricultural products. The most attractive thing is the dazzling array of snack stalls and local specialties.
I came here just to walk, shop and eat. When I got tired of shopping, I casually found a noodle street food stall that seemed to have a lot of customers. All I can say is that it is delicious! The soup is very sweet and the noodles are thick and chewy! Halfway through the meal, add the chili peppers on the table to the soup. It's slightly spicy and salty, and you can't stop eating it.
After eating, I happened to pass by Fabric and Quilt Street. It’s also good to buy enough. The store will provide a compressed service to make it easier for everyone to carry it back home. Of course, the price is also very good, if you like it, don’t miss it!
Although we did not visit the entire market, we were full of surprises when we came here, and we could feel the traditional charm of Korea more deeply. When you come to Daegu, remember to set aside time for this traditional market full of local flavor!

The Art of Espresso: Entering the Coffee World of Daegu Casanello
#100 Ways to Travel
South Korea. Daegu｜Casanello
Casanello is mainly famous for its espresso coffee and exquisite desserts. It has two branches in South Korea, and this time it is the Daegu branch. The restaurant has a two-story space. The open terrace on the first floor combines the style of an Italian street cafe. It is really comfortable to sit on the terrace and sip coffee in the cool weather.
This time, we just happened to catch up with the craze of black and white chefs. The store also launched #chestnut tiramisu, which has a moist and sweet taste, but when paired with a cup of espresso, the sweetness is perfectly balanced. The store offers a wide variety of espresso coffees, and there are many choices. It is recommended to look at the menu pictures provided on the naver map first to avoid difficulty in choosing.
This time I chose Caffè strapazzato, a classic coffee from Naples. This drink is basically a combination of espresso sprinkled with coffee frosting and cocoa powder. The bitterness of espresso and the sweetness of sugar create a wonderful balance. Cocoa powder brings a hint of chocolate flavor, making the overall taste more rounded and delicate. The fusion of coffee and chocolate is not too heavy, but brings unexpected sweetness, and the taste is not too bitter.
Although the portion size looks a bit funny, I highly recommend everyone to give it a try for the taste of this classic coffee.
🔰Mixed fruits 믹스드 프룻 / ₩6,000
🔰Caffe strapazzato 카페 스트라파짜토 / ₩2,800
🔰Tiramisu / ₩7,500

Downstairs is Dongseongno Shopping Street, on one side is the Yakryeong Market. Walking forward, you will pass by Gyesan Cathedral, and further ahead is Seomun Market. In between, there is a stop for the sightseeing bus.
A Very Cozy Starbucks: Daegu Jongno Hanok Store
This Starbucks is located in a traditional Korean house (hanok). After purchasing your drink, you can walk through the courtyard and find seating where you need to take off your shoes. These seats are incredibly cozy! When good seats with a view of the courtyard become available, people often move quickly to claim them. The view from these seats is simply wonderful.
It's also close to the popular Galbijjim restaurant, Geosong Galbijjim, so it might be a good idea to have tea here after your meal. If you visit Daegu, this is definitely a spot you should check out. I visited on a sunny day, but it seems like it would also be charming on a rainy day.

A laid back and spacious park with great vibes. Scenic view of the Hangang River, with boats passing by and seagulls gathering around. Nice place to spend evening time with cool breeze. Picnic mat and table rental available nearby and plenty of eateries are present around. You can also rent a bike for 3000 won for an hour and take a ride. If you like to walk, it is a place to visit. As it has good walking track along the river. You can see amazing sky colours at sunset which will be definitely refreshing. This is literally one of the highlights of my trip to Seoul

Boulangerie in Daegu, Le Pouldu
At the bustling Dongseong ro, there lies an old school boulangerie called Le Pouldu, wite the decorations of peeled off paints on buildings. It serves various breads and cakes but the most attractive item in the display is the berries and fruit tart, where the top layer is covered with fruits. Judging on its appearance one can know that this shop has been operating for many years and quality is being kept consistent judging by the number of years it has been in operation. Situated a few meters away from Toyoko Inn, it is very conveniently located at the centre of Jungangno.

Vibrant Dongseong-ro at Daegu
When talking about vibrant area in the city, Seoul as Itaewon and Hongdae; Busan has Seomyeon and Nampo. In Daegu, nothing beats the night life in Dongseongro. Situated between Banwoldang and Jungangno, Dongseong ro came alive at night where many eateries start doing business attracting many youngsters to that area. The wonder of that area is that everything you like, you will get at that area. You can have your dinner, go for singing, drinking in a bar, even catching a movie within that area which is the reason why many youngsters loves gathering there. A truly great area to hang out for those who like to have night life.

Trendy and cozy restaurant at Daegu
Daegu, being the third largest city in South Korea after Seoul and Busan, has many special and unique eateries especially around Jungangno and Banwoldang. The uniqueness of the food culture in Daegu is that most shops are individually owned and not franchised, which one will enjoy various tastes at different restaurant. This western food restaurant, called Chomil, serves specially handcrafted delicacy. There are several menus to be chosen, but the steak with mached cheese potatoes and minced meat pasta is a good choice. The taste of fusion tickles the tastebuds and provides a flavourful aroma, much recommended to visit for meetings or even celebration.
Autumn Foliage at Apsan Park
Sitting within the vicinity of South Daegu, Apsan Mountail offers a spectacular view of of autumn foliage from the mountain foot to the top of the mountain. It is around 600m tall in altitude and there are many trails for hikers to hike to the top of the mountain. Alternatively, one can also take the Apsan cable car to the mountain top, just that one has to walk around 30 minutes before reaching to the cable car foot. There is a cafe and an observatory for visitors to have a bird eye view of Daegu metropolitan area, and the night view is also spectacular. There is a huge rabbit structure located by the observatory.

Hangang Park
#fallingforfall
An urban park along the Han River. There are a few Hangang Parks alongside the river and the one we had gone to is the Yeouido Hangang Park, which is near the Yeouinaru station.
Nice relaxing park to chill out and relax. There are quite a lot of locals / families around the park picnicking, walking, and cycling, while enjoying the riverside / fall foliage views. The trees at Yeouido Hangang Park had started to change colours when we were there, and should be even more beautiful when it reaches its peak.
Yeouido Hangang Park is also where you can book and collect the tickets, as well as board the ferry for the Eland Cruise. The park is also near 63 Square where there's an Observatory, art museum & aquarium.
It's Psy's Drenched Show Sunday.
It's about 900 people standing, so I got in early and it didn't seem too hard to watch, but it's really hot. I think it's really Africa, it's so hot that I saw a few people collapse. #HotPlace
good coffee and great vibe coffee shops
